The Demons made their forced annual trek down the Princes Freeway to the Cattery and were well placed for victory going into the last quarter only to blow the lead eventually going down by 15 points and losing touch with the Top 2.

The biggest challenge of Tim Lamb's list management career coming up - finding a club that will take on Angus Brayshaw's contract

Disgraceful performance after a week off. Geelong even lost their best player a few minutes into the game. Fritsch will be suspended for next week too.

Petracca nailing his hardest shot for the night once the game was killed sums him up.

Inconsequential game for us but that was really hard to watch

Geez that was disappointing .

We are better than that.

Sadly was there to be won..

Some poor entries fwd.

Petty not ready.

Max a bad night.

Anb and Chandler ditto.

Ouch.

I'd like to personally apologise to the good people who made the trip down, gonna be a tough trip back after that.

I'm finally giving in on the game plan... sloppy lack of skills and no forward structure makes it impossible to execute

Lol

I have no idea why I come on here during losses… some of the negativity is so over the top. Incredible.

Putrid 1Q and 4Q though. But the 4Q is all about us pressing too high and fumbling/losing contests when we’re all goal side. To say the cats blew us away is to suggest it’s because they were so dynamic, it was all our positioning and skill in dangerous areas.

Agree on ANB. Just grab the ball man.. so frustrating.

Shocker from Gawn

What for?

Have we ever won after a Bye?

We should probably turn the sprinklers on at training and practice our skills in the wet.

We've kicked 14.33 in our last two games.

we haven’t given up such a run of goals fr a long time. pretty disappointing. 

Lost a scrappy dog fight. 

Not usually one to pot ANB but his fumble was a real sliding doors moment. 

The most disappointing thing for me was the start of the last quarter. Everyone knew their season was on the line at 3/4 time and for us to come out flat footed and allow them to monster us and get the first two goals was very poor. That got their crowd going and the rest is history, once momentum starts it’s hard to stop. 

Dominated territory but so much dumb football. Forward line a hot mess. Again. 

No words for how badly we performed tonight. 
Cats without Dangerfield and Guthrie and lose Cameron in the first few minutes, and we just go on to play some of the dumbest, softest football we’ve dished up all year. 

We absolutely should not have dropped Tomlinson for Petty who was totally underdone. We needed someone to drag Stewart away from the contest, but instead we went too small and nobody was able to stop him intercepting. 

Spargo was a terrible choice of sub, not to mention that subbing him off for Jordon was just idiotic. 

Infuriating garbage. 

Embarrassing performance.

Lazy, dry weather footy. 

Really disappointing finish after looking the better team 2nd and 3rd qtrs.

So many players MIA but WTF is up with Max! Worst game in years 

Really disappointing to come off a 10 day break and get run over by a middle of the ladder team coming off a 6 day break. Came out completely limp in q4. 

Towelled by Rohan - embarrassing

We cant just pick and choose when we are going to turn up to games. Such a frustrating club to follow. 

And finally, goals win matches. 

Blah
