Sunday training run for Freo on Domain Stadium.

We're probably better than a few WAFL sides

Freo kick first 5 goals and aren't out of second gear yet!

 

That was shocking, Jones.
 

Can't remember us ever being in front on free kick count at quarter time. 12-2 is a joke of an imbalance. And they wonder why attendances are down.

Ho hum.


Positive thoughts, positive thoughts .........

In the back of my mind is 186. Surely not.

No injuries so far!

PS - we should also be fresh to make our assault on the final 3 quarters!

Also good to see Viney have a real go (needs to clean up his disposal, but what's new?)

Edited by Demon Disciple

Most of the free kicks are a product of 3 things:

1. Dumb footballers playing like idiots

2. Zero talk and players getting caught

3. Players fumbling and giving away a freek kick as a means of making up for their ineptness.

Most of the free kicks have been there.

Freo do seem to be allowed to drop the ball though.


No heart, no urgency, no interest.

Will there be a soul at next week's game?

Why did we even bother with Spencer today?

We have no run, getting smacked in the ruck and the clearances. We would have been better off with more legs through the middle. And Grimes is sub is just dumb.

The coaching perplexes me.

Three Dees without a touch...


Freo do seem to be allowed to drop the ball though.

Almost as annoying as seeing Michie pull up on two chases

I ned to be negative again

This team and the game plan absolutely stinks

Roos is almost asleep in the box yarning all qurater Must have been out on the P%$S

I cannot watch this carp

In the back of my mind is 186. Surely not.

Nah, Freo are pretty poor compared to that Geelong team.

We are playing similarly to the Dees of '11.

This has 79 point loss written all over it.


It's the correct decision though.

Kicking back acres goal when we're getting hammered?

Yeah, right.

Three Dees without a touch...

That means 19 have touched the ball!

POSITIVITY!

Summary:

1st QTR in the last four weeks

6 goals to 1

5 goals to 1

8 goals to 1

7 goals to 2

Yet again game over at qtr time.

We have been killed yet again by the spare man in defence.

Great coaching Roosy. Good to see them coming out and breathing fire.

Adios I'm out of here. Think I'll wash the car.

 

It's the correct decision though.

No it wasn't. The rule was bought in to protect players lower legs. The Freo player jumped and kneed him in the neck, that is not lower legs. If they start that sort of interpretation then you will soon not be allowed to bend over.

Will we ever get the better of the umpiring in a game ever??

No.

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
