POST MATCH DISCUSSION - Round 21

Well everyone... we did it.  We made hard work of it and we would all have been as nervous as we have been all year.  But we did it.  We responded to a fortnight of very poor football and have kept ourselves in the frame.

I'm super proud of the club.  When the pressure was on we stood up to be counted and won - we are now back in the eight and in there with a huge chance of breaking the finals drought.

I'm emotionally and mentally exhausted, but gee was it worth it!  DEMONS!

    We finally stood up when it counted.

    Huge win, and with games to come vs Brisbane and Collingwood, missing finals would be a disaster.

    Angus Brayshaw, what a return.

    Also, Gus Brayshaw showed today not only what a quality player he is but how important he can be to our football side in the coming years.  Wonderful game and almost brought a tear to the eye to see him out there.

    Welcome back Gus!  Back where you belong.

    Was worried when he got the head knock but he went on with it.

    Great four quarter effort from him and one of our best.

    Well I've been critical of our leaders and older players all year.

    Jones was superb. Pederson was fantastic. Lewis and Hibberd did everything they could - including some fantastic body on the line efforts in the last.

    Well done lads. Makes me proud to be a Demons supporter.

    Mr. Negative here,

    Glad we won, but we were shithouse.

    StKilda were just much worse.

    The forward entries still a major concern, players bombing away when they should be looking around. 

    Pedo, well done, puts that ridiculous Pederson vs Weideman debate to bed.

    Brayshaw, a great return game.

    Hannan clutch.

    You are welcome to your opinion, but holy hell am I glad I don't support like you and look at the negatives first.

    Imagine your season being sunk by Hannan and Harmes.

    That third quarter though was bad. We look cooked at this time of year. Hopefully fitness staff can do something about it this week.

    The umpires killed us in the 3rd quarter, We were tired but hung in there.

    Pedo best game ever. Gus welcome back.

    Jones back to his best,

    Give them a light week on the track.

    Defining match. When the Aints got to within 4 points we were either going to fold (effectively going backwards) or make a stand. Great stuff Dees. Here we go.

    My two big measures for success this year were beating the Saints and North.

    One out of two ain't bad but .... well you know what I mean

    Disagree, got lucky with some poor entries when we had clear options open. 

    An example is Lewis bombing in and Harmes taking a mark 2 on 1 when Weideman was all alone 40 out. There were many other times similar things happening but they get overshadowed because of individual efforts. I'm glad we have players capable of winning 2 on 1s but I'd rather we played a team game.

    Lets not kid ourselves, StKilda were as bad as a I can remember a team in the 1st quarter.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
