    Melbourne Media

    Just looking at the Hun site, it is interesting to see the spin they put on the game just in the titles for their related stories. You'd think that the Demons had romped away with the win...

    "Kokoda courage gets Melbourne over line"
    "Defiant Demons"
    "Dees show resolve"
    "No great escape"
    "Swans slow to adapt"
    I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
    We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

      They had 3 players injured and were on there 2nd consecutive road trip and beat the 2005 premiers... I think its justified to have those story titles.

          I agree it was a good victory for them, I just enjoy reading the Melbourne spin on things.

              Okay which is worse out of these two, both from the SMH?

              "Dee-moralised"
              or

                  So nothing about "Ugly" or "Flooding"?

                              If you cannot compete for the premiership, it's better to be young and exciting than middle-aged and dowdy.

                                      You guys have exceeded requisite qualifications for SMH Sports editorial.

                                              If anyone noticed the Channel 7 ticker in Martin Place/Flinders Street a few days ago, the word 'ugly' preceeded the word 'Carlton' regarding their loss to the Hawks. It finally seems as though the adjective no longer solely belongs to us.

                                                          How true, and what irks me is how they constantly bag the swans the for their chipping around, only a few out there (Walls, Brereton mostly) say the swans are good at it, as the other side has 18 players in the swans forward 50..
                                                          I mean what are they suppose to do, just bomb it in and hope for the best.
                                                          The only way to counteract that is for the swans to go long and quick and get BBBH one out with his opponent or MOL on the lead.
