With thanks to finalsiren.com for stats, I've put together our finishing positions and finals performance since 2001.

I'm not sure what my own agenda is here, but I figured everyone might have an opinion on what this record means, and it might be useful to have it handy in front of us.

My personal opinion, I've just about lost faith. Those three years of 'coulda-beens' from 2004-2006 were ok so long as it was a case of coming back next year to take the extra step up and genuinely challenge for a premiership.

Looking back of the finals performances, I'm feeling pretty negative. Depleted and injured St Kilda, plus a solid win over the Kangaroos in '02, are our only finals wins since season 2000.

So here's the results, to jog people's memory.

What do they mean to you?

Right, I'm upgrading this topic - not just overall results, but articles and key moments from the last few years.

Here's a couple of interesting historical perspectives I've come across in a quick search of the net. Until someone complains, I'll keep gradually building this 'archive'. Hopefully it'll make for some interesting reading.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership.
