Why did we never draft Nick Sautner?
My brother played on him a lot in the VFL, said he was a real sook. I remember when Fev signed with Casey and everyone expected him to play for us on here.
 
I remember defending Josh on the official club page in the comments a few years ago and Corey Wagner liked my post lol
I think I also wanted to punch LeverPuller's head in around that time when he was mod so I instantly became a huge fan or Josh after that.
 
That one year Cameron Schwab organised a marching band as half time entertainment one Queen's birthday.

getting belted at the cattery in 2019 with jay lockhart and kade kolodjashnij running around
Will stand by it to this day, Jay Lockhart could have been a good AFL player. Liked him as a forward in 2019, like him in defense in 2020. Shame nobody else gave him a go.
 
That and the Port game the next year as round 1 games were beyond depressing as a fan
The Brisbane game was just after the passing of Stynes. I remember there was some commentary saying the death impacted the players. It didn't take long until everyone realised we were shit.

After the port game I remember Jimmy Toumpas saying he let the Greek community down. I think in that game Pedersen ducked a contest and was called soft. He definitely proved everyone wrong. The other depressing thing was watching Wines, he just looked a star. I think someone mentioned viney being in the best. Pretty sure the next game he was already yelling at other players for being shit.
 
I remember reading in the paper that Melbourne planned on trading Schwarz to Richmond for Wayne Campbell, basically every Melbourne supporter wrote in a threatened to burn the club to the ground and the deal never happened (very similar to Oliver trade rumours this past offseason). I think I might have run to my room and screamed face down into the pillow while punching the bed when I found out we were cutting Jakovich and considered switching teams to the Bulldogs for a moment when the drafted him.
 
James Magner kicking our first 2 goals against Brisbane Round 1 2012.

Kicked the first, went the double cobra celebration then got a soft free kick straight after and slotted his 2nd.

Brisbane then over-run us and we lose by like 7 goals
That was a few days after Stynes' funeral.

Mark Neeld (he/him) had a meltdown in the after game press conference.

Then after a couple fo good high possession games Neeld turned Magner into a tagger and we was gone 18 months later

Sort of related but in the opposite way. When Ben cousins wanted to return to the AFL, Richmond had showed some interest but weren't going to recruit him, their supporters basically drove the club towards drafting him.

Schwarz had agreed to go to Richmond too
 
Ryan Ferguson for Brad Sewell was meant to happen as well but Ferguson didn't want to be traded.

Opening game in 1996 when the Cockatoo-Collins twin debuted together

We lost by 20 odd goals and I don't think one of the twins ever played another game for us
 
Jeff Farmer handballing from a mark over to gary Lyon in the goal square of a night game in the late 90's in one of the Wiz's first games

Pretty sure we were getting flogged too
 
David Neitz breaking his leg in a marking contest around 96 in the forward pocket at Optus Oval v Carlton

Remember watching Sports Tonight and they said Peter Matera had signed with Melbourne. Loved Sports Tonight, straight after Sandra Sully with the late news who was smoking hot back then. :love:
