We’ll finish next year top 4 again and with any luck injury wise we’ll be a real chance again. Having no consistent forward structure is always going to be a big ask in September. We win everywhere else.  
 

I love following the Dee’s while we finish top 4 year after year, I’ll take this over the neeld era any day. Catch ya next year DL

    May was massive. Sparrow in the last, very good. A wise man once told me never to email (but I’m going to apply to it posting in this case), when angry, upset or otherwise emotional, so I’m going to leave it at that. I’ll be back. 

    💯 May and sparrow where massive in the last 10 minutes.

    Is Goodwin going to say the score takes care of itself if we do the basics?

    What about the basic skill of kicking straight between the posts?

    Seriously here are some challenged people on this site...

    The team was undermanned and gave it everything...if you can't see that you know nothing.

    Signing off for AFL season 2023.

    Just now, I think OF Demons said:

    We were robbed, and we robbed ourselves with poor kicking. Too many Outs and a combined losing margin of 8 points across 2 finals games... we are a great side with bad luck this year.

    What can you do?

    Poor kicking isn't bad luck.

    Letting blues waltz out every centre bounce was a disgrace.

    Poor coaching with no subbing doesn't help.

    Wasn't confident coming in and then was calm mid-way through the last quarter. Then we couldn't finish it. Almost predictable they would kick the last goal to win. Our leaders, MAy aside, couldn't show the way.

    Four finals losses in a row. This year it was simply poor execution.

    Our best were the unsung heroes. Spargo, Smith, Sparrow, etc

    This Is why we’re not a big club and we’re not taken seriously and we don’t draw big crowds. 

    We can’t be trusted. 

    Bunch of chokers. 

    Fancy handing a prelim to the blues on a freaking platter. 

     So 96,000 is not a big crowd?

    Cannot agree. MacDonald wasn't working. Schache should have had a run 30 minutes earlier

    ...and done what exactly, the bloke [censored] himself at every turn. Absolute bottom of the barrel with those two at TMc stage of his career and Schache, well forever!!

    Unfortunately we have a culture of choking when it really matters. Whatever they were drinking in the hub in 2021 created a short term antidote, clearly....

    Straight Sets Simon has wasted yet another year through poor list management and team selection.

    Schache the sub and wasn’t even used, while we had ruck contests with no one going up and Grundy in the stands.

    Gawn totally exposed their backline with his marking when he was forward, we could have had a lot more of that with Grundy in the team.

    This is the least surprising result, lost at team selection yet again.

    Yep, I have to agree

    Wtf were they thinking?

    Ridiculous comments re Goodwin, and all the coaches for that matter. The team they put out there had the tools to win ... but the players couldn't execute.

    How many times is Goodwin going to lose important games at selection. 

    Don't help if ya players are choking in front of goal.

    That's the problem with AFL and most sports in general - the entire 24 round H&A season counts for nothing when you can't execute in big games. 7.11 (+7 total misses) and 9.17 just won't it. That's the dictionary definition of a choke. Twice.

    We were never beating Geelong last year nor Brisbane this, but it still [censored] sucks not to even get a chance. 

    The wins will be meaningless next year from March-August. Chokers tag well and truly on and we'll be a laughing stock over summer. Time to delete Twitter and stay away from footy talk as much as possible for six months I reckon. Last time I did that was 2017.

    May was massive and probably has another hurrah or two left in him. But we're running out of time. He's nearly 32 and still our MVP.

    In hindsight Petty going down injured can't be underestimated. TMac was beyond useless in both finals and Schache wasn't even trusted enough to go on the ground. 

    [censored] [censored] [censored].

    • 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?
