I'm still watching that replay time after time.  but I only have parts of the 2nd half recorded. ?

I thought our play in the second quarter was simply superb. and didn't kick a goal !! possible our best 'general play' quarter for the year.

    I watched it all yesterday afternoon. Geelong missed some sitters and the free kick against Selwood when Hawkins was shooting for goal muffled their chances. Had we kicked straight it would have been game over. I'm not sorry Tyson is gone, he was tres ordinaires. Weidemann was not very useful as a second ruckman and he'll need to get involved a bit more as he has a tendency to sit outside the action, a criticism a friend who has watched Weidemann since he was a junior made as well. What I liked was the grunt, the skill, especially Tom McDonald's marking in the first half, and the relentless attack on the ball.

    Weids had 24 touches in that game. Not bad for a key forward!

    He could have had more. I'm not complaining, just noting when he gets his confidence mojo and senses that he REALLY belongs, he will take teams apart.

    Geez we’re quick to bag out Hogan just because he’s not one of ours anymore.

    If he didn’t play Brisbane in rd 2, we lose that game pure and simple. They were going to run over the top of us, but Hogan (and Garlett) bailed us out of that potential disaster.

    In that parallel universe, we would’ve finished 8th, played Sydney at the SCG in an elimination final  and who knows if we would’ve gotten past them at a tougher venue.

    Hogan will be a fine player for Freo and has far more runs on the board than Weideman after their respective first 3 seasons of AFL.

    Far more runs? After 3 years from drafting both 20 games, yes Hogan's figures are better in many areas but not all.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.
