I'm so sorry that the youth of today never got to see this team play. Jesus Christ they were good.

Adem Yze I owe you an apology. I always knew you were a champ, but bloody hell you had mad skills, and were much harder at the pill than I remembered. We had stars. Unfortunate that we came up against a team of thugs who would do "whatever it takes" to win a flag.

Before I die I want to see us physically maul a side to win a flag.

    Watching it right now, such a funny moment for Wiz’s 6th goal. A great grab by Jeff to deny Robbo taking a speckie! So much excitement in that forward line.

    The Daniher era 98-06 should have resulted in a flag. 2000 Essendon were too strong but 04 we were on top & lost the last 4 games to finish outside the top 4 .. just seem it was always a bridge too far for them.

    Have we seen a better half of football by an individual in our colours? Struggling to remember if anyone has come close to that second half performance. Freak!

    How good was White before they denied him his run and leap at the centre bounce. Clean and direct knock out to team mates. An outstanding feature of our great game.

    What a curse the AFL rules committee is.

    And how good were our fleet of left foot runners - Yze, Woewodin, A McDonald and Powell. Add Rigoni, Leoncelli and Johnstone and we had a weapon. How come we could never take full advantage?

    64 million dollar question... Daniher era resulted in making finals every 2nd year from 98-07. They couldn’t sustain the intensity to go all the way . They missed out on finals in 01 after making GF in 2000

    Watching White in full flight was phenomenal. I remember seeing him with the massive run up at an opening bounce and literally jump straight over the head of his opponent and that's no exaggeration.

    Compared to the forward lines of yesteryear, our current one is an absolute embarrassment.

    Can it be that the Corona virus has saved Goodwin's job for another year? He quickly dispatched Roos' defensive gameplan, into one that is kamikaze with a virtual third tier forward line.

     

    ps - watching those vids just reminded me of my dislike for Tarkyn Lockyer. The bloke was a faux tough guy who liked to dirtily give it out, but sooked up big time when he got a faint touch. M@ggot. Seeing Wiz tear him a new one was mesmerising watching!

    Commentators pro-pies from the start.  Nothing has changed.  Pinhead Hudson still sounds like he is dribbling dog poop smelling saliva down his chin, 20 years later.

    What a talented team.  You forget how good that squad was.  Shame we couldnt close the gate that year.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
