    Honestly if it were 2 years ago I might have been angry. Now I am just fairly neutral. 2023 broke me. I am still just absolutely gobsmacked at how far this club has fallen in the space of 12 months. It must be studied.

    I feel exactly the same way.

    I shake my head now in disbelief how badly our club have fu kd that period of dominance 21-23 and beyond up.

    Strangely I’m not feeling over upset. Maybe supporting the Dee’s for well over half a century has hardened me up. I just feel a little numb.

    Or maybe I’ll get a big dose of PTSD in the coming days. Who knows.

    Spot on !!!

    I felt privileged to be a Melbourne supporter 2021, now back to embarrassed like the other 40 yrs of my existence

    Thank you for the AFL Premiership in 2021, Simon.

    However, it is now time to go.

    The loss this evening to St. Kilda after being up by 46 points at 3/4 time was unacceptable! 🤬🤬🤬🤬

    I noticed this during the last 10 minutes of that last quarter. Surely the players just gave up on the coach? That's what I was thinking, can't comprehend that no one was guarding the space just behind the man on the mark. It seemed deliberate.

    “So, we'll learn from it, clearly, and grow from it. But it's unacceptable at the same time."

    I get it, he has to spin it but [censored] me dead I’m over it. Why do we have so many learnings to do when we were the best team in the comp in 2021? What did we forget ?

    Did Simon do a press conference?

    What could you possibly say after that?

    10 years almost to the month when we didn't have the audacity to flood guys back before 6-6-6 and Joey broke our hearts at the death. This club does not [censored] learn.

    No I will not turf my membership but dont be surprised if you just lost 10,000 members after that. You suck.

    I reckon your comment about the club not learning is spot on. Ironically Goody's always talking about how much they are learning. What's really telling is the amount of supporters in this thread that could see where today was headed. We could see a loss coming when our team is 9 goals up in the last qtr!!!

    Far out.

    We are the most learned team in the comp

    Any idea how to get rid of this raging ball of anger in my gut?

    any suggestions welcome

    I think this senior leadership group is permanently scarred after the loss of Brayshaw and the two straight set finals exits.

    The Swans were in the same boat after 2 grand final failures. But they've looked much fresher with Cox at the helm.

    It has to be time, couldn't take another year of this.

    That coach and group of players will have that hanging over their heads for the rest of their lives that they were the worst last quarter team in the history of the game.

    The supporters have to live with all the residual rubbish we are going to cop as well.

    How bloody sad and depressing .

    I thought it was a good team effort in the first half.

    The pressure and want was there and the embodiment of this was Viney.

    The only way I can explain the last 40 mins of the game is if the fitness and conditioning department have completely [censored] things up over the past 3 years.

    It’s clear, as others have said, we lack grunt and mental toughness. The immediate question is, who do we have that wasn’t playing today that has these qualities?

    Perhaps May, possibly Campbell, Johnson (has grunt)… That’s it!

    We need a focus on these qualities in all future recruiting. We need a few of the types that we despise who play for rival clubs.

    Why not a warning for the 666? I don't remember one earlier.

    What’s even more inexplicable for me is that we started the game with our best first qtr for the year before we had the worst 4th qtr of all time in the same game

    • 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?
