2019 deserves a run in the Top 10.  Regardless of circumstances, hugely disappointing year after the 2018 Prelim.

After the high of 2018, last season is the most disappointing I can remember followed by 1994. Jeez we were exciting that year, do yourself a favour and get your hands on a copy of ‘Demon Attack’ if you haven’t seen it or need a reminder. 

I wrote this season off after round 1, our poor performances still irritate me but the whole season is ‘meh’ for mine.

1998 deserves a mention...

I mean we do have so many to choose from

2001 ( A Space Odyssey) We didn't even make the Finals....

 

That was a real killer for me...

You know it’s bad when the club is prioritising players misso’s over actual squad members as seen when selecting who travels to the hubs. If I were one of the Wagners I would walk away right now and be livid.

He doesn't know what he's talking about.

That's stock standard Olisik though.

Was said yesterday we were only taking 33 players to the hub so some players could bring there Misso’s instead.

Imagine young Corey Wagner being told ‘sorry mate, Vineys misso took your seat, see you in 5 weeks’.

Abso-[censored]-lutely.

I also think this year is mostly exceptionally poor, because our team, despite the obvious holes, is playing nowhere near its potential.

I personally haven't quite recovered from R23 2017. The year was overall positive, but in terms of disappointments that season is right up there for me.

If I were one of the Wagners, I'd be doing anything I could to not break a contract that was going to set me up in a good direction for my post AFL career in a year or two.

It’s work

Not a holiday Camp

 

2017 made my angry the way we gave up on the year

2019 i was just resigned to it by the end of the season; i'm not angry anymore, just disappointed

2020 i want to see us win but i think we're miles off it so this year doesn't even come close to those two previous years

My concern is not just this year but the next 5-7 years. A lot more pain ahead.......again. 


A telling very poignant game to our future for me was round 23, 2016 when on Roos farewell game against the cats we lost by 111 points. Our performance was even worse than 111 points suggest.  It was like 186 lite revisited for me and an incredibly disrespectful WTF performance that gave me the impression Roos tenure might be a failure, something was still NQR at the club and questioned the character of the playing group and leadership. Further extremely nightmarish  performances to end our 2017 and 2018 season and capitulation of 2019 season is confirming to me we may be a basket case with little hope for the the future. This season is now looking like a right off but if 2021 is just as bad I am prepared to move away from this club and footy in general permanently. Maybe we are a soulless football club that treats supporters like dupes and if we fold I might not care anymore.

It's a fair concern, although we have far more talent on our list than what we did in, say, 2013.

Either Goodwin makes some inroads this season, or hopefully our next coach can do more with what we have.  I think a large chunk of the frustration is that we, as supporters, know we are capable of much better than our current output.  Under Neeld, we knew we were rubbish and we couldn't do much about it.  Now, we can.

I'm hopeful that Goodwin is the man to do it as I like seeing us in a stable position, but if he's not, then someone else gets the chance to do more with this list.

What was wrong with ‘98, we went from last to prelim final? Are you confused?

We should have made the Grand Final that year, but the fixture screwed us by making us play North, while the Crows got the easier game (I think against the Swans) even though we rolled them in the first week of the finals.

I wouldn’t add to the years of disappointment. Plenty more to pick from

Of course not.  I loved that season.  Just making the point re: the finals fixture.

We should have won the Cup. I went to all those finals

Adelaide were gifted that one

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
