Saw our game in Perth in round 9. We put in a good show for over half the game but as you say when WC went up a gear it was all just too hard for us. We more already less gave up the season then and there,  That game summed up our whole shocker of a season.

Might have helped if Goodwin reviewed the preliminary and gave them some direction.

Might have helped if Goody had tried to implement a Power style approach on the day, beautifuly executed only a few weeks before for an unexpected win.

Anyways ....2020 awaits

    Such irony. GF’s we aern’t Playing in

    GF’s At The MCG, and that doesn’t bother you.

    In fact you ridicule those who show disdain for it

    It would take a dull brain to not see what it takes to win a flag and not compare where we are to where we need to get to. Each to there own though, ignorance and denial helps some sooth the pain.

    you miss the point....not surprising

    it's the boring, repetitious, masochistic, humourless, unoriginal drivel i'm sick of

    either come up with something original or a least with some humour or cease trolling

    upto you (and your mates)

    They’ll drop back down some day, it’ll be a spectacle seeing how their supporters act when it happens. Microwave sales will go through the roof.

    Dusty put in a stellar last quarter to clinch the medal but the kid gets in the picture.

    What a debut and he was very influential.  His disposal skills and decision making seemed to inspire his veteran teammates.

    It was as if they didn't want to be shown up.

    The Pickett debut is one hell of a story.

    people here say "brand" and "culture" doesn't mean anything. tell that to Hardwick. Rebranded this team, new coaching team, brought everyone together. 

    Who ever said that brand (ie game style) and culture don't mean anything?

    Goodwin banged on about brand all last year and I, and many others, bang on about game style all the time.

    Such a condescending poster at times, mate.

    Brand is a marketing term, and meaningless, culture is another thing all together and we do not have it  Hardwick is a balanced person, Goody not so much.

    Problem with AFL over last few years the final has been a blow out. Boring to watch and unfortunately most switched of half way through the third. 

    Unfortunately this game has no more growth as much as they push the life out of it in non footy states.

    If you get cornered by any Tigres supporters, just tell em that was the most boring Grand Final ever.........then tell em again when they start whinging.......

    Just tell them that they've only just levelled us for flags. Get back to us when they surpass us. (yes, I know, that could happen next year)

    The WAFL is a gold mine for indigenous talent. 

    Staggering that we haven't drafted a player from WA since Hogan in 2012. Who is our WA scout? Does anyone know?

    That said, we haven't had a first rounder pick since 2015 when we landed Oliver (and to a lesser extent, Weideman).

    And fair enough too.  If playing in a GF victory is one way of gaining club life membership,  it's been a while between drinks prior to 2017 for the Tigers.

    How many players have actually played in a GF victory in the history of the sport over 160+ years?  Maybe 1700 factoring in those who played in multiple flag winning sides.

    No sour grapes from me either.  To the victors go the spoils.  And Richmond are the benchmark. 

    And if they can do it,  we can do it.  I'm a forever optimist with regards to the future.

    But you don’t need an early pick, think Ryan, Pickett, Kelly, Stack.....all overlooked in drafts

    Good to catch up today, @Return to Glory

    With Burgess on board, top 4 next year, mate. You gotta believe!

    Enjoy Tokyo. If you can, visit an old haunt of mine, Inokashira Park. A welcome oasis in the concrete jungle.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
