Lol I have a feeling we're heading to mad Monday!

When and where are we meeting?

I have started already and won't have a problem continuing through until Monday.

I am absolutely devastated.

Struggling to string words together... but that was one of the most gutless, spineless efforts I've ever seen on a footy field. Our club is an embarrassment and that might be two years in a row we've had a chance to play finals and done absolutely nothing about it. I felt so empty leaving that ground today.

I don't often get emotional about footy but today really got me.

If by some miracle we do make the final jeez I hope we avoid Sydney. We will get beaten by a record margin if we come up against them. 

Honestly I reckon it's the best possible result now. A final for us this year (if it happens) will be a massive wake-up call. This is how good you need to be, and how intense your mindset has to be.

I'd love to play Richmond, but a match against Sydney is the best possible learning experience for the team as it stands now.

Could have had Port in an elimination final, then again I wouldn't back us to beat our womens team.

Would have gone better with the Lasses out there today.

Sat between two brothers in law ( Collingwood family ) in the Members. ( Very quiet today eh !! lol )

Even they were aghast at our putrid start to the game. At qtr time i turned to one and said. You thrashed us that qtr. I said watch. We'll win the next 3 qtrs and you'll still will. They thought me a tad defeatest.

After the game they were inquiring about lotto numbers !! :rolleyes:

We're....so....so... predictable.

Just a horrible performance all round against ordinary opposition. We will still likely play finals but a lot of the team has put the cue back in the rack.

Why will we likely play finals?

Reminding myself to never make fun of Richmond ever again.

We are as big a joke as they are, if not worse.

We haven't won a premiership in 53 years. Richmond are the All Blacks compared to us.

F#%k me!!! 

The Dockers were teased last week for being witches hats.

11 was the magic number in the first, that's how many shots at goal we allowed them also. So many inexcusable efforts early on.

Why didn't Goodwin attempt to make it a scrap early?

We have played enough games there and been stitched up early to learn or adapt a plan B.

Jesse Hogan is so bloody unlucky.

It just stinks.

Heres a guy who is not just incredibly talented but his passion is above so many others.

Nobody deserves that sort of bad luck but it's a double shame happening to a player that tries so much harder than so many others at our club.

We have so dearly missed his marking ability. It seems we have no other player that can take more than 8 marks in a game. Glaring problem.

Hope we can pick up some players that can.

Massive season next year for Jesse.

Can we also cut out this "we're not ready for finals" talk?

If we finish in the top 8 then we earned the right to play that first final, and who knows how we will do. At least wait and see how we perform, if we make it.

The weight of pressure will be wholly off our shoulders if we're in Adelaide or Sydney with everyone expecting a loss. Who knows what we'll produce. 

Getting there and being ready ...can be two very different things.

Also the lack of tackling...or anything sticking is self description. We hardly tackled and little stuck.

It was embarrassingly attrocious.

There is a lot to be said for going into the finals on the back of three wins and not a loss to a team like Collingwood.

Were not ready in 2016.....

I guess not ready in 2017!

Seriously 2017 will be very disappointing  if we don't play finals...

Whats concerning & needs addressing is lack of strong leaders to act on our lack if intensity very early on in the game...To go without a tackle for 11 mins in such an important game...Been the same theme against Nth & Freo games...Should have wrapt up a spot by now in the 8!

That was a very restrained reply because of the fact that ...WE ARE NOT READY FOR FINALS.

Just cracked open my 1st can of jim beam. Hoping when l wake up it will all have been just a bad dream

More likely when you wake up you will find another dozen empty cans around you.

 I'm in the same boat, I just want today to be a blur and most of tomorrow really.

    The premiership defender had his best year yet as he was given the opportunity to move into the midfield and made a good fist of it.

    TRAINING: Monday 11th November 2024

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons. Date of Birth: 10 January 1992 Height: 193cm Games MFC 2024: 19 Career Total: 235 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 24 Melbourne Football Club: 9th Best & Fairest: 316 votes

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    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. Date of Birth: 7 August 2003 Height: 185cm Games MFC 2024: 23 Career Total: 48 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 1 Brownlow Medal Votes: 1 Melbourne Football Club: 7th Best & Fairest: 347 votes

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #39 Koltyn Tholstrop

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
