1994 , last time they met in a preliminary Final.

Lyon,. Schwarz, Stynes, Viney,  Lovett,  Tingay, Wight, Charles, Pike, Viney  ... the flag was there for the taking but we ran into a brick wall in Perth.

Thankfully the current Eagles are not a patch on the 1994 version.

Lewis starts the mind games with WCE:  "Wily Melbourne veteran Jordan Lewis has thrown a barb at the West Coast camp ahead of the preliminary final by suggesting the Eagles are “more predictable’’ with key forwards Josh Kennedy and Jack Darling in the team".

Lewis is right. There's is a Hawthorn style game. Deny them the control with constant pressure and just like Hawthorn they'll fall away. Our game has to be at its Zenith but we will beat them. Beat them last time... we'll beat them this time. 

McGovern will find his day a hard long slog. Darling is a worry...but maybe we're just more of a worry now than we were a few weeks back. 

We've seen the best of the Weagles I think. Still to see the best of us.

Was there that day. A period in time before they learnt to Boooooooooooo. They treated visiting Melbourne supporters really well then. Were happy to talk as they wanted to know what the "East Coast" was like.  Well it was a long time ago.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
