    Watching this and loving it.

    I was there with a mate and we gave it to every cats supporter leaving the ground, how we did not get beaten to a bloody pulp still surprises me to this very day.

    Beards were a lot more stylish and groomed back then too.

    Amazing we could ever compete, let alone beat any team.

    Fixed.

    What a memory, I was there also. Was that 2006 ? I think we ended there season in that game. Sadly they have gone in to greatness & we have been a disgrace ever since that game.

    It was 2005. Looking at the playing list back then, it wasnt particularly full of stars (eg players like hard nut Godfrey, Nicholson, big Benny Holland(which i remember one commentator said that Garry Ablett/some other gun had more skill in their pinky than Holland did all up). The difference is these guys were giving their all while our current list hasn't being doing so.

    If that game was 2005, we must have drawn down there in 2006? Does that sound right? It's been that long since we have won a real game my memory is failing me.

    Yep. 2005. Ontop of the ladder after round 12 only to then loose 7 in a row and fall out of the 8 needing to win our last 3 to make the finals.

    Started with that 1 point win over the Cats, then beat an inform Bulldogs team by 3 points after being down by about 20 with 5 minutes to go and then knocked off Essendon by 10 points in Round 22. Geelong did get revenge though flogging us in the elimination final and King breaking Jeff White's face.

    2006 was when we had the draw down there that ended their season as has alreay been mentioned.

    The Cats smashed us in the first final a few weeks later.

    It's actually so sad to think that it's hard for many on here to remember a time when Melbourne was a normal, competitive football team. For the last seven seasons now, we've spent our time in-fighting over new coaches, bad players, who should be dropped, who should be delisted, who to draft, who to trade, how bad our list is, the lack of members/supporters, our financials, so on and so forth.

    I can't wait for us to return at some point to just being a regular, competitive footy side, where we spend each week not attacking ourselves, but contemplating which forward set up is going to get us into the finals, or which teams stand between us and a flag, and which of our players are in contention for AA/Brownlows.

    The Cats smashed us in the first final a few weeks later.

    Smashed us, and White's face. I was in the stands and heard it happen. Sickening.

    Although according to Mark Thompson, Stephen King was lucky not to break his foot on Jeff White's face. That was an absolutely demoralizing game.

    Till this day I haven't forgiven Thompson. What a smart arse!

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
