The Dees played insipid, error riddled & uninspiring footy all night and in a lightning delayed match they eventually succumbed to Collingwood by 46 points at the MCG in the final game of the year. Thank God this season is finally over. Bring on 2025. 

Burn all the tapes 

Burn the tape, throw it in the bin, burn the bin 

Throw the entire Season into the Crusher

F$&@eth off…

Unless drastic changes are made, 2025 will be more of the same I fear.

we're a poorly skilled outfit. absolutely have to address the skills deficiency on our list if we're to challenge again.

Thank goodness this seasons done. 

It was horrendous from pre season to now. 

Come back fitter & better please 

It’s cricket season.

I'm still getting over jaded making 20+ pies supporters tossed out. BOG. 

Two minutes to go and Billings finds the perfect way to sum up the season, running unchallenged into an open goal ---- and missing.

Cant wait to come back in 2025 with the same forward line disconnect. Let's draft more defenders. You know it's going to happen. Hasn't changed in 3 years. Oh well here is hoping for the better.

 

If St Kilda beat Carlton, and GC beat Richmond by about 20-odd points I think, we will finish 14th.

The draft pick crew will be happy. 

No Petracca, May, Lever, Oliver, Windsor, Sparrow. Who actually thought we’d win this game? Throw it in the bin and let’s go again next year.

Bring on pick 5

Lame. Not the boost we wanted to instil some confidence in 2025 but I guess we’ll just have to do with reassurances in the offseason that we’ll fix everything that need fixing and go again next year. 

Until then, it’s just a game…it’s just a game… it’s just a game… it’s just a game… it’s just a game… it’s just a game… 

(I say as I rock myself to sleep after being belted by the pies, again).

And now people see it, signs were there in 23,23 and now 24 will now be interesting to see what the club does now.

There is one solution, but you may not like it.

I hope Adams and Jefferson have huge preseasons and can perform at AFL level. I’m optimistic about next year but we need a lot to go right. May and Gawn so important.

Adam is getting to much thanks. 

@Abyssal just a follow up from your game day reply to my post. Fritta kicked 41 goal this year with some massive hardship with our club, 

 

Yep, it was not a good year from Fritta, but he still performs to a good level even when he was not at our best. 
 

on a good year he is top quality.

For starters get JVR out of the ruck position and teach him to mark.

All talking about Melbourne's disappointing season and how well the pies finished the season and all the good signs. They are the reigning champs who didn't make the 8. WHAT THE HELL.

And who do the Pies play in the finals? Same team we do.

98.5 percentage. The weekend could get better if things go our way.

Disappointing to say the least. A lot to work on in the offseason.
