We need some new blood both on the ground and inside the coaches box. Some tough calls need to be made or nothing will change.

    Chin up young Caleb, there'll be plenty more opportunities to generate a match winner off the back of a burst down the mcg wing. He was genuinely gutted and it's great to see so much passion. Future is bright. We'll be back

    Respect the positivity but we won't. This list as it stands is cooked - midfield in particular is threadbare and there is very little in the cupboard. We have some good kids but the gap in our list between 23-29 means we'll have some lean next few years.

    Too many NQRs, youngsters and we are at least two quality mids away from winning these.

    One of those is of course Tracc.  Rivers might end up being another.  Might need to find one more as well.

    JVR went missing for long periods tonight.  A bit clumsy at ground level. 

    Kozzy bah.  He plays like a million $ one minute then a 10 game rookie the next.

    Petty's best game (in his forward role sense) for the year imho but still wasn't quite good enough.  Needed to finish off his strong mark and put the goal away.  It's not on Petty but he kicks that we probably win.

    Lever good in the first.  Ok in the second but a fair way off his best in the second half.  Knee an issue or still building?  He just isn't damaging with ball in hand.

    Billings & Bowey had a few cameos but still a fair way off the level tonight.

    Unfortunately Woey was nowhere near it.  Brown Dog would've been a better option and not in hindsight.

    Back on the coaching with this one. Hogan is the premier full forward in the game and we have the premier fullback playing on Jake Riccardi until they made the move late in the last quarter.

    Horrid coaching

    As usual Badloss totally out of his depth..OUTCOACHED Fluked a flag and we need to look elsewhere IMV

    Disappointing night we played pretty well but their run and class linking up across the ground was a bit too good….i don’t think we are that far off being a finals side again though

    Ladder doesn’t lie. Weren’t not frauds - we’re just not that good.

    We lost one of our best players before the season started, had multiple key players have shocking preseasons, been ravaged by injury, played the kids every game and clearly not got our fitness right. 

    Nail meet head

    We cost ourselves. They dominated us for long periods of time. Used it better and were just a class above. We tried hard but they’re simply better. 

    I thought we played better for majority of the game and deserved the win. It's just was frustrating when there were calls and non calls that cost us goals and prevented us goals, from the poor decisions we would of had a couple goal win IMO. Meh, it's footy I guess.

    It was obvious how we cleared out the space … then Tom Green knew it and CLARRY WAS ASLEEP. Clarry not the contested player that he was. Green beat him to the footy on many occasions.  

    Clarry gave away 2 metres on every stoppage in the last quarter. Green won the clearance, go back ti the centre, rinse and repeat. I don’t care what he did in the first half, he was poor in the last half, no accountability

    He has been our saving grace this year, against Hogan in his best year ever, and you want him to retire off 1 bad game?

    There’s been more than 1 bad game, last 6 weeks he has been unable to defend, yeah he’s had a few kicks. Not the answer moving forward and time to go past him IMO.

    Giants are a real chance this season . Dangerous.  Our fadeout was poor but comeback extremely admirable against a formidable opponent. Finals not really in the equation now. Good pick coming our way. Hope Jefferson and others get a crack in the remaining rounds.

    Agree hole heartedly 

    3 goals in two quarters then to let them kick 4 unanswered was very poor.

    and yo have Disco as sub, huge error of.judgement. 
     

    need some new staff to pick the side 

    and bring on 2025 .  We are Gawn

    GWS we’re far better after quarter time

    im amazed it was so close 

    we tried hard but not good enough

    It really struck me how we just seem to go along the boundary year after year. Almost to cover up our poor disposal skills.

    It was so blatantly obvious tonight the way GWS would use the angles and move through the corridor fast to try and beat our defence getting into position.

    I know we've had a tough year. Gus, Oliver, Tracc, Gawn and May all injured.

    But geez our game style and skills just don't stack up.

    Until we transform these two aspects. We'll remain in mediocrity

    Yep that was a shocker.  That and their mid field dominance at CBs early in the last Q probably cost us the match.

    Can May ever regain any agility or is he done?

    If the former he should sit out the season and get right. having a guy that can’t bend over at all is killing us

    was telling myself that disco would be good as a sub at half time, he could take a key back/fwd or help with ruck if gawn was sore, but they wasted him

    10th on the ladder. Got smacked the week before, cold rainy night. We also haven’t played attractive footy since round 4 2022.

    Its alright mate. I understand it’s abit tough for you.

    Out Roffey, Goodwin et al, IMV

    Goodwin won’t go but we desperately need some new blood in the assistant coaching team. Furthermore, Choco needs to be looked at as well as Tim Lamb.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
