Same margin as the beginning of the quarter basically.....we're doin ok

we are still in this.

Great the way the team has locked down

It was looking very ugly early.

Big Half Time Roosy

We must outscore them in the 3rd

Wow at watts lack of effort. That last play his guy was double the distance he was to the ball and the guy tackles him as he picks up the ball... Get some fin intensity watts.. Killing me! So disappointed right now with him.

We are not playing badly, they are just so much better than us.

I'd say we are breaking even in defence, we just can't get our hands on the ball at clearances.

If this margin stays at 20, we can say it's been a good day for us.

No shame in losing to the probable premiers.

I'm pretty proud of the boys so far. Freo came out breathing fire and THIS time we didn't allow it to get too far ahead of us. We worked hard and were able to hit the scoreboard a bit, something we would have struggled to do in previous years.

There is still room for improvement too. Freo could well come out and turn the screws on us in the second half, but if you can't see that we're a far better side than last year then you're blind. We might lack some polish at times and turn it over when we shouldn't but we finally run both ways and we have guys who can apply constant pressure.

Fingers crossed for the second half.

i just cant believe how much we have improved in two pre-seasons.

After that pummeling at the opening we would have gone into our shells and been down 10 goals at quarter time and end up losing by 150 points in 2013.

Fremantle use every opportunity when they play at the G as finals preparation. They have limited opportunity in actually playing at the Mcg. For us to be within 4 goals at half time just by looking at the stats I think is a fair achievement.

Interesting that Frei have only won 3 out of 8 quarters in the second half....Will they tire....

is anyone [censored] playing on Fyfe?!

3 players have been tried and failed. He is next level. Absolutely insane how good he is.

Don't speak too soon

They've beaten the best teams in the comp, blown most of their games away by half time.

We're coming off being the worst team of all time, a quarter of our best 22 are out, they're full strength.

We're getting smashed stat-wise but we're putting up a fight.

If you're upset about this, you need a better hobby.

That 50 given to Freo was a gem. Never seen that before, so if you get a free now just run back fast at the nearest opposition player and claim interference! If you don't mind umpire!

Exactly. It's frustrating; I'm tearing what's left of my hair out and trying not to turn in to ragey football dad. Everyone wants to win, or at least think we could win, but the team can only do their best. I believe they are, they are just being badly outclasses, but still hanging on.

I can live with it.

serious mate?

He has been creating contests, and spoiling etc.

Don't decide before the game even starts that Watts is doing bad things, because it clouds your view when the game actually starts.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
