very good question. Needs to pass the baton, but to who.

May? Or Lever?

    Lucky we selected an impact player as the sub FMD seriously what were they thinking. Bringing Hibberd on in the last could've been a shot in the arm, nah let's go with the softest player since Jack Watts who can't provide fresh legs cos he could only really sub in for TMac who was just as pathetic.

    This team are a bunch of chokers, can't win on the big stage. Won off Broadway when we had the crowd numbers because about 30k neutrals jumped on the bandwagon. I am filthy.

    Massive choke. I’m disgusted 

    won’t sleep tonight 

    max tried his heart out. May was magnificent. Rivers did well. Clearance work was good.

    but I question some players mentality. Some appalling decision making. And as for skills? Some of our disposal was atrocious.

    plenty of heart. Can’t fault that. But I’m tired at looking at huff and puff footy. Take the game on sometimes ffs.

    fckn disgusted

    May is a fugging legend.

    Dropping a retiring Hibberd who smashed Jamie Elliot last game will be a huge blight on this club. Simply why. 

    Perhaps because his body's shot and he can't get up to play two games in a row.

    • Demonland changed the title to POSTGAME: SF vs Carlton

    Umpires definitely swung their way in the last quarter, but we've been the better side 2 weeks in a row and still contrived a loss so. angry and frustrated. Definitely deserve the chokers tag.

    I've said it once and I'll say it again. 

    When Burgess walked out, it wasn't just our fitness but a whole lot of professionalism that left too.

    Goodwin is too close to this group. Too much warm fuzzy culture and complete neglect to the forward half.

    He has completely coached the attacking nouse, system and instinct out of this team with his stupid squeeze em up strategy. We squeeze ourselves up. We can't transition to save ourselves.

     

     

    Yep, you win for stupidest post of the year.

    On a dry deck FMD 🤦🏻‍♂️

    There was a guy with a mop and bucket in the centre square at 3/4 time mopping with water and whatever else in the water. Then two of our players slipped over where he’d been mopping!

    Along with recruiting some forwards, we need to recruit a good PSYCHIATRIST to sort out the heads of these guys.

    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.

    West Coast smashed the 2018 finals series without Nic Nat, Gaff and Sheppard. You can be successful despite a few injuries to the integral part of your best 22.

    Not buying that at all. It's a final and of course he was going to be right.

    If that’s true then say he is out “managed” and not “omitted”.

    God we have some [censored] on this site.

    Injuries, umpiring, suspensions, and kicking for goal cost us big time.

    you just have position yourself and hope it goes your way when it counts. 

    it didn’t.

    if you people think these guys didn’t give all they have just look at the reaction after the game.

    geelong was I this position for ten years between 2011 and 2022.

    it really hurts because it felt like we had a massive chance this year - perhaps more than any other in my lifetime (57 years).

    just got to get there again next year.

    Get some new assistant coaches around goody. We need to freshen things up because we’re as stale as last weeks bread.

    And the Dogs won the 2016 flag with half the team out. We weren't short of players we were short of smarts

    I’m utterly deflated. 

    I love this club. I love being at the ground. I love following us week to week. So I hate that we’re not going to be there on prelim final weekend, again, when we should be. 

    It’s not one issue. Too many things went wrong. Some were in our control - as everyone has said, the TMac/Schache situation was a debacle. TMac was terrible all night, it’s unfathomable that we didn’t sub him. The goal kicking, the ill-discipline, the fumbles, the botched passed. Some were out of our control - the absence of Petty, JVR, Melksham and Brayshaw, the umpiring, Carlton continually kicking crucial shots. 

    Too much went wrong over the last 6 weeks. So the first 22 weeks of the H&A season is for nought. 

    Our depth isn’t good enough. Our foot skills aren’t good enough. Our forward half play isn’t good enough. 

    But at least we give ourselves the chance to compete. I’m sure at some point I’ll reflect on that positively.

    They did it in 2018.

    They should have done it this year too.

    May and Sparrow were huge in the last quarter

    Blues knew that if they shut down Fritter our forward line was rooted

    Can Tmac please, please retire? Please?

    Would love to go back over the past 10 years of post, it is the same story we tried hard but just don't have the foot skills.

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
