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.

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
