If you're going to lose at least take the game on and run both ways and attack the ball when its there rather than wait for some one else to get it. I can take skill errors but lazy football I can not.

I back that we kick it to their spare a further 5 times this quarter. How dumb are we.

 

Next week will b fun coming back from a nice warm day in WA.
 

It's the correct decision though.

No it isn't. Head high contact is penalisable whether accidental or not, and that's the way it's been played all year, with the exception of conscious ducking. It's a further embarrassment to the umpiring of the game. Utterly woeful.

I know its early days but Oscar Mc Donalds first few disposals have resulted in turnovers!
 

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.

At least we r consistent in something !!

Dees kicks to team mates are 50:50 propositions. Just kicking in hope. Freo playing like a team.


We are being positively smashed in the middle and have a slow team both in mind and leg.

I am positive that it will be a large loss.

I am positive we need better players.

No heart, no urgency, no interest.

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

You know what Praha, I was listening to Tim Watson the other day and he made a point that I have to agree with. He noted that we don't have much talent in the side. If you go through the list honestly, he's right. To the point where I'd be up for a major rebuild.

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.

I asked that question about Spencer when he got selected and got hammered for it


I know its early days but Oscar Mc Donalds first few disposals have resulted in turnovers!

What do you expect? He is related to Tom McDonald

Oh my God...who missed that punch?

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.

Spot on, Dawson dropped his knee on Jones head trying to milk a free.

Thats bulltish.

You are generous. We have only kicked 3 goals during that period. None today. And we don't look like kicking one.

Very very early days. Kids been thrown to the wolves debuting today.

Jones injured.

FML

We can't get our hands on the ball in the centre

Why am I [censored] watching this and getting angry?! Get a life!

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
