'Neita, Neita. Whadya kick? Six in a final mate. Six in a final.' The Rev sounds like a cross between Daryl Kerrigan and Neville Bartos.

    I loved the Rev. Was shattered when he was sacked. Cried like a baby.

    Thanks for posting this footage. My first feeling was sad- Jimmy Stynes now dead, Garry Lyon in a serious battle with his mental health, the Rev seriously ill and dying. Also Sean Wight gone from that era. Any effort to  reunite or gather this team must be strange.

    Also happy memories of a team in which my hopes for each week, often delivered- every other year anyway!

    Yea some heroes there. Thanks for the memories guys. Sad to say after last weeks total non performance, Id probably rather watch these replays then current games of the present team. We need to at least try this weekend against North. I Hope Gawn, Hogan, Watts and Mcdonald as leaders can play ok this week. Garland needed to be dropped as a message of bad form not tolerated, but there could have been quite a few with him. Go Dees. Lets hope Roos is saying the same stuff at the end of Norfs game. Hogan six gaols awesome. McDonald great pressure. Watts you helped out too. Gawn you were everywhere. I believe we can do it. (gotta talk myself into it).

    I actually remember watching that footage back in the day which is surprising considering what I used to get up to back then.

    Wow.

    If anyone comes across any more snippets like this, I find it hard to express how much they'll be appreciated.

    Great stuff.

    Any of you posters who are feeling inspired by the Rev, if you want to rattle a tin at the Big Freeze game at the Gee to combat the Beast, let me know I can give you the contact details

    That 1998 side was epic. A forward line of Neitz, Lyon, Schwarz and Farmer, Ingo and Shanahan in defence, Woey in his prime, Rigoni coming from nowhere, Tingay. 

    It didn't seem fair that we could finish 4th, smash Adelaide, smash St.Kilda then come up against North in a prelim

    We should have made the Grand Final in 1998, the only thing that stopped us was the ;laughable Final 8 system created by the monkeys at AFL house.

    We were a better team than the Crows who won the flag yet should have been eliminated in week 1.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
