Even if we finished in a ladder position to 'negotiate', we wouldn't have a true choice.  We'd nominate our preference and the the AFL would give us the slops and schedule the game at the worst possible time and venue for us.

We would be the team that finished on top of the Eagles but still had to go play them in Perth. Fly in Fly out mind you.

Its such a waste of a year.. there are the obvious losses to Sydney and Freo, who are not a bad side, but losses to Geelong by 3 points and the Lions by 4 points were probably the games that have cost us a finals spot. 

The club needs to get really aggressive in the offseason, lose the dead weight, reinvigorate with some youth and a couple of good players. If they want to be a ruthless club, they go and make things happen.

That’s ridiculous really. Gabba will be preferred by the Vic clubs.
Week 1 should see 

Power v cats - Adelaide Oval  Thurs night 7:10 CST 7:40AEST

Lions v Tigers - Gabba  Fri night 7:40AEST

Eagles v Dogs / Demons - Optus Stadium  Sat afternoon 4.30AEST  2.30WST

Pies v Saints - Gabba - Sat night 7:40AEST

Hard to see it as a waste of a year, when we finished 17th in 2019 and will most likely finish 8-10th in the cluster [censored] that is 2020.
How much inconsistency did we come into this year with?

Players that didn't/hardly played for MFC in 2019.

May
Tomlinson
Langdon
J. Smith
Brown
Jackson
Rivers
Pickett
Bennell
Vanders
Sparrow

Now how many of those have become a mainstay in this years team?
You turn all of those players into regular players and expect miracles?

Every AFL premiership side in... as long as I can remember. Have had one ingredient more obvious than any other, cohesion. The spine of the team have played between 50-100 games together. You can't keep chopping and changing and then expect results, doesn't happen that way.

Since the best we can do is finish 8th, we wouldn't get a home final so it's a moot point.

Anyway you look at it its been a waste, lost games we should have won, will very likely miss finals spot, wasted a year of Max Gawn dominance, Petracca having a career year and not capitalising losing members, member unrest more negative press than positive, Presidents getting involved, Coach on teh nose.. all could have been avoided had we not been the mentally week club that we are.

How you can frame it any other way im not sure.

Absolutely none of that correlates to the unintelligent line 'wasted year'. 

You clearly prefer to look at things through a pessimistic glass, not a realistic one.

Mate The aim by all at the club was finals not bottom 8 thats realistic

That's called a goal, not a perspective.

No it’s not a waste, but it is a Failed year

We as a Club have to suck it up AND LEARN FROM IT, rather than walking away from it and/or blaming injuries

  • 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.

  • 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.
