Hard to believe we're watching 2nd vs 3rd. Pressure is intense but skill level and gameplans are absolute horseshit. This match should be used as an example of what is wrong with the modern game.

This is what makes my blood boil. If this is the 2nd and 3rd best teams in the comp, the competition is [censored]. Even St Kilda have played more scintillating footy at times this year.

If we'd shown up, this could easily have been our year of making it all the way. The comp will only be more even and more difficult next year.

Cats fans annoyed about the home crowd advantage here for Tigers, might want to blame the city of geelong for not planning to expand the population to 3 million over the last century :D

Tigers have a big enough lead to hold on here. Must feel sweet for Tigers fans after all this time. Hope it's our turn next!

That was a great individual effort by Bikie Jnr to set that up.

No way, Geelong are one of the only clubs that can kick 4 goals in under 5-10 minutes in a final. They can't do much else though.

Are the tigers that quick? Or are the cats just that slow?

The latter.

I'm saddened that our record of winning a final more recently than Richmond looks set to expire, but credit to them. They've turned themselves around while we continue to wallow in the misery that is Melbourne. We are the new Richmond.

This game shows we need to get more speed through the middle and front half of the ground. Outside of Jeffy we've got bugger all.

Dion Johnstone, and another? Less inside midfielders in the forward line hey. We need players who have natural manic pressure and can do it all year

Dion Johnstone is a long shot to make it at AFL level. Our current 22 lacks speed and skill. It's too heavily weighted towards grunt. The finals matches last night and tonight showed what wins in the modern game. Speed and skill.

We should be making quick outside midfielders and quick half forwards our priority over the off season. We are overly stacked with inside midfielders, and midfield types such as Neal-Bullen and Harmes who float between roles instead of nailing one down.

Jeez Motlop has been awful tonight. Wouldn't bother with him as a Restricted Free Agent.

Tigers have smashed them in the end. What a weird and rubbish match this was. Enjoy the win Tigers fans!

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    MATCH SIM: Friday 7th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    TRAINING: Wednesday 5th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
