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

I sold my soul to the devil for the 21 premiership. It’s my fault. Sorry guys.

We all wanted "Just one."

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?

And so ends my AFL following. 

For the year or for good?


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. 


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.

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].

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
