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 !!

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
