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!

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
