Great gutsy win. Amazing what some good set shot kicking can do for a result.

Lots to be concerned about and little to enthuse.

What hurts is the thing we all feared would cost us a final did. Completely unacceptable forward structure and execution. Embarrassing back to back straight sets now on the cards. The players really let us down tonight. The first quarter was quite pathetic really given what was at stake. Thought May and mcvee played well. Didn't rate anyone elses game

Disappointing result. More becuase it was Carlton. We were poor for large portions of the game which is a common trend unfortunately. However the last 20 minutes was fantastic from a physicality/contest point of view, just can't execute going forward. It will cost us in September unless McDonald has a massive impact. Viney is an absolute beast. Amazing. The Grundy selection was costly. Bowie had a poor game and lost some crucial contests. The umpiring continues to be abysmal.

The dees dynasty is over

Exactly my point

Not so sure, Langdon is fairly ineffectual most of the time. At least compared to prior years. Running 10kms doesn't mean much on it's own.

Derrrrrr I mean after that. Wasted 2 years since the premiership lost in its prime. Going in the wrong direction

I know you're tongue in cheek but Goodwin is 100% the problem here. How many years grace will our soft club give this guy?

Agree, but questions need to be asked about our coaches and strategy also.

No surprise we got blown away once the weather cleared and the game opened up.

Well said. Nailed it.

That's the thing. Any team that can do the fundamentals will beat us easily

Two horrible teams. What a fall from grace by the dees. This is not finals or premiership winning football

Our premiership chances are over. The "gameplan" is abhorrent and the players are lost. The season would be recoverable under any other coach than Goodwin. What a waste of a talented list.

Yeah I agree, was using it in jest, but also to highlight the rubbish that gawn and co continually spewed earlier in the year about the drive to win it in front of the fans.

Covid cup specialists

Nailed it. Utter stubbornness, naivity and stupidity from the club this year. What a painful second half of the season, like banging head against the wall. We were going nowhere fast and there was zero attempt to turn it around. Not one change to squad or game plan.

A shameful performance. So many moments that bordered on embarrassing. Couldn't be more disappointed with the effort, coaching and execution for a qualifying final. Very hard to see how this team beats 3 more finalists.

Continually our coaching team and senior coach have failed to be able to make game plan adjustments during a season, if at all. As has been said a few times above, time to concede our best is no where near good enough to be a contender. 5 or 6 losses in almost identical fashion against other top 8 teams and we've changed nothing. Infuriating. I don't trust this team again.

English destroyed him tonight in terms of influence on the game

We haven't been a good team for 3 months, so this doesn't surprise at all, however it still hurts to see our season wither away to nothing after the 10 & 0 start. The May clanger was definitely a defining moment in the end but we shouldn't be in a losing position after leading by 25 odd points.

This definitely feels like I'm watching the 2020 demons rather than reigning premiers. Inconsistent, dysfunctional at times and easy to coach and score against.

A proud demon tonight. enjoy the next 2 weeks as much as we can. Hopefully a dynasty is coming and we can all celebrate together at the MCG. Gawn. Legend . All the boys well done.
