THE LAST TIME THEY MET

Featured Replies

The second last time, we played a home game against them at Etihad Stadium but they don't have to play us at the WACA or Northam.

Anyway, we gave them a fair shake for a while.

So Melbourne defeated Freo ????????

My bad. Thanks for keeping me on my toes BK.

If I remember correctly, we were killing them until Mark Jamar went down and an unfit Stefan Martin had to ruck the rest of the game. After he failed to rise to the occasion, the inevitable occurred. I remember it being one of our better games last year, and it gives me a bit of hope for this weekend.


Doesn't anyone remember R23?

Doesn't anyone remember R23?

I guess we were all done with the season by then, but it turns out we did play Fremantle in Round 23 last year (at "Patersons" no less).

Freo won by ten goals, Ballantyne kicked 3, Sylvia had 25 touches and Jack Fitzpatrick (!) was our leading goalscorer with a mighty haul of two.

That game didn't count. We were tanking but Andy should come back with that team just for the record.

The last time they met it was at Patersons Stadium and we were already thinking about the tough pre season ahead that was going to catapult us up the ladder after the heat of the Northern Territory.

Sure thing.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
