Given it is a six-day break for them afer the Darwin game, it would also put a large dent in the post-Darwin effect theory ...

Perhaps it's more a case of we just been plain [censored] for the past 8 years so it wouldn't matter if we came back from Darwin or we played back to back at the G.......

Geelong playing some lazy footy tonight, plus there are plenty of spuds running around for them.  Cockatoo, Ruggles, Murdoch, McCarthy etc.  Take away a few of the experienced players and they are exposed for the very average players they are.

I like McCarthy, he shows a bit, he has been alright in their recent losses while alot of there others have been pretty [censored]. He is no star but he is consistent and he puts pressure on. He would get a game over Kennedy or Kent in our side

Edit: As if on cue he takes a very nice grab 


Hopefully we haven't gone early here Nasher - still a good chance for Freo to fatigue badly in the second half and fully get pantsed. In which case there may some merit to it

Or maybe the Shockers are tiring right now...

True. Or possibly they are just [censored] like we used to be ... :lol:

Even if they got flogged - you could never be sure it was fatigue, given how Freo have gone in general this year.

Yep!

you reckon? i don't reckon the whole ball was over the line...

 

besides, a boundary umpire not out of bounds ruling cost the filth a flag, so i'm all for them.

That angle I saw showed Dangerfield himself entirely outside the boundary, with the ball on the out-of-bounds side of his body.  Unless I've misunderstood physics really badly, it could not possibly have been in.

He's awesome.  That was totally out of bounds though.

The boundary umpire couldn't have been in a better position either to call it.

Titus in good form: Hawthorn finally have a side capable of winning a premiership.

"Whether they get there this year or not, Hawthorn are on the right track and it's good to see another team challenge for the ultimate prize." 

I love Titus.  I thought his style of one-liners would get tedious after a while, but after months, it just hasn't.  


Shockers Goalless in the 3rd

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Fremantle

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
