Classic stuff, we are 1 of 2 clubs to be beaten after the siren by a former player. At least it was The Wiz.

I think we top another, longest time since last flag for current year.

Does T Mac's fumble and bumble against Gold Coast last year count? That was close enough to after the siren.

That one felt like a loss.

Was at that game and could see Neiter lining him up ready to lay a bone crunching tackle. Was right behind the goal at the City end and Wiz's kick off the boot was offline but veered left and sailed through.

Trent Croad played one good game for Freo and this was it he kicked 7

They really love delving deep into the stats these days.

I can't wait for us to win the 'worst water pressure in the showers after the game' gong in a few months time.

I have a feeling we're not going to like the results of this.

I walked out of that game livid despite actually getting 4 points.

I should've been doing cartwheels considering we'd go on to win a whopping 2 of the next 14 games.

This stat doesn’t surprise me at all. 
 

It should also be a $50 fine to anyone who even mouths the scenario of Jack Watts kicking one after the siren to beat us even if just a joke.

1987 - managed to lose to North Melbourne during the season when Alistair Clarkson, in his first season kicked the winner after the siren.  Then the one no Demon will ever forget - the Prelim final.

When Clarkson kicked that goal, the roar in the old Southern Stand at the G was deafening. Loudest roar I have ever heard. Will never forget.

And yes, the Prelim brought us all to tears.

It was nip and tuck all game Pennant. I remember the game shouldn’t have gotten to that point. Stephen Powell had a shocking miss late in the game. From memory it would have put us by a couple of kicks but he rushed the shot from 20m out and I think he missed the lot.

For those that can see past the pay wall, how many times have we had the opportunity to win it after the siren? I'm sure it hasn't happened in the entire time I've followed the Dees, though we've had some close ones like with Maxy in 2018 ?.

It doesn’t actually say how many times we’ve had the opportunity Pates. I can only think of 2. The game you speak of, where Hunt had a shot from about 70 out and the Weid miss last year as Fork ‘em mentions above.

I can't remember Hunt's shot, I'd actually blocked out Weid's miss last year (though like Max not after the siren). Sam's miss there just typified how putrid and depressing our season really was.

Even though there was only 17,108 in attendance?

Must have been all North supporters and all in the top tier of the Southern Stand ?

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
