Melbourne v Fremantle

Featured Replies

really happy with our defence so far.. just in the 2 quarter i dont think our midfield pushed hard enough.. They need to learn how to gut run... aka BEN COUSINS!!!

 

Ran into Brock McLean this morning while having lunch in Moonee Ponds, he was having lunch with family. Still on crutches and leg all strapped up, I wished him well for next season.

He obviously isn't in Perth today, and doubt Robbo will be there either (still on crutches no doubt).

Without McLean, Green and Moloney not there a guy like Jones can't handle the extra pressure yet. Need him to step up in the middle and win us a few clearances in the third quarter!

2nd term was pathetic but there is still a half of footy left!

Agreed they are a very young list.. There just doing really basic mistakes, which u would expect off under 10`s. But there giving it a crack which is all we can ask1


boys arnt running hard... gee cant wait for morton 2 get some muscle behind him. Gana be a superstar..We look so much lighter than them.

They are running the ball far too easily out of defence. No pressure at all. Thankfully Freo can't kick straight. Apart from Miller our forwards an ineffectual today.

 

Where`s Juice???? Injuried or... Even know the ball isnt getting down there, havn`t seen him...

Only 2 players at Melb have played every game this season.... Jones and Bruce.....

God the radio sounds terrible!!! Turn over turn over turn oer goal goal goal FARK

We can't get the ball past the centre at the moment. Turnover city. Just as I write this we turn it over again and, yep, it's Buckley. Learn how to kick.

He can kick the ball, its our midfield..... making our defence under so much pressure!!!!!

Bloody hell.... Martin holding ball in Freo FF 50

And again the Dockers run the ball out of our forwardline FAR too easily. How could we go from such a fantastic first quarter to this?


Hrmmmmm senior players please stand up!! younger players well done.. Juice for the bin.

This is only the third time this season that I feel utterly ashamed of our performance.

Apart from Miller who is working his arse off, our players are lazy and generally just don't care.

And how many goals can Wheatley cost us with his turnovers before somebody drags him off the ground?!!!

Not winning is one thing, playing like we are at the moment is completely unacceptable.

P.S.- awesome leadership from Bruce out there :rolleyes:

Kinda hoped that a modest loss at worst would have us off the bottom. Don't think so

1 out of last 12 goals!! Doesn't get much worse. :angry:

81

47

This could be bad

OR good

Depends if you want draft picks or wins

Especially after the strides we have made over the last month. Freo are rubbish. Absolute rubbish. And we have rolled over and let them run all over us for 2 quarters. I think a summer working on our skills is ahead for the boys. We can't keep turning it over like this.

P.S.- awesome leadership from Bruce out there :rolleyes:

Where's Yze_Magic when you need him?

So many players just butchered the ball that quarter, disgraceful effort. Morton and Sylvia two of the chief suspects. Our leading forwards apart from Miller were absymal, Juice has had about 3 touches for the game, Aussie not many more.

And that holding the ball against Martin was a disgrace, notice Jakovich said it was a good decision, no surprises there, nor did he have much to say when it was obvious Sandilands had dropped that mark inside 50.

Geez, its gonna be a long plane flight home for these boys...

I want draft picks, but the way we're playing today no amount of early picks is going to help us.

Draft picks don't make you accountable for your man, don't enable you to hit targets, and sure as hell doesn't make you play with more desire.

We only have 3 senior players out there today, and not one of them has stood up and done anything worth mentioning. Without McLean in the middle, Green down back and with Miller not getting any delivery up forward (having to run into the centre to try and provide an option), there's little wonder we're falling apart.

And for the love of god, would someone PLEASE teach Bate to play below his knees!!!

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
