With our list we're not that far off....

Fitness and Experience.

It's quite enjoyable to watch.

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.

I admire your optimism mate, and I hope you're right, but we virtually played the Northern Bullants that day. They were missing about 6-8 of their best IIRC?

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.

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've got the Foxtel set to record the Bombers game.

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!

Just watching this game as I type and I thank Tassie for the boy, Jeremy Howe.

He is special.

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 !

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
