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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
