I written about 10 posts and haven't posted any of them, none of them sum up this effort.

 

Going to be a long few weeks. Shame we couldn't capitalize on our winnable games.
 

We look very ordinary tonight.

I'm afraid that there are to many below the standard required and too many that just don't realise how desperate you have to be to win games. There are some who are too easily pushed off the ball and seem to be happy to be out of the contest.

Dom Tyson must work on his disposal or he will just be an average footballer. Dawes must hold on to his marks. There are so many problems that it will take 3 to 4 draft periods before we are competitive.

Look at the quality that he has around him and then look at us.
 


I'm also loving Jack Viney.

Trying to be positive here....

Last year this would have been a 140 point loss


My missus "Oh he just dacked him"

Email that to the club

There's my stat: Freo have scored 8.2.50 from turnovers. Ouch.

Disgusting stat. Total and utter lack of class not helped by hardly winning clean clearances and having no decent tall forwards.

We aren't even able to stop the flow of goals tonight. We've gone backwards the last month. Really really disappointing.

The thing that gives me hope is that we can work on scores from turnovers and when we bring that down, we will be very hard to beat. (glass very half full here)

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
