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?

    • 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.
