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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
