And our game plan has achieved exactly what it can. It demolished inept opposition...and stalls against anyone knowing what they are doing. 

Footballs equivalent of the Peter principle...in a fashion.

    In essence I totally agree with you 

    This is why I wanted Sloane,,, and to ADD to our 26 & 27Yr olds this year...   as they lead our kids to higher standards.

     

    We are not what we think we are. 

    Bottled supporter bathwater again, being overly Optimistic;,,,   then the switch turns,  and we go full lock Pessimistic.

     

    The truth is in the, 'in-between'.

    This is the bit that worries me the most. 

    Where is the tinkering and adjustments?

    seems to me we play pretty much the same way each week against different opponents....

    Yeah I was referring to you in the ("yawn") bit...

    Just 2 kicks going the other way and we'd be sitting 2nd on the ladder playing to set up a home QF this week. :cool:

    ....and 3 days ago we were in the 8 'by default'; which was a pathetic call.

    It really is swings and roundabouts - if the two games against Geelong went the other way the Cats are sitting 12th and missing finals after overachieving the last 2 season's and topping up with Ablett to have a tilt with Dangerfield in his prime and Selwood on the downward curve. Does Scott still get a 4 year extension if that's the case?

    My wife is a cats supporter so I see a lot of their games. A lot of cats supporters are not overly enamored with Scott.

    Geelong has recruited better than any other team IMO in the past 12 months.  Their mature aged recruits (Rata..., Kelly), really surprised us round 1.  Jack Henry is a multi-dimensional tall that should go close to rising star.  I know Scott doesn't necessarily 'recruit' and that is Wells' job, but Scott has done really well to keep Geelong from bottoming out.  Don't forget he was there at Freo during their resurgence for memory.  Opposition coaches rate Scott.  Whether they won or lost the close games this year, it is immaterial.  Only nervous MFC supporters and Lyon get dictated by results, rather than fundamentals.  Look at Roos on OTC last week.  He wasn't panicking like the rest of the pack. 

    Having said that, we will pump them in round 1 of the finals IMO.  See how Ablett and co. don't run defensively from congestion on the OTC footage tonight?

    I don't disagree but they would be feeling the heat from supporters who thought Ablett might be the difference between 3rd and a flag.

    I get to most Cats games, family is surrounded with Cats supporters. Most supporters are outraged by his 4 year extension and many wanted him gone, or at least wait until the end of his contract to see next year. Has crumbled in finals, inherited his list from Bomber and tried to top up every year. Tried to buy a flag with Danger, who cant hit the side of a shed and has held on to many injury prone players and dead wood while they don't have a lot of top end junior talent.

    I think he's quite overrated as a coach, who was blessed with a core bunch from their glory days. Not to mention he's an arrogant pig. This season has been a failure for them "so far" with that midfield. He'd want to get them close this year and not hanging on to the 8 next year or their will be a riot at Kardinia Park, you hear it in the crowd during games.

    All supporters see is they have only won 3 of their last 11 finals, not good enough with that list.

    Goody has said all season that it only matters where you are at the end of Round 23.  He has shown so much patience and faith in the team.

    He looks like a genius now compared to media clowns like Terry Wallet.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
