Because we got our fitness terribly wrong and teams knew they could outwork us as we were exhausted.

Wrong in what way though THBT??

My gut feel tells me they MIGHT have gone too hard too early (built them up to a mad level of top end fitness) leaving many spent by the time we got to round 12ish.

Goodwin's poor player management in the second half of the season exacerbated this overkill pre-season prepping.

Big emphasis on 'might have' and pure speculation on my behalf.

    Agreed, though it’s infuriating. If Sydney somehow don’t win, then this years premier must be considered extremely weak. Even Geelong are a bog average team away from home at GMHBA. This is excruciating watching this as we know we’ve wasted a year of our window. Our best would absolutely demonlish these two teams. Losing to Brisbane at home last week was one of the worst losses in decades IMO.

    Don’t understand this thinking. This years premiers will be as deserving as anyone. We need to get our heads out of the sand with that view that our best is unbeatable. Well, guess what, we were very beatable this year. Geelong are strangling Brisbane, and I will guarantee you, they will not give Brisbane a sniff from here. Unlike us.

    Lions played their grand final last week. 

    This game is a non-event. Think i'll go to bed

    For a prelim final this game is very poor. 2 sides running around looking like they don't want to get injured. That won't be the case tmmrw evening.

    Another goal from a friggin free to Geelong. Game over. 
    EDIT Hawkins choke.  

    The only way I will credit the sheet the Dee's played in the finals ( mega choke) is that Hawkins wouldn't have kicked any more goals against May than Buddy did.

    Why do Geelong have sequinned shorts on? Are they going to do a cabaret number at half time?

    As predicted Cats to win how they like. They'll either choose to cruise home or smash them by 10 goals, just depends what mood they're in.

    The embarrassing fact isn't fantasies about how bad Geelong and Brisbane are..its how bad the Dee's are for not winning

    Well hopefully Fagan can recreate his magic at half time like last week. 

    But gee watching Geelong they are just free everywhere and watching them kick it into there forward line where they spread and not have 3 talls all jump for it.

    But I fear this game is going to turn boring. I think the queens coffin watching will be more interesting.

    Gives them a run up start against the Pies or Swans who will likely smash each other for four quarters

    Coach Fagan is too decent to be an AFL coach

    Hard not to be disheartened watching this.

    Losing to this Lions side at home. Good lord.

    BT'S analysis hits new lows.." this game could go two ways..

    Geelong goes further ahead or the Lions will come back"

    That's 10 nuffies and counting

    😄 makes a great commander.

    She's still saying how stupid we were playing LJ for the second half of the season.  Reckons it was like giving a pay rise to an employee who's told you they're finishing up at the end of the year.

    Said he wasn't committed to the club and that's how he played on match days.  Should have gotten games into other player/s.

    • 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.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
