That's funny Nasher. I was just thinking about that game a week or so ago as I reflected on the folly of the notion that rain brings poor teams and bad teams closer by virtue of the rain neutralising the skill gap. When in fact it doe the opposite.

I remember saying to a mate we had a chance of winning that game because of the rain and IIRC we got flogged by at least 80 points and barely scored at all. He said i was stupid. At the time time we were on the way to the game and stopped for a beer at the Rose Hotel in Fitzroy just as the rain came tumbling down. In a rare outburst of good sense we elected to stay  and watch the game at the Rose. Stayed dry. Beer was cold and cheap. Bar was packed. Dees got smashed.

I reckon it was more than a decade ago though.

 

8 years ago. During the Bejinng Olympics i'm pretty sure?

    I have no interest in watching this game tonight. But if Freo win it puts the bummers on the bottom but I don't want them getting the number 1 pick. They were punished for cheating, they shouldnt be rewarded. But I want Freo to win so when we play them we arent the first team to lose to them in case it happens. 

    Just saw highlights of the suns swans game. Gee thats old fashion wet weather footy. That's footy that was played 20 years ago with conditions like that.

    One good thing was crossed off the list today - we won't be the team to give Fremantle their first win of the season.

    Which is an absolute disgrace!

    If we hadn't played Essendon in the first 5 rounds, we win.

    It was an obviously strategic fixturing decision to play them against us so early in the season knowing they'd have fade quickly, just like how the AFL conveniently had them play against us, St Kilda and GWS in the last pre-season; the 3 bottom placed teams from season 2014, right in the midst of the uncertainty about the outcome of ASADA's case against them.

    Possibly through one of the radio stations websites? 

    Or the AFL website match centre:

    Collingwood are putting on a disgraceful performance - nearly 10 goals down at 3/4 time. Look very ordinary.

    Yes, but make no mistake, we'll be preparing for their best.

    We will be the filth next week.

    We were poor last week and still managed to stay in striking distance for 3 quarters.

    Today shows Collingwood poor is even worse then us when poor. I take it as encouraging that we've improved.

    It was our only Friday night game that year, and one of few we get.  

    I seem to remember DumbItriou saying something like "we give them a Friday night and nobody goes. Don't deserve any more". It was the opening of the Bejing Olympics FFS.  8/8/08

    • 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.
