obviously not up to the last quarter yet?!

Yeah its a good old fashioned mollesting, but not at the loss of structure or skill.

It's purely fitness and experience under pressure

 

I agree - things are never as good or as bad as they seem.

Glass half full - fitness levels were abhorrent and players were basically doing pre-season into the first half of the 2012 season. Players still young and developing. Love to see how they'll go with another pre-season under Misson and the inclusion of a couple more hard at it midfielders into the side.

It's amazing how many people on here are into masochism (myself included, having rewatched 186 again recently to make sure I didn't imagine it........)

I went. I really don't need to re-watch it to confirm my memories.

Watched rd 5 Saints, a really good game I have it on HD so when im sad and negative I will watch it and believe again. Go demons

god bless fox footy <3

how quickly pessimistic supporters forget that for 2-3 quarters in a lot of games we were really competitive. Add to that mature bodies and high draft picks from the trade period/draft and another year in the gym and we should be back pushing for finals within 3 years


You were there, Choko?! In years to come thats going to be like saying you were in new york on 11/9/01. one day ill meet a "survivor" and will ask what it was like in geelong that day

I really hope we're over these sort of games next year, where we have a crack for 3 qtrs only to get spanked in the last qtr.

Exactly the same happened against Freo at Etihad.

We were up and about that day. Freo broke us with fitness and having Jamar and Bennell go down with harsh injuries killed us in the end.

Gippy

There is not enough money in the world to make me re-watch 2012 matches.

In fact, the day our season ended my Foxtel package was changed from footy to lifestyle.

You people sicken me. Good for you!


I can only move forward. The 2012 season i have wiped from my mind since the 3rd Q. Round 1.

Mitch Clark is all i can recall

All Demon supporters are masochists. That's just a straight-up fact son!

Personally, I think the team was doing a pre-season for 2013 for the whole of 2012. I believe Neeld realised early on that 2012 was going to be a write off due to all sorts of issues (fitness, learning a new gameplan, etc) and used the year accordingly.

But oh!! --- that Essendon game !

But oh!! --- that Essendon game !

I was kicking myself that I didn't watch that one live. The next day I plonked myself down at the pc and streamed it on the bigpond site. Crappy quality but man it was a great morning. The wife even took the baby to the in-laws so I could watch it in peace and yell and scream.

Man that was a great morning. Couldn't believe Garland.


I actually admire those watching replays of this season. I seriously couldn't do it.

Easy to fortget that after Barty's brilliant goal late in the 3rd we were only a few points down .. i agree that there is hope to be found even among the ruins of 2012

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
