Max said a similar thing at the Best an Fairest but I love that quote.

“You can’t win premierships early in the season, but you can definitely lose them. We’re doing everything we can to be able to set ourselves up and give ourselves the opportunity again ”

Neville's interview is from 33 mins 50 secs.

    Two things

    1. I said to him the other day

    'you played well the other day in the praccy match at Casey on Saturday'

    Nev 'I have to if I want to keep my place in the team, even at training'

    How times have changed

    2. His comments re fitness and rehab, what I have been saying

    I wish Neitz had said we had unfinished business on the GF dais in 2000 instead of hoping we could get back there one day and give it another crack.

    Neita was another... just too nice.  too often.

    Not enough mongrel.  often enough.

     

    Our club shrank away from that game,  and the Bummers club...  as we did with the Hawks club.

    There were a couple of sliding door moments early in that game that I wonder if they had've gone our way if things would've been different.
    Captain Nietz took a couple of strong marks close to goal within the 1st few minutes of that game when it was at its hottest.
    Kicked 2 points.
    Ball goes up the other end, Essendon captain Hird takes a mark around CHF.
    Kicked truly and they were away with their tails up.
    Also the fact that we seemed totally unprepared for the physical onslaught that was dished out to our young players early.
    We should have been prepared for this as they had beaten us up for the previous 6-8 years.
    And this was a GF.
    Anyhoo, lets hope its us with the mongrel for the next 10 years.

    This.. is IT in a nutshell.

    It's a fn Grand Final.   Not a fn pantomime.

    We were nowhere near prepared...  to be mean and nasty enough, for a Grand Final.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • 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.
