No doubt that team was on drugs too.  Just look who their skipper was.

    We've beaten them heaps of times since then...

    Probably the only club that hasn't "had the wood" over us over the past decade.

    If anything, those assaults highlighted how flaky we were. 

    Why didn't Ox or Neita fly the flag? How would have Simmo or Greeny would have felt after being left out to dry?

    Some on here STILL condemn Hawthorn for refusing to get bashed up by Essendon during the Line in the Sand game. How dare they not stand by while 1st year teammates get poleaxed and intimidated? It's not like it did them any good. They got smashed in that game I got told...:pj:

    A couple of them was before the game even started. Long's was one of the most cowardly acts I've ever seen on a football field.

    We just spanked them on their own turf in front of their own smug supporters - why the hell are we reminiscing about the 2000 Grand Final? 

    Because this is one of the reasons why today felt so good.

    Schwarz did fly the flag. He body slammed Hird. It was one of the more memorable things to occur that day. Maybe he knew something that was going to happen 13 years later!

    he was a lone hand.

    We should have gone bananas right there and then but we didn't have the ticker.

    We had nothing to lose, they were undefeated.

    More embarrassing than '88.

    I remember Wallis and Long, but what did Solomon do?  He was a kid in 2000...

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
