It’s Season Over for the Demons as they were blown out of the water from the outset of the match against the Western Bulldogs at Marvel Stadium ultimately going down by 51 points. 

When we lost Gus we lost our season. 

 

Reckon the passionate defense of Goody couldn't have come at a worse time hahaha

No midfield, no Dees.

Insipid performance with a couple of shining lights.

That's all. 

If you had told me at the start of the year that our midfield would become our worst performing area, I’d call you crazy. I’ve got more faith in our forwards than I do in our mids.

Also, I fear for the crowd size next week. Port could out number us.

Any injuries, put those players on ice and get the kids in. Load up for 2025.

In the words of Cypress Hill:

"When the s*** goes down, you better be ready"

All the ugliness of this season reprised in this game. 

i doubt we will win another game this year. such a pitiful performance, we allow the opposition to run around all by themselves and at times we dont even chase them.

Lets see what Goodwin has to say this week. Hard to see us winning another game this year.

35 shots to 14. Season on the Line

Big changes inside the Club are needed 

Top to Bottom, we need change

The Defence of ‘21 has officially come and gone

Yep, get the off-season surgeries out of the way early.

The easiest thing to turn around in footy is a midfield but we also need another KPD, Stevie May as great as he’s been is close to done

We just don't know how to tackle anymore.

50 point loss against a team coming off a 5 day break is damning. just not up for the fight tonight at all.

Very disappointed. I expected better

 

Thank God they only had a5 day break

 

Pretty sure we were assured they would crumble in the 2nd half

 

I actually thought the players had a go and never gave in. 

 

This is all on the coaching staff that are clueless. 

 

Well, that was pretty sad and boring to watch.

Actually thought we were becoming a dependably competitive team there for a while, but that's a distant memory now.

1 x compromised premiership and zero finals wins in the next 3 seasons is a travesty for this group.  Very disappointing.

 

 

Not our best capitulation, but another fine effort within the Badloss School of Under-developed Footballing. 

Absolutely smashed. Should have been 100 points.

It’s kind of fitting and sad that the doggies did this to us tonight. We smashed them to win a GF to herald what we thought was a dynasty and they have smashed us not even 3 years later to close our door. Is it closed for this year? Or for good with this list? I don’t know. But all I know is they must have felt good ending our season.

We were terrible.

Cant believe I’m saying this, but can we do a turnaround like the dogs? They were lost last year, slid out of the 8 as we have and started poorly this year. It can be done, but it takes honesty and hard work. 

I may hold my 20+ year membership next year, unless I see we’re actually going to perform a review on what has happened. I know we lost Gus and Trac but that does not mean effectively 100 point loss. We didn’t lose to an invincible either. 

Lots of questions to be asked at year end.

sad tonight, friends. That was woeful. 

We will always have 2021 I guess ❤️💙

Yep. 

Defensively a very weak performance again - this is becoming a trend. Weak in the contest, weak in transition, weak 1v1 down back. 

We're a shell of what we once were. And I don't think it's coming back. 

No cohesion, midfield non-existent, backline a mess.

Bowey finally looking like his old self, one of the few shining lights.

We'll take some learnings yadda, yadda, yadda .....

Rivers has really stepped up. His efforts need to be acknowledged because he had to carry Oliver and Viney as well.

The dynasty should have come in the years we went out in straight sets, and we mostly have ourselves to thank for that. How bloody pathetic.
