Universal Love Melbourne memories

I didn't know that about 186. Interesting decision!

Not so for our own board award it seems.

The Votes Situation

Now, many of us I suspect don't want to vote. Nevertheless, the integrity of the 426 (and integrity it has) depends on the same number of votes being given out each week. Alternatively, we could double up on the votes next week and give the BOG 20? (this is assuming we are better next...

Pretty fascinating to look at the threads from the time. My favourites were Tulips thread 'We're all in this together' on the same page as Topkents 'what punishment would you inflict'

at the G and goal from 60m

 

[BaliDemon]

Lyon snap in the dying seconds on a wet afternoon at Waverley to win the 1988 QF v West Coast. Roar from the crowd was like nothing I’d heard then or since.

Eagles streamed forward one last time with 20 seconds on the clock but Murray Wrensted fluffed the shot on the run 35 metres out directly in front. Absolute pandemonium ensued.

There was something magical about finals at Waverley. Beautiful big ground with old school suburban footy atmosphere.

 

[Scythe94]

A comparatively recent one, but complete with Woohoo Guy, this one was chef's kiss

 

[Scythe94]

Still one of the most ridiculous goals I can remember (timestamped link). The physics still don't make sense.

 

[schmuttt]

The Essendon win in 2014 was euphoric considering how bad we were at the time.

 

[Bluelegs]

Remember we played Geelong down there one time in miserable conditions. We were getting belted and Eddie McGuire was commentating. It was pointed out during the last quarter that we were on track to have the lowest number of inside 50's ever recorded. Eddie started openly barracking for the record and was completely miserable when we eventually got the inside 50 that prevented the record from being broken.

Wonder if the Woohoo Guy is on here, if you're reading this, I'm a huge fan of your work!

 

[Jamurp]

Still one of my favourite finishes to a game, epic goal by Tmac, complete with the goofy kick whilst being spun in a tackle, perfect.

Kicked 5 that game, unreal! Also Cam Pederson was so good in the last 10 mins of that game.
Top 3 home and away games ever for me

 

[Demon13304]

Got some weird nostalgia for this game. Being one of our 2 wins that year, and only win against a non expansion club, I watched the highlights a fair bit but fmd it was difficult at the time.
40 odd points up with 10 mins left and we almost flunked it lol

 

[Demon13304]

Seeing all these videos makes me miss Nathan Jones so much. Dees legend in my eyes

That jersey - had forgotten how gross it was

For all the focus of grinter and big hits , he was actually a very skilled footballer.

goal from 50 on the left was this one too. Very cathartic due to all the trauma at that ground.

Ah, remember that fondly. I was in America.

Fun fact: between 1999 and 2019 (the year I moved to Sydney), I only missed attending four games at that dreadful place: 2015 (win), 2011 (186), 2006 (draw), 2005 (win), giving me a lifetime record of 0-13 at the venue.

But hey, at least I missed 186

memories, focus & composure.

That bump vs Hawthorn was amazing, I can feel the hit thru the screen. Mew would have been sore that all week.

The best part was Robo-Goody's reaction in the box, back when he was still human and not fully an android.

I was supposed to go to that game with a mate but when he arrived at my joint to head in it was pissing down said we **** that, stayed home sinking piss and doing lines instead. Made a horrible game somewhat enjoyable.
