Freo's running ability, pressure and skill levels are eons ahead of ours in this match

Where's the pride?

A good team comes out and wins the last quarter. 
We look like we’ve come out with all the enthusiasm of a contestant in a children’s pageant.

The Jackson goal in that quarter, I can’t remember that style of goal happening in the Goodwin era. Witches hats. Used to see it every quarter in the dark days. This is as bad as it gets. I’m sure olisik’s and poita’s fingers are warm. 

This has so much "Neeld feel" about it.

Remember when you're highlight of a game was a good chase down tackle?

When you just had to be happy to watch a young bloke like Windsor bust his guts?

I've really got the Needs nostalgia going here 

It's like a Trainwreck and I just can't seem to turn the tv off.

It annoys me that our injury list isnt too bad compared to other clubs yet we still cant manage to field a team that wants to compete.

Cus we have a bye coming up, and to have a better set of legs come September! 
 

This is hilarious reading the mania.. it’s genuinely cheered me up — knowing how silly supporters get (me inc many times I’m sure in the past) from one game! If you can’t see there’s something desp right about one side and wrong with the other then you’re either blind or delirious.. 

 

Lets see how many of these same names bob-back-up in a few wks saying “it was the turning point” or it was “an outlier” result.. 

Sure, I may be 💯 wrong but this team right here has proven over and over they’re made of the right stuff and jumping-off to me seems to be the antithesis of an erudite Demon fan.

Its awful, my 10yr old footy nut daughter — who is someone that lives and breathes footy (playing/supporting) is an absolute mess right now as she’s never seen this, has no reference for it at ALL.. So I’ll be dammed if I’m gonna encourage her to be a fire-weather supporter! Not saying anyone here is, but I’m saying we have a choice to go we react & im choosing to trust this group as that’s what their history has proven!

Mate, with all due respect.

What has this team shown you since the start of the season to have any hopes that they can even win a final?

Wasn't it enough to see us smashed by Sydney, Brisbane, Carlton and West Coast? Now Fremantle...

Please let me know what you are taking, cause right now I need an overdose of that.

Too muxh to ask Judd McVee to just provide a body on Walters?

Has absolutely cleaned him up today.

Completely beaten.

So many kicks and handballs falling short of the target it is comical. Turnovers or lost contests everywhere and then holes all over the place for the opposition to come through.

I've not seen us that flustered and all-round ineffective in four years.

Clearly at the moment we are wildly up and down each week and the up isn't as up as the down is down.

For all that the result has been just about decided already, this second half is an important one for the mentality of the club.

3 of our worst games since Goodwin started have been this season, today, lions and wc, mix in a number of slow starts that point to issues. I’ve said all year we aren’t a contender we need to at least make something of the remaining season and learn who on the list will take us fwd, no point putting more games into petty, mcadam billings, hunter. Oliver also needs to be spelled and get his body right and if not traded out for what we can get

Gotta say... love the posivity..especially on a day we're  positively rubbish.

But... some of what you suggest has foundation...  unfortunately I think there's  'trouble at mill'

The only bouncing back from this game will be of the dead cat variety.

Much needs doing.  But that only creates more questions in my thinking.

No, no, you’re wrong there. I was at that game. Much more commitment shown that day.

Still, it presents an opportunity for those at Casey who are pressing for senior selection.

Oh, wait …

How about Confidence, Running-legs, Jolt-up-the-wazoo, JVR, Lever (after the bye), Laurie, Billings, Kolt, Hore (post-bye), Billings, Seston, Jeffo & AMW?!?!?!

Nick-off - your pain doesn’t get abated by being sarcastically-dissident when it’s hailing! You’re better than that I’m sure of it mate. If it happens again next week, and after bye, sure I’ll worry the years a write-off — But then I’ll trust JT and Goody whom won is a FLAG for the first time since 1964!!!!!!

Other then reading this complete and utter dribble what example of this club has proven to you they can be trusted other then bring knocked out in straight sets 2 years in a row.

Get rid of the rosy red and blue glasses FCS, reality has hit us smack bang between the eyes today.

Yep like a bad dream gone worse


Fritta.  You passed it to them. They have the wrong colours 

If you actually understand footy and know what to look for this isn't surprising. 

List has been monumentally mismanaged since the flag and standards have been poor for a while now. 

Club is arrogant, stubborn and to boot, dumb. We play players through injury, we don't reward form, we do reward mediocrity and the list management team have made a number of very soft calls. 

All these little things add up. 

21 is all we're seeing folks. I hate it and it makes me sad.

Yep, time to be ruthless.

This current era is now on its 8th season. Thanks for the memories, let's plan for the next 5 years.


Our ability to lift is beyond question...

 

We just lifted the Fockers into the 8

Bravo 👏 👏 👏 

 

To be perfectly honest, I’m maddest about not getting Sharp— A player we had interest in prev & that fits our needs so well! Can’t blv we didn’t try to snag him but who knows maybe there were red-flags re health long term or something.. I can’t help but remiss what Jackson/Gawn would’ve become as well! But then I’m reminded Jackson as a fwd is <Turner!!!

Been a long time since we felt like this hey 

I haven’t been embarrassed by a performance from this club for a long long time. I forgot how awful it feels. 

 

What a shame. Playing hard in the last quarter to avoid a 100 point loss

FFS you are talking absolute Rubbish 

You are putting this down to Loading 

That’s one of our problems, Arrogance. 
 

We have let A Grade Players walk and they have been replaced by below average discards…

  • 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.

  • 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.
