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 !!

Our list in 98 was a lot better then today look at the spine Lyon/Neitz, The OX, Viney, Ingerson, Shanahan. Then ad in the 2 Febey's, Tingay, Stynes, Hopgood, Smith The wiz, Chell, Rigoni plus some kids White, Robbo, TJ. I'm sure I have mist but that team should of won the Flag.

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
