Thank God this season is finally over. Bring on 2025. 

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.

    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.

    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.

    @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.

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

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
