Bit of a fluff piece, no real insights

    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.

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

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • 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.
