JKH=at least he got into some better positions today and although his choice of option was poor,I liked his progress and can see an improved player.

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.

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.

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.

    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

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
