Yes after the 3 wins to kick off 2005, Cameron the Bruce 9 Brownlow votes.

Think it was for a day we were top not a complete round.

Tigers playing the role of the demons this week!

So if we bring the same pressure we bought last week to the dogs game we should be able to win. 2 goals was all they kicked in that 2nd half. They absolutely crumbled.

First on the ladder for two weeks in 2005. Rounds 2 and 3.

In 2004 we were first after 18 rounds. The deepest in a season that we'd been first since 1964. All the talk was about us. I think we were briefly flag favourites. Then Adelaide pumped us by 12 goals. We lost 4 in a row to end the season and were knocked out in the finals by Essendon. The most Melbourne way to end a season ever.

We have the premiership in the bag. Just sit back and enjoy. The Bulldogs couldn't even beat a Dustyless Tigers when we beat them convincingly.

One week is a long time in footy...let alone 4.2!

Me and my entire generation of fellow Melbourne supporters are probably more scarred by that month of football than any other in our lifetimes. I know I was for a long time. This year might wipe it away.

Dogs midfield is amazing but not sure how far they will go with their KPP. 

Amazing midfields won't win you finals. Their defence is make shift no presents whatsoever.

Forward line is non functional, they are weak they are an outside running, bruise free, indoor sports type operation.

Well Melbourne over to you. The chance for top spot is there if you want it. 

I barely noticed Hannan.

No eggs and bacon!

Doggies should be booking the Hotham chalets because,boy have they got some downhill skiers in that team. Daniel McCrea, Bruce Schacke, Treloar - put them under pressure and out come the poles

Nearly forgot Smith. Bet Naughton doesn’t get a clear run at the ball against us either.

The Dogs arent the real deal. Tigers missing many. There’s only one top team in the league

That result makes our win over the Toigs all the more impressive.

Yep i recall going to the match where we got there at the G with a crazy Demon supporter from my kids school (a rare random Demon supporter at that point).

Was it against the Blues?  I know i was sitting up the top of southern stand flank and seem to recall  Neita went alright.  Random Demon friend literally cried in disbelief after the final siren and the AFL ladder went up on the big screen.

Then i cried every week for the next 5!

Great win for the Redlegs in the SANFL tonight.

Sure did.  Would you believe they also showed the one with Cotchin and put it in a small screen as the live coverage was showing Cotchin also during the quarter time break!  Ground breaking stuff from AAMI & 7 ?

Wasn't watching every moment but i didn't notice him at all till about 5 minutes in to the third.  Was he sub?  Appeared to miss the first half but might have been super quiet also.

How are there that many people on this website with such a poor comprehension of basic maths!? Of course we bloody go to the top if we win or draw!
