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.

    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.

    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].

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
