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.

    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

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
