Ah, the '90s, when I rusted my three '80s-born kids onto the Dees (for which they don't always thank me...)!

Jako's 8 were in R1 in an 11-goal dominance of eventual grand finalists, Geelong (we fell to premiers, West Coast, all 3 times, however...) He had 4 against the Hawks, as did do-we-remember-him-30-gamer Greg Doyle.

    Pretty sure he kicked something like 4 goals 10 behinds that day. Missed an absolute sitter from just outside the goalsquare then minutes later dobbed one from 50 out on the boundary.

    Twas there that day. We had come down from the Mallee to the big smoke mostly to see Collingwood vs. Carlton. The old man was also going to see the Saints and Roos with one of his mates, but since I never really got a chance to see the Demons play, Mum talked him into taking me out to Waverley to see this game. Shame we were staying in bloody North Melbourne at the time. I'm sure the old fella wasn't impressed with the 3 hour round trip! ?

    Jaka was his enigmatic self. I remembered one shot where I think he missed from 10 out running into goal, and then threaded another from an impossible angle from the boundary.

    Another highlight of that trip was the Blues vs. Pies game as that was when Mick McGuane did his famous run and goal. That was worth the price of admission, but more so was the end of the game. The Pies got up and we were sitting near Jack Elliott's corporate box. He was foolish enough to emerge after the final siren and he didn't look impressed. Say what you will about Collingwood, but the reception that boorish private school bully got from them was truly glorious. ?

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Sunday’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
