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.

Lost at selection, should have played Oliver

Time to turn JVR into the greatest backman of the modern era

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

Who’s responsible for 8 out of the last 9 last quarter fade outs?

JVR has to be tried as a defender or traded. It's the only way we'll get something out of him.

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

So much to like … and then some to not like so much.

Has our DNA become we play for 3/4??

Loved that we had 7 years of not losing to the poos and wees …

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 🤮🤮🤮🤮

Free kick Hawthorn

Straight sets Hawthorn they are no good. Fake top 4 team.

Perfect round to rest Melky. Nice one coach.

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

Oliver did play Adonai 😜

The goal kicking....

And the last quarters...

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

Is it cricket season yet?

Same story, need to kick straight and be fitter.

I absolutely love Langford and Lindsay.

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!

Typo

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.

Only a wasted if we were a chance to start with, club needs to make some hard calls on some players so we can move fwd

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

We probably should have gone into 3qtr time 5 goals up unfortunately

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

Lost when the gambling industry got its hooks into the sport.
