Why would you?

Because it was our best finish since 1964 (better than 1988 because of the margin). To me that's a positive. Admittedly, very low bar.

    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

    It would have been October 2 anyway .

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

    Knew it would be long day.

    Should have been a no holds barred ,all in,Donnybrook.

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG after a dismal performance in Gather Round to face the reigning dual Premiers Brisbane. What do expect to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Brisbane

      They really had me fooled when I picked them with great confidence to beat the Bombers at Gather Round last week. I should have recognised that nothing is more quintessentially Melbourne than defeating the undefeated early premiership favourite one week and losing to a winless cellar dweller on its way to establishing a record losing streak the next.

      The Demons return to Melbourne and the hallowed turf of the MCG where they face dual reigning Premiers Brisbane on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?

      Melbourne’s much vaunted finishing power evaporated at Adelaide Oval on Saturday afternoon, exposed for the third time in four years by its Essendon Gather Round hoodoo.
