Jamar - was totally obliterated - Disagree. Thought he battled really well

Jones - couldn't get involved

Kennedy - Harris - totally lacked finesse Tried to take game on but is not good enough and should take first option

Pedersen - limited by size - Was amongst our best in effort

McDonald - our only winner

McKenzie - an irrelevant footballer

Michie - exposed by pace - and endurance

Newton- was rarely noticed Made a few bad blues

Salem - loose before injury

Tyson - continued disappointing season - agree. He isn't right.

vandenBerg - out of depth

Vince - no hero today

Watts - embarrassing and insipid - Just get him out of my sight.

 

Brayshaw - cemented senior spot

Cross - age catching up

Dunn - tried but beaten

Garland - some good efforts

Garlett - lone ranger forward

Grimes- looked past it

Hogan - ok but held

Howe - just another game

Jamar - tried but beaten

Jones - too many clangers

Kennedy - Harris - out muscled constantly

Lumumba - couldn't break free

Pedersen - worked very hard

McDonald - 2015 b&f winner

McKenzie - a vfl footballer

Michie - another vfl footballer

Newton- a reality check

Salem - was sorely missed

Tyson - poor form blues

vandenBerg - tried but beaten

Vince - just did enough

Watts - worst 100th ever?


Big Quality Mids, please

We keep selecting the wrong types as the game changes Now you need Fyfes and Mundys and Barlows and Subans

They were hard at it all day and even when they were cruising their midfiled were a couple of classes above

We were horrid all day. Freo played in second gear all day, had all the run, all the pace, all the positioning, but were very average going forward for 3 quarters.

I thought they were a 20 goal-better side today. If we didn't have Garlett, who would have kicked our goals? We didn't kick a single goal off a rebound.

We are lucky it was only 68 points. Saying it was commendable for 3 quarters is comical.

Fair call!

Rubbish!

Jamar played well in the circumstances. Tell me who Grimes was on? Ballantine. What influence did he have. And Pederson played a pretty good game


Brayshaw - Competitive and consistent
Cross - Beaten but committed
Dunn - 2014 a memory
Garland - Constantly out marked
Garlett - Not quite damaging
Grimes - Locked down Ballantyne
Hogan - Didn't get delivery
Howe - Going through motions
Jamar - Old and tired
Jones - Outran all day
Kennedy-Harris - Constantly found out
Lumumba - Really just "there"
Pedersen - Better than Dawes
McDonald - Contained their best
McKenzie - Dear God why!?
Michie - Run outta MCG
Newton - Did he play?
Salem - Standard loose game
Tyson - Can't break tag
vandenBerg - Tried all alone
Vince - Out of depth
Watts - Will never arrive

Go back and do it again and take into account we were playing the most in-form team of the comp.

You let yourself down with complete negativity.

You have a good column and I like reading it, but if you came home grumpy, at least take a bit of time to rationalise before putting your thoughts into print.

You have to be bigger than this

If we want to be a top team we need to rate ourselves against the best.

I don't agree with all assessments but most were fair.

On a side note I think we've got a real beauty in Brayshaw. The kid can play and the Freo players gave him a bit more respect after he nailed a few hard tackles.

Grimes on Ballantine. Ballantine 9 poss. 1 behind. I'll take that

Except Grimes was on Mayne

Totally agree with this. Freo should have been 10 goals up by 3/4 time, plus the flogging that came in the last quarter. Just imagine if Pavlich and Walters were on in the third quarter when the flood gates started to open.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
