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].

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
