    I have managed to wipe most of that day from my memory, but I pretty clearly remember Neitz and Schwarz missing gettable goals late in the first quarter when we were still in the contest. Then we dropped our heads and were crapped on in every respect thereafter. Honestly though, we would have been the least deserving premiers in league history had we got up.

    rubbish, if we had got up that day we would have deserved it it's that simple. it's the objective of the game

    I remember watching Troy Simmonds get smashed by long and seeing the Melbourne players do little about it.

    Knew it would be long day.

    For me the only +ve for the day was sitting next to a glamour at the MCG who was dressed in skimpy demons shorts and singlet.

    Amusingly Essendon tweeted yesterday congratulating themselves for this great achievement 10 (sic) years ago. Tweet has subsequently been deleted. Presumably they couldn't remember which year due to inadequate record keeping.

    In fairness, I still think of 2000 as being 10 years ago.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
