    Highs-
    Winning 10 on the trot to start the year even though we appeared to be running purely on Adrenaline.

    Getting to see the boys live in Alice and seeing Kozzie light the place up with 6 goals against Port.

    Our huge wins against Dockers and Lions on their home turf when we were playing for a top 4 spot.

    As mentioned by Spirit the win against Carlton and that goal by Kozzie.

    Lows-

    The three losses in a row and wondering why the wheels had finally fallen off.

    The second Collingwood loss was such a hard fought and bitter loss.

    The two finals defeats and trudging back to the car in the muddy MCG car park knowing that our boys had fought valiantly but in the end had run out of legs and that we had lost that superhuman competitive edge.

    Luke Jackson pulling the pin on our magnificent Football Club and that really hurt more than when Hogan deserted us.

    You hit every nail directly on the head. All I was thinking, you wrote. Signing a few of our big guns was a highlight for me as well.  Bring in 2023.

    Coming to Melbourne to watch the opening game v the Dogs, watching the flag be presented and raised and taking the win.

    Can't believe noone has mentioned the flag raising yet!!

    Yeah, yeah, Naarm. (I’m learning to talk like an Aussie after being out of the country for 25 of the last 30 years.)

    The AFLW season and premiership was the highlight for me in 2022.

    The way they played and the spirit they played with I found really engaging.

    Absolutely spot on.

    To beat Freo and Brisbane away in such comprehensive fashion gives us hope that we can rebound back to our 2021 form in which we were almost unbeatable against the best sides.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
