Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    Oliver not fit enough we can’t keep playing him, until he gets back to a reasonable fitness level back to vfl.

    Jeffo not ready for AFL

    Fritsch needs to go back to vfl for real this time.

    Langford looks like he will be an absolute gun

    The game should have been over at 3/4 time. We dominated the middle part of the game and missed 8 easy shots at goal

    Another last quarter masterclass by us AFTER another masterclass performance in goal kicking.

    U reap what you sow.

    FFS ANOTHER SEASON WASTED.

    But don’t worry it gets easier next week with the lions at the Gabba 🤮🤮🤮🤮

    Poor goalkicking.

    Wasted opportunities.

    Last quarter fade out

    (Copy and paste from any game, really)

    Umpiring was corrupt but it’s not why we lost. We were in it at 3Q but didn’t turn up. Again. Apparent we are not a real team and won’t beat any real teams this year. Blood the kids, get ready for 2026

    I reckon Goodwin outcoached Mitchell today but if your players can’t kick straight from 30m it doesn’t matter what tactics you use

    Season over for all practical purposes.

    Only thing keeping my interest is denying Essendon a high draft pick.

    Continual injuries haven't helped but there's little joy to be had this year

    Please Dees, just give me 4 quarters of pressure like the first three, and accurate goal kicking when we have the game on our terms …….. and an even hand from the umpires would also be nice, thank you very much!

    I'll say the worst umpiring I've seen in a long time., muppets.

    But it was all the regulation set shots we missed in the 2nd and 3rd that cost us the game.

    Otherwise that was the best team effort we have played all year as a team. There is still the issue of 4th qtr fadeouts to work on.

    In my distant youth an accidental trip was a free and a deliberate trip is a suspension. What is it now?

    Our inability to develop a key forward post Neitz needs to be studied.

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?
