They flogged us in the NAB, so I should hardly be surprised, but even the much maligned Dockers are looking like a pretty good unit.

Good skills in close, hard at it, sustained pressure, etc. You know, all things we might have thought we were going to see at some stage the season but now appears unlikely.

Suban, Mayne, Ballantyne, Hill, Barlow, Ibbotson are a good crop of young players who look like they have improved. Suban in particular looks like he is gooing to a gun for a left footed, hard running Victorian kid. Geez, i hope Blease can play a bit, because i am pretty sure Suban was taken after him and Strauss.

It now only leaves us and the Tigers as the laughing stocks of the AFL.

The negativity around here is emotionally draining.

Freo are not likely to win a flag with the list they currently have, and they won't get a chance to improve that list for a while. So I know where I'd rather be sitting.

We finished on the bottom last season and yet people were expecting miracles over the course of a pre-season. Miracles don't happen in footy.

Sit and wait and stop obsessing and over analysing every move, kick, handball, quarter, game, loss. It's not going to help anyone.

What some people call negativity is really just a spade being called a spade.

All you apologists for mediocrity have your heads buried in the sand.

Harden up!

Harden up?

How about harden up and stop bleating after every hard loss..?

We know they will happen; we have been told repeatedly to expect them; we have been warned it will take time and games; so why the proclamations of doom and gloom when what we should reasonably expect actually eventuates..?

There are too many posters keen to pat themselves for doubting Bailey from the start.

Sick self-congratulatory fools.

Exactly right, it is YOU, spirit of Barassi, who needs to harden up, YOU are the one whinging like a kid who just dropped his ice cream. We are the wooden spoon side, we got spanked again by the Hawks. We are a long way back. Some of you seem to revelling in this which is just bizarre

Freo are up 118-61. At the moment we're not last!

Kurt Tippett needs to die. He made us last D:

Fremantle 118

Adelaide 62

Barlow with 151 SuperCoach points, 33 (?) touches. I got him. :D

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
