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.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
