Ours is probably poor because we don’t really get a Bye.

2013/14/15/16 we were so bad we wouldn't have beaten this years West Coast. Since then we have gone 4 wins one loss " Port in 2018 by 10 points in SA" 2020 they was no real bye, we had one game postponed to later in the season. These type of record are often messed up by how bad or well team are traveling at the time. The one that stands out is how bad Geelong play post bye for a team that plays finals most years.

    Interesting that no one is dominant post the bye. Wonder what the reason for that is?

    Would say it is a slowness to get going again and you can be jumped by a team more locked in who played last week.

    In fairness to the AFL we did get a proper bye in 2020.

    The only problem was that it occurred after our second game of the season.

    Top 3 best post bye performances since 2013:

    1) 2022 - 64 point win over Brisbane at the MCG. One of the more complete post flag performances after a mid season slump, on the Thursday night stage. Jackson showed what a dominant first ruck he is. 

    2) 2017 - 3  point win over West Coast at Subi - The famous T Mac winner. Viney's best ever game with 28 and 3 votes.

    3) 2019 - 14 point win over Freo at the G. A rare highlight in a dismal 2019 season. T Mac was the difference with 3 goals and 3 votes.

    Essendon, 2021, was the other win.

    Worst 3 post bye performances:

    1) 2015 - 54 point loss to West Coast in Darwin. Disastrous last quarter after hanging around at 3 qtr time.

    2) 2013 - 35 point loss to St Kilda at the MCG - First game under Craig. Given it was one of our better performances of that horrid year, it pretty much tells you what a disaster of a year it was.

    3) 2016 - 22 point loss to Adelaide at MCG. An entertaining high scoring game but we couldn't go with them in the last quarter. The last time we have played Adelaide at the MCG.

    On reflection most of our losses post bye have been very respectable performances (Port in 2014 in Alice and 2018 AO, Geelong in round 4 2020)

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
