At about 5 mins to go in the third the free kick count was 10-16 our way, it ended up 22-19 their way. Says a lot, especially when Gawn gets done for holding when he was held all bloody day.

Good effort, just couldn't get clean inside 50.

Not unless we learn to score in tight games. Which we always fail to do in final quarters.

Our defense was good. Ultimately, their defense was better.

Deplorable umpiring in the last that made it very difficult to build momentum. I never knew how blatant the bias was in Perth because we always get smashed there. It was clear the umps were looking for any reason to award a free.

Shows a lack of integrity that they are  so easily influenced  by the crowd.....

66 inside 50's for 8 goals.

Far too many long bombs to no one in particular (or maybe to an Eagles player)

Congested forward line makes it hard for quality players like Watts and Hogan to lead out or take 1:1 marks.

Don't give me any positive [censored].   Once again we proved what a spiritless [censored] up club we've become.

I am distraught over this result, but this is garbage.

3 years ago a lot of us said "I live for the day we can take it up to the top teams."

Apparently we can now do that but it still doesn't feel much good.

Would've loved the win but kicked ourselves out of it and crap umpiring in the last quarter hurt

Robbed by those f'wits in yellow!

Come on. We robbed ourselves. Our inability to kick straight and make fundamental decisions. It's never the team's fault. The team failed to get the job done on countless occasions.

Wagner's kicking; Chris Dawes; Hogan's inability to be able to lay a tackle; Bernie Vince's lack of leadership and stupidity; and Kent's laziness. Yuck. The most heartbreaking loss of Roos' tenure.

I've never seen anyone play a worse game of footy than Jesse Hogan today, does not lead.

If only it was that simple.

With this club I am expecting we take a step backward next season.  We are  perennial losers.

You're right WJ.  Today hurts and it will be hard for some to see, but with more games we will take those chances today.

30 more direct chances to kick a goal and we stuffed almost every one of them.

Still dont know how to win when its on the line. Should of won that by a 4+ goal margin.

Absolutely livid.

We don't know how to win. Occasionally we know how to Kick a winning score but the nuances of WINNING still escapes us.

Shattered not to get the win, but that is a massive FU to the Demonland selection panel. Which guy/girl is going to have the guts to stand up say that they don't actually know more than the coaching panel. Terrific effort by the boys today. A few less skill errors and some better goal kicking and we win that.

I was there, Kent was not lazy, one of our best today by miles. Hogan was embarrassing.

0 goal final term in a close game is not a terrific effort

For [censored] sake, OMac, Wagner, TMac [censored] off back to the VFL until you can kick the fucken ball.  700k Sydney you can have him.....

This is crap!! anyone who knows anything about footy knows that they way that defence worked today was the reason we were in the game at all. You want to blame individuals? fine look into the forward line that kicked 8 goals from 66 inside 50s. Wet or not that is not good enough.

Love them both and hop they stay at the club for years but.

Watts and Hogan today didn't assert themselves.
Everyone has their bad days and unfortunatley both theirs fell on the same day.

another 4th quarter fade out which will always happen to a young team but still.

Really would have loved to get an upset win this year, St Kilda, Essendon, Carlton, Collingwood ALL have upset wins, unfortunatley we have none.

Major bummer.

Rubbish. We were "robbed" by our skills and weak backline.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.
