It’s pathetic, look at my responses twice and other responses, with regards to other clubs in finals and our premiership drought

it’s a stat which means nothing and if you can’t see that well, you’re beyond help

It”s like saying Freo have a better finals record at Optus than Melbourne 

1 final - 1 win

3 finals- 2 wins and a premiership 

Don’t you think it highlights that we’ve still got a way to go to becoming a consistent, ruthless team that contests prelims and grand finals, year after year without fail such as the Hawks in 2012-2015 and Geelong from 2007-2011.

I guess the frustration comes from the media talking us up as a dynasty club that simply needed to roll up to the Gf this year and the flag was ours.

    Good on you for self reflecting that this thread is ultimately about you and your own relationship to what your expectations were.

    I hate to break it to you but we ain’t the Hawks of 13-15 , sure what happened them after 08, missed finals

    Cats of 08 lost 2 games all year, but also had finals heartbreak in 04 and 05 before having a full review after a poor 06

    Forget the media these things are bloody hard to win. We had a good run with injuries last year and not as good this year. I recall how good we were in 98 but the old finals system and a Jeff White injury at the wrong time hurt us in before last year was what I thought was our best chance at a flag

    Clearly this thread was poorly executed by me and served no purpose on reflection. I’ll put my hand up.

    I wouldn’t mind if the moderators locked it.

    BFD. Our premiership drought is now 1 year old.

    Id rather win a premiership one year and the wooden spoon the next, as opposed to winning a final 2 years running but never legitimately challenging for a flag.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
