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.

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.

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.

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
