What a season this has been. Topsies and Turvies, periods where bottom sides have seriously challenged Top sides, the many close calls, the many askew outcomes.

Looking at the Demons until Round 22, the biggest losing margin was against Essendon in Round 5 - 27 points, the second worst 15 points against Geelong at the Fortified Monte Cassino once called Kardinia park where I was called for chucking in a Sub District Seconds match in 1967, the others by less than 11 points.

The sides which have beaten us by less than a goal include Carlton and GWS when we scored 5.15 and Port Adelaide in the rain in their home fixture.

We have played side which have played exceptionally well on their days - Sunday's game against the Hawks was such a game - but we have managed to hold on and 'Overcome'. 

By the way, it seems to me that the Hawks are not far away from rapid rise up the ladder.

I'm glad Geelong have been found out as a bunch of Geriatrics who got very lucky in 2022.

We'll see what happens in Sydney on Sunday. Bring on David Schwartz...

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
