    To be honest, such is my disdain from our effort throughout the entirety of 2019, i'm really going to enjoy the absence of AFL for these next 6 months.

    That was a year that felt as long as 2013. One good win against the swans at the scg when I thought... ok, now we can start. We didn’t. One good qtr against the bombers when I thought...ok now they’re clicking. We never did. One stupidly close win by a point in the final second... but that didn’t really count as a good feeling because it was against the bottom side who lost 19 games straight. Shocking run with  Injuries then more injuries... then a backline formation, game style, that made us look like amateurs. Then injured players re injuring themselves because we played them too soon. Continual and systemically Horrible kicking for goal that regularity cost us games and a miss after the siren as if to just add salt into bitter wounds. 2019 can just [censored] off fast.

    Will never forget sitting in a hotel bar with a colleague watching the Melbourne vs Adelaide game.

    We're 30 points up and looking ominous. I turned to him and said, "They will break my heart tonight." You could smell it.

    That loss was the end of the season for me.

    Got the poor ending it deserved i suppose. The year's high was Jordan Lewis kicking a soccer goal on the goal-line after bodying his opponent and Preuss kicking 2 out of the ruck against Sydney. And the GWS win over Brisbane & Collingwood.

    Tough loss to the Eagles today but at last it looks like we’re a professional outfit and won’t drop our bundle one season after making a prelim. Bring on 2019, at least we should definitely make the finals two years running. Go Dee’s!!

    Cheer up everyone! The stores are full of Christmas goodies and Christmas trees, as well as hot cross buns. Nearly three months of Xmas carols to look forward to. Then we have daylight saving next week. So much to love. NOT.?

    A terribly disappointing and frustrating year.

    I remember 1997, 1999, 2001, 2003, 2007,2008, 2009, 2011, 2012 and 2013.

    2017 was pretty disappointing too just missing out on the finals.

    I hope the Demons players and coaching staff are determined to make amends  in 2020.

    Otherwise more heads will roll...

     

    This year's Melbourne Football Club AGM will certainly be interesting with lots of angry Melbourne supporters.

     

    However, we need to discuss effective solutions to fix this mess.

    I am so sick of seeing other teams winning the premiership. 

    Be nice before I’m dead to see one just one ffs.

    The only positive I saw in 2019 is that we got rid of Darwin.

    Hopefully 2020 sees no trip to any of Launceston, Hobart or Kardinia Park but methinks we will as usual see two out of three.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
