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

At least we top one list.

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 ?

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
