Anyone who spent time at the MCG in '98 would remember this song being flogged violently at every break.

    Ha!  It’s eerily familiar.

    What sticks in my mind is the Voice of the G halftime Mario Cart races.  Some epic battles there!

    Interspersed with a whole lot of Energy  Australia ads booming on that old scoreboard that eventually caught on fire ?

    I love how much the goal umpires milked it, and how often the commentators would say, "I wonder what the goal umpire is going to do."

    Hopefully our losses to Richmond and Hawthorn this year were our st kilda and Geelong loses in 1998, or our Carlton loss in 2000. Get them out of the way.

    One of my favourite memories. I'd never seen us beat Carlton at Princes Park. Was sitting behind the goals. 

    Also Junior missed that goal. 100%. I remember my dad smacking the footy record on his leg because he missed. And everyone else thought he did.

    I was behind the goals that day too!

    I remember as we headed out hearing the chatter about Neitz having broken his ankle - obviously he had been stretchered off, but this was prior to the internet days so nobody knew exactly what had happened.  I was shattered to hear that as he had been in such good form, and the tandem he had created with Lyon and the Ox, with the Wiz at their feet, had already clicked and was creating havoc for the opposition defence.

    I believe we were undefeated that year with Schwartz, Neitz, Lyon and Farmer all playing.

    Throw in Smith, the young urgency of Yze and Robbo, two key rucks in Stynes and White, Tingay still playing good football when he was healthy.

    No surprise we went on a run towards the end with a healthy lineup.

    And the "When your whole car's singing it's Ultratuned" jingle from before they switched to sleazy ads.

    My favourite is when Tingay puts us further in front against the Eagles and does a little fist pump:

    'Big kick this one... I think he's got it... Melbourne, increase their lead'

    So many good quotes from that tape!

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
