    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.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
