    Listen to the other coaches post-season reviews and your head will probably feel just as bad.

    He kind of hit the nail on the head, we need to keep improving. we tried to run the 2021 playbook back and refused to budge, and while there were other factors as well, we need to keep evolving to continue to push for more premierships. 

    i'd imagine in 2023 we will be more daring with our ball movement, look to tidy up our defensive structure to hold up better against teams who run the ball at us, and overall look to get the forward line functioning in a more healthy fashion

    Nothing wrong with the defence if the forwards hs it in AND kick goals.

    Thete is only so much the defence can do before they are overruns should have won the Brownlow except in a fsir world Petty would have taken votes of him.

    Salem and Rivers below potential, add Bowie and there is a clear need for a bigger body.

    Otherwise it's ok

    It's not post season it's post game and nothing changes.

    Listen to Scott,Flea or Horse,even Hardwick and Fagan..they actually engage with the question

    Learnings or Leanings? Or  just plain taught a Lesson. On repeat seemingly through a fair bit of the second half of the season.

    Given the flaws which manifested we were never truly ‘blown away’. Which suggests if those at the tiller make the right calls and positively address the chinks in the Demon armour. The team can re-energise in the next campaign and renew it’s assault on the competition summit. But as others have already mentioned the successful game plan and personnel of 2021 require a fairly substantial re-think and re-fit. 

    Congratulations to Geelong and Chris Scott, the old adage ‘try try again to you succeed’ applies. An injection of youth, a renewed game plan, boosting the collective self-belief and modicum of luck etc have paid off big time.

    Therein is the model for the way forward,  change and adapt or risk irrelevance. Ideally from the the president and board, football department, recruitment, fitness and conditioning,  coaches and players, right down to the humble  bootstudder.

     Given our recent rise from football obscurity. The club now has a wealth of resources, people, experience and talent. To get it right and get back on course.

    There is only so much any defence can do before they are overrun if it keeps coming back at them.

    May should have won the Brownlow except in a fair world Petty would have taken votes off him.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Collingwood

      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?
