Well it gives us more time to get ready for next year.   

The fwd line needs a major shakeup up.  Poor selection this week after last week.  Except for a few, there wasn't the desparation needed to win a final.   Hopefully trac didn't do any more damage.

called it pre game. Put Petty forward for the extra tall. Moved down when game nearly lost.

 

Selwyn Griffith should probably start looking for a new job.

Our last quarters this year have been absolutely deplorable.

Teams have known they can run over us, and have done so.

 

Also, why bother switching up positions with 5 minutes to go if you've been stubborn up to that point, even at selection?

The worse part of this whole business was we ABSOLUTELY SH*T OURSELVES under pressure tonight.

Was going to start naming names of those who had severely embarassing moments - but it was almost the entire team.

That was a disgusting, limp wristed way to exit the year. 

Some seriously hard decisions need to be made about the makeup of this team.  

Good riddance to 2022.


 If they keep kicking to the pockets next year I'll Spew Up!

 

We choked

We need Burgo back

We need a CHF

We need to draft well again once Jackson leaves

Failure of a season.

Every single loss was the same where we get out to a lead of around 20 to 30 points and then get complacent and stop trying to win.

No imagination with team selection or style.

Half the team in on reputation while Casey had an all-time great saeason.

Yep story of our season 4-5 goal leads evaporate in a blink of an eye and we can't run out the last qtr our make dumb errors when it matters

Speechless.

I’ve not seen us looked that gassed before. We had nothing left to give.

You clearly haven't been watching the last 14 games because we've been overrun in most of them. Your BS loading theory is thankfully dead.

That was not lost by game plan or selection or coaching. That was lost through atrocious kicking (again), poor decision making in close (again), and 2 x 50m penalties (again).

What a wasted season.

What a waste of a year.

We have the talent but I fear we came into the year with some complacency, and refused to learn anything from our losses.

We lost pretty much every single game the same way, and nobody did anything about it. Same kicks to the pocket, long bombs etc. Predictable and boring.

No dynasty for this team, that's just talk Maxy. You have got to earn that with grit, every single game.

We need some forwards, hunger and try to catch up other teams who will also want to be dynasties.

Ugh. Lame way to end the year.

If Jackson leaves we might be better off.  How can you be a third year AFL player who can’t take a one grab mark? He might as well take Rivers with him. Bowey is far better. 

Last year was our only flag with this group if Goodwin stays as coach. He just isn't up to it. The only way we contend next year is to significantly change our gameplan.

We always needed two tall key defenders. Without the likes of Joel Smith or even Turner, Petty always had to fill that role.

Also, I bet that if it had been Petty instead of Lever in that last bizarre play it wouldn't have cost us a goal. Swings and roundabouts. But can see Ben Brown playing out his contract at Casey.


Petty our only forward that could take a mark. Poor team selection should of rolled the dice with a tall forward 

Sadly, our second half of the year has to be seen as a massive capitulation, and that game was the perfect capper. A team we smacked twice this year, badly undermanned, and they made us look like utter amateurs in that second half. Can’t win at our home ground, get easily rolled in our second halves, and when oppositions come hard with the pressure, we go belly up, retreating into our slow methodical attacking strategy with a massive attack of the panics down back. None of the fast, rolling waves of possession, just fumbly, horrible rubbish that gets easily turned over. Dunno how it happened, but it’s absolutely there for all to see. Shattered for the boys, cos I reckon they’ve got no idea how it happened either. Here’s the other thing, and I’ll definitely sound like a smartarse saying it, but HARRY PETTY IS A FORWARD. I’ve been saying it for 4 years. You don’t waste great marking competitive beasts like him down back. Next year, peeps! 

Well river water it is. Why the hell were we  playing an obviously injured Petracca  and what were we saving Tmac for probably can't even play for Casey now. This is a return to the bad old days God delivers us. I am fairly certain that is my last night game. Too old, it is too cold and can hardly walk back to the station. 

 

 

 

 

Amazing to think 2018 was more successful year then 2022.

I do not want to hear Goodwin or the club come out with the Geelong excuse from last year about injuries or illnesses.

They are reasons but not excuses. For 2 weeks we have given up a lead

  • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

    The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

    It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

    The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

    The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
