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.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
