Fremantle by 27, i expect a massive effort from our boys but the difference in class to be obvious and ultimately the difference.

The effort is there and we have been as good as if not better than them for most of the first half. But the one key difference between the teams is class - one team takes its opportunities and kicks

Outstanding contest Pedersen; man handled, keeps his feet, give off to Kent who finishes nicely. Equal credit to both boys for that goal for mine.

So let me guess... If we get up and win this game you will never post on Demonland again.

Lets face it Freo is not likely to be worried about melbourne, their coach can fire them up as much as he likes the players will still be saying to themselves we are playing Melbourne, whats the problems. This does give us a chance to be far more competitive, the issue for the Dees as always is can we put 4 quarters together and can we minimise the number of turnovers. If yes to these two things we have a chance, if we fail in either we will loose.

Limiting the turnovers, and emphasising movement around the stoppages are the keys for the Dees.

But like in many games this year, we lack class against Fyfe, Pavlich, Ballantyne, Hill and I am unsure how we will go against Sandilands. Gawn is only a few cms shorter but hasn't got the body size and experience.

Freo by about 30.

Luckily Hill is not playing!

Freo don't tend to blow teams away.

Hopefully we put in a 4 quarter effort.

4 quarter effort should be a given... But we tend to take 20 minute naps each game.

And I have to go out tonight ... Making polite conversation while trying to check the score on my phone under the table cloth. Them by 5 goals. Jodie to have a good game, Colin to kick 2 and Watts to struggle.

If we get up I might just try the old "pull the table cloth off without disturbing the cutlery" trick!

Go Dees!

Dom Barry is our sub. Michael Apeness, who comes in for Pavlich, will debut. Morabito the sub for Freo. #AFLDeesFreo






No changes for us, but Freo skipper Matthew Pavlich is a late withdrawal #AFLDeesFreo



wow that could change things. Massive loss for them.

Pavlich and Hill out

Will be disappointing to lose this

That only leaves them with Sandilands and Fyfe and Mundy and Barlow and ……..

We make poor decisions without the best pressure team in football to play against. I hope we bring a strong effort but my gut tells me this could be ugly.

Massive chance today- heading away as a group pulled us together against the crows. expect a lot of tackles and many negating roles to be effective, last man standing and a low scoring win from the demons.

I think if they had sandilands out then id be suspicious. Maybe Frawley will go back to the forward line now.

I wasnt serious :)

I think we could win this, but to say it would be disappointing to lose just beause Freo have two of their very very long list of star players out is laughable.

    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
