For anyone watching on TV today, Channel 7 are showing our 2000 Qualifying final against Carlton before todays game.

It's a timely reminder that if you get the right mix of talent and grunt, you can turn it around quickly.

Still the best footy experience of my laugh. It'll take a Grand Final win to top it.

How many "free kicks" can you see if that game was played today. I'm yelling in the back and holding the man at the TV and no one at the ground thinks its out of place

Spirit and attitude too. Touches of arrogance even when we weren't favourites.

What is amazing watching it back was the players who kept us. With Farmer, Neita & Woey were being well beaten, It was the likes of Walsh, Collins, Leoncelli & rookies in Bruce & Green who kept us in touch at 3 quarter time.

That's a coach & FD getting the best out of young players and few average ones. Getting them to lift on a big occasion and play for each other. Motivation and the will to win are 2 amazing ingredients if you've worked hard at your skills and fitness pre season. You can't JUST train and expect to turn up and it will just happen on the day.

You need to do special things and make extra efforts on game day to win the big ones or pretty much any match in the AFL now.

Alot of people have said recently we lack genuine champions of the game, in my opinion David Neitz is just that!

i remember in the 2000 finals series my house was full of red and blue streamers and i thought we were a real chance of knocking off the bombers.

How good were bruce and green in that last quarter. I remember when we came back in the final quarter I was sitting next to an old man and he looked at me with a bit of a tear and said we are going to win. That was a brilliant game. It was up there with the 98 finals wins against stkilda and adelaide.

But, but, but... Neale Daniher was a buffoon of George W. Bush proportions! He ruined our culture! I also believe he sank the Costa Concordia before moving onto the Eagles and destroying their list!

Rewatched this again this morning to lift my spirits.... There was a real hard edge to our team that day and a fair bit of swagger too!

Neita to mentor Tommy Mac and The Ox to work with our key forwards.

DemonWA Stephen Powell came in to support our volunteer program late March.

Said he kicked 4 goals in the prelim & 3 in the grand final, but the heavy loss in the G/f sorta washed away the good vibes.

Said Wallace dumped him out of the Dogs because he was too slow. Interesting.

yeah i never understood why so many clubs were happy to trade him. Quality finisher.

glad to hear he is still around the club!

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
