It’s a tradition that costs you bugger all too put on

Pathetic

And Tomorrow you shove BT and James Brayshaw down our throats….

 

Rant over….

They would probably show replays of 88 and 2000...over and over again.

    I’m not sure if you were counting on watching the game tomorrow on 7plus but I believe it isn’t showing on that service.

    Rugby League is on 92

    Always good for a brain dead, mind numbing, zero care, sports hit

    A simple game for simple blokes.

    Watching my first game of the year to see if Wayne Bennett can get the Rabbitohs into the granny.

    71 year old who's coached at the highest level for 30 odd years I think.

    Amazing achievement

    I see enough replays of those games in my head.

    Got a bit jumpy after watching training this arvo so I settled myself by watching Jaka & Ox highlights. How good were those blokes. 

    I've also got the Robbie Tawny Port but I suspect the contents have aged worse than I have. If we get up tomorrow I might just leave it in its nice presentation case and build a shrine around it.

    My best grand final memories as a kid involve staying up to watch that marathon. Having guys like Jezza and KB coming into your subconscious if you were falling asleep. Great memories. 

    With the game on so late tomorrow night I plan on getting a real good night sleep because there's no way I'll get any tomorrow night regardless of what happens. And that plan is not going to work out anyway.

    Legendary thread.

    Footy in the late 80s hey… wow, some of you remember that better in your head movies - that’s rough viewing.

    That WCE Elimination Final in 88 is nuts.

    one of the best half back flankers we've had, certainly in my 36 or so years of being a demon

    his tag-team job on diesel williams with andrew obst in 94 was one of the all time great surprise coaching moves

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
