Very proud of that last quarter effort. (Apart from the inaccuracy)

We were out on our feet but just pushed so hard.

Injuries just really destroyed us this year.

Hope Goldy is ok. She looked to be in a lot of distress. That was a nasty know.

Also a big shout out to the demon army. You make us proud.

Thursday night in Cairns and you're flying the flag @Katrina Dee Fan and @walkingcivilwar

valiant effort. plenty of perspiration but no inspiration

2 great chances to kick goals but unfortunately, we squibbed them. and thats the game

Hawks the better team overall and deserved the win

mathematically possible to make finals but chances close to zero

hopefully better luck next season. 

not all doom and gloom. some great experience for youngsters like Gall and Campbell. We're well set to bounce back next year.

Go Dees

Such a brave effort but Hawks had that little bit extra composure with the ball. So much to admire with this Melbourne team, they gave it their all but a few were running on empty at the end.  Too bad the AFL have no idea on fixturing and the less said about the umpiring the better.  Not saying they cost us the game but they were just generally bad.

2 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

feels like the story of 2024 - dees had heaps of opportunities and failed to perform when required

Poor take. We have been held back by injury all year. Give us Hore and Colvin and we would have comfortably taken them tonight.

Eliza West player of the match?! Really? Bates and Fleming were far more impactful.

Couldn't have picked a worse time to be injured Hore? Mithen is a spud, should have went to Geelong when she had the chance, must be traded. Fancy playing in Cairns this time of year pathetic scheduling.

Any chance Zanker could play in front?

Happens all too often George. She plays for the ball to get to her out the back. Rather see Gall as the deepest forward, because she attacks the ball in the air. Zanker was more effective at half forward.

Also like to see Bannon honour her teammates running into goal. Could have made a difference tonight.

She's not a spud, no one that plays at the level is a spud.

...but I think the game may have passed her by, too easily pushed off the ball and makes to many mistakes.

I think it's time to have a look at Rigoni...

Come on W both teams had to play in Cairns and as I live in Qld, Cairns at this time of year is not too bad. Be worse playing Dec - Feb. Just maybe the Hawks played a bit better and yes with Hore in we may have won but that is now just subject to maybes.

We lost because 

overhandballing 

lack of composure with the footy

umpires 

hawks are a solid team 

goldrick injury 

playing in humid cairns in late October 

and … 

CAPTAIN Kate Hore is one of two Demons who have been withdrawn from Narrm's clash against Hawthorn in Cairns on Thursday night.

The important midfielder/forward pulled up sore on Thursday morning, and has been withdrawn from the Demons' side as a precaution.

Defender Gabby Colvin, who was named to make her return from concussion against the Hawks, is also a late out after suffering a head knock at training and re-entering concussion protocols.

that was a hefty knock goldy copped there

That was a knee to the head. Umpiring is so bad (and it’s regularly very poor) they didn’t even pay a free kick. In the AFL, that’s clearly paid. The ump is as right there.  Sure it’s accidental, but still a free kick.  Losing Goldrick was a blow.  She’s had a good night and a very good season.

Mithen has had an extremely poor year, just turns the ball over, makes very poor decisions with the ball.  If it wasn't for our injuries she would and should have been dropped.

Rigoni should have come in 3 weeks ago, is quick runs with the ball and a smart player by hand and foot.

She is a premiership player for the Dees. A little bit of respect please.

She hasn't been good at all this year. If Beasley hadn't been injured, then i'm sure she would be playing instead of Lily. but she's been a great contributor over the journey for us.

A mysterious free for Hawks’ first goal.

Later, Bannan  marked in forward pocket, then a  strange decision was paid for interference against her. It would have been a tough goal from the angle, but she’s done it before.

 We deserved to win.

Blumin hell Mick Sinnear is good. Lost by points, season 95% done and dusted and he delivers pretty much the perfect post match speech. Doesn’t sugar coat it, tells truths and says we will go hard against the Pies next week. Love it.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
