Club History Completely random Melbourne memories that come to mind for no particular reason

[PerfectFooty]

I often think back to that Trengove sling tackle on Dangerfield. Not sure why, maybe just because of the AFLs crackdown.

Ah i remember going to high school the next day and everyone saying it was an unfair suspension for a fair tackle

Wouldn't be calling it a fair tackle now

 

[Topkent]

Finding out that that guy was a menace to the mods who had dodged bans with about thirty different accounts over the years was a delight.

Guy msgd me like a week ago with a s**t filled bowl

 

[RandB]

Lol remember how 50/50 that was in the AFL community aswell. Tough fair tackle.
You'd get 6 weeks now

Yeah, it was a pretty brutal sling.

 

[Topkent]

Yeah, it was a pretty brutal sling.

Held the back of the jumper and pinned an arm and slammed him. In many ways the perfect tackle

 

[Proper Gander]

Disappointed to hear it wasn't legitimate that time we caught up.

I don’t know, in vino veritas and all that

 

[Proper Gander]

I was thinking about round 23 2018 when we wore a 160 year anniversary jumper that was absolutely mint

 

[Proper Gander]

Also, since the thread is Melbourne memories broadly rather than just matches, I had this sudden flashback to 2018 talking to ANB and accidentally really freaking him out.

I remember going to a heritage jumper game vs Geelong at the G on a miserable Friday night and we got absolutely spanked, Paul Johnson kicked a ripper goal in the last quarter to reduce the margin from like 120 points to 114

Claim that as a victory to keep it under 20 goals.

2008 I reckon was the heritage year

Edit- yep

If you told me Shane Valenti was ever our leading goalscorer in a match I'd have said you lied to me you lying liar.

Somehow I forgot how s**t we were when we were actually tanking

NOT tanking, thank you very much.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

We came home hard in that last quarter. Scoring fest. I remember the only positive thing about the night was going to the Mahogany Room at Crown after the game for the first time ever as guests of a guy we knew who was a member.

 

[Topkent]

Statue of limitations surely passed now, we tanked harder than Ansett

 

[Headless]

No, no - Paul Johnson was a natural back pocket, and our best player Brock McLean's best position was the interchange.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Dont believe we tanked that game, we were just genuinely that s**t.

 

[Headless]

Wouldn't have needed to given Geelong's 2008.

No not against 2008 Geelong they were also unreal but I think I just blanked in my mind 2008/09 tbh. Can't remember much outside the Richmond game when that s**t campaigner who's name I can't remember goaled after the siren and I cheered for it. Jordan some campaigner

Dangerfield played the next week as well which wouldn't happen as well. I think danger may have got BOG the next game as well.

My memory from that game, Simon Buckley getting a lucky break and found himself running towards an empty goal. On a horrible wet night and the dees goalless he decides to take a bounce. Still remember seeing the ball just splash in a puddle and it gave Geelong time to defend.

 

[Topkent]

No, no - Paul Johnson was a natural back pocket, and our best player Brock McLean's best position was the interchange.

Picking a kid from the royal children's hospital to captain that game was a touch too far I thought.

 

[Topkent]

McMahon.

Little s**t pencil moustache as well he was a dog's reject I think

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

McMahon.

Ex Dog taken in the top 10 IIRC

getting suspended and then it was overturned because the guy he belted made fun of his tattoo of his ill child. Then absolutely dominated against the dees the next week.
