Bit of Off Season banter here but Shane Yarran who retired from Freo took to Facebook and wrote this about Freo and Nat Fyfe. The journos think ots legit but you be the judge.

    Certainly his account, but maybe not him posting. Although you'd think if it wasn't him there'd be a strong denial.

    Hard to read much in to the drug stuff. That's not really anything we don't know about AFL footballers.

    The Fyfe stuff was the most shocking to me. Certainly there's always been rumours he isn't well liked by a lot of his team mates but this is pretty vicious treatment, you'd have to really dislike someone to write this about them.

    That's pretty intense!

    That was written by a very troubled person who needs help.  He is carrying around a lot of hatred and bitterness and this is coming out in his assaults and other incidents in his private life.  

    Interesting the resentment at some clubs about players who set themselves high standards, some thing has happened to others such as Rockliff.  In the past you would work to match them, it seems to today they resent them when they work so hard to succeed.

    You'd have to think he wrote that with a bottle of jack Daniels in hand, vindictive. And Freo gave him his shot at AFL after jail time.......sour grapes from a troubled mind.

    I think he needs to learn about spelling and Grammar.

    I'm sure that'd sort him out no doubt. Maybe a couple of years at Melbourne Grammar.

    Agree in general but I doubt anyone would be hating Rockliff for his purity as a 'virgin dog'.

    Also 'ratf...er', which is confusing. Can a dog still count as virgin if it is f...ing rats?

    This is not an edifying moment for anyone involved. I do wonder how the $1.7m man will handle it?

    Ross Lyon picks his best 22, doesn't vary it too much, but gets the most out of them. The problem is, those outside the 22 simply don't improve under a RL coaching regime.

    He is not very good at managing the entire playing group. He is the antithesis of a list manager.

    Poor guy. I hope he is OK.

    Life can go off the rails pretty quickly for a lot of people.

    He needs a good support network around him. An AFL club environment would be a pressure cooker for many people.

    Given the chance of a lifetime to play AFL at the top level, continues to screw up with two assault charges pending, [censored] on the club and all of the players accusing them all of being on drugs and, if I read it right, wants Fyfe to 'die a slow painful death'. The icing on the cake is the complete lack of punctuation. I find it hard to have any sympathy.

    I hope Freo do the right thing and support him through this tough time. With the right guidance, they might be able to cajole him out of retirement.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
