I think Whiteys mind is playing tricks! We had a couple of ordinary ones mid season according to my season highlights tape (the one where Todd Viney talks you through every game), including a particularly nasty one against St Kilda but no 100 point losses. The big losses were when we had a lot of experienced blokes out injured (including Neitz with a broken leg). We actually started the season well - an honourable loss to the Dockers in Round 1 in Perth and then a 25 point win against North in round 2.

Meh...more useless media conferences from the leadership group. I just can't see the point in these interviews.

Next week it will be Yze spinning some 'try-hard' upbeat dribble after another flogging.

Warren, I don't this article was referring to the start of 98, rather two games in isolation.

Poor...Jeff...his perspective is relevent as his game. :mellow:

Yes, in 98 we had a couple of 'lapses' during the season...but at least our little red and blue wagon had been rolling, at times very nicely. Fast forward to 2008 and our wagon not only isnt rolling, the wheels are wobbly, the paints chipped from hitting the deck a bt too often and when it does move forward it lurches distinctly to the side incapable of rolling in a straight line.!!

Oh hang on..I see where the similarity is......In your DREAMS JEff !!

Jeff...look up a dictionary...fumble around the D's ( like you do in games ) and stop when you find DENIAL... read it..and add it to you vocabulary..Your kidding yourself mate.

Give the guy a break. Jeez . . . sometimes I think my fellow Melbourne supporters actually actively dislike the guys who play for our club.

Give him a break.. :huh: ..why ? he opened his mouth. He's open to cooment. For what its worth I thought what he said was garbage. Now I dont know wheterh someone stuck a mike under his nose and asked him for the first 100 or so words he could think of or if he actually beleives it. More worry if its the latter as this season and that are very different.

I feel it more that ok to dissitate upon what a player says.

I dont like nor dislike the bloke.. I do think he's past it as an effective and first line contributor to any forward style of play. But that has nothing to do with my view on what he has to SAY !!

About the only thing in common with 1998 is an "8" and the colours of our jumper !!

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
