The Run Home

Our run home is looking harder by the day with the Hawks thrashing the Pies, the Blues in top form and Swans not giving up on a finals spot. 

Finish second and we'll have done exceptionally well.

    I think he’s learning on the job. Got some good operators around him and he may still chat with Roos from time to time. I wasn’t a huge fan until the last 6-8 weeks. Thought he was too one dimensional but this year has really changed my thinking. 

    Are you being serious.

    You weren't a fan till the last 6-8 weeks?

    Goody won a bloody flag two seasons back! 

    When did you start supporting the dees? 2022?

    Hahaha, sure but they stuffed up last year and plan B was never his strength. With the list we have Prelims are as low as I’m prepared to go. I didn’t sit through 50 years of garbage to watch us waste a generational list. I reckon Choco had a big part of 21

    C'mon. Choco?

    Wotcha talking about Willis?

    Our most successful coach since norm smith for pete sake.

    The last time we finished top 4 in three consecutive years was 1958-60.

    He stuffed up last year? 

    Waste a generational list?

    I would have thought as a long time dees fans you'd appreciate how hard it is to win a flag.

    We have one. And are likely contenders for several mote years.

    All under goody. 

    Seriously, he deserves more respect.

    You want solid competition going into finals. All are winnable games if we take the right attitude. 
     

    The Blues win over Collingwood was good but there is clearly some fitness questions hovering over them atm - we will see their true form v Saints tomorrow.

    He’s slowly getting my respect. If we only win one Flag with this list he’ll lose it fast

    If Sydney hold on to beat GWS, they will near-certainly be playing for a finals spot in Round 24 (even if they lose to Adelaide in Round 23).

    That game is going to be brutal, I suspect.

    Our run home isn't as easy as some would think - Hawthorn have the same number of wins against the top 4 as every single other member of the top 4, Carlton's won 6 straight and is playing top 4 quality football, and Sydney are peaking at the right time.

    Meanwhile Port is a goal up on Geelong - likely end Geelong's season but reminds us that we are still favourites to finish 4th, not 2nd (and not 1st either).

    I really, really, don't like this argument - when we do well it's Choco (or Yze, or whoever) but when we do poorly it's Goodwin's fault.

    Goodwin's win-loss record is comparable to the best modern day coaches. He's taken a club that had struggled for decades and has produced 6 winning seasons out of 7, including 3 (and soon to be 4) finals appearances, at least 2 prelims, and a premiership.

    If we finish second we’re guaranteed not to travel at all in the finals. Even if we lose week 1.

    Assuming Collingwood finish first.

    No. If we lose a Qualifying and Collingwood lose the other Qualifying then we would still need to travel for the Prelim.

    Can’t take the run home for granted now. 

    As we saw today, even the most lowly of clubs is capable of causing an upset and they all would love to take a big scalp.

    North may have a pick 1, 2 combo in their minds after watching an improved Eagles performance. A wooden spoon strengthens their compensation bid. Call me a pessimist.

    3 weeks ago, second place seemed out of reach. Now it’s very much in play. Jeez this feels a lot like 2021 with everything starting to fall in place at the right time.

    Stoked to be at Blundstone tomorrow now. There’s a lot at stake!

    You'll see the Dees move to second spot live tomorrow. On % from Lions. 

    Enjoy.

    Then its ours to lose.

    I reckon top spot is on too. Macrae looked lost for words in his presser today.

    I knew sides would start to seriously tag Daicos in the back end of the year, and that Collingwood are all or nothing, without nuance to their game, or a plan B. 

    Blue print continues to be clog them up at half back, choke them in the corridor and they have few answers.

    Pressure is not their friend. They are 13th for contested possessions. Adams and De Goey with only 7 clearances between them. Easy to tag Daicos when nobody is feeding the ball to him. 18-3 centre clearances the Hawks way. 
    26-19 stoppage clearances when we played them (minus Clarry). 28-19 stoppage clearances when they played Carlton last week.

    Watching Goody today at training I can say with confidence, that you have no clue.

    Happy to be clueless in your mind. Ask yourself if this time last year as we played injured players and continued to kick it into the pockets if Goodwin was everything you hoped for.

    You're definitely an odd poster mate.

    It's like you've stepped out of a cave in the last 10-15 weeks and realised we're a really good team, with a really good coach, but before that we fluked a flag and then somehow managed to finish 2nd last year.

    • 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.

      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?
