It's moments like these that make me grateful I don't know any Freo supporters.

There was plenty of them there today, where the [censored] did they come from.

Still too many poor decision makers who, when the pressure is really on, make poor choices or execute their skills poorly.

Inexperience.

Tends to do that.

Harmes, ANB, Melksham ... will be interesting to see what changes come up for next week. Hogan, Trengove and Brayshaw in?

Hogan is probably singing the Freo song with his mates back over in Perth.

Oh [censored] off. [censored].

2-2 means finals will be difficult, if Richmond win impossible. Dockers are better than they've been given credit for but we should have buried thte game. Inexcusable

I am concerned about Simon goodwins coaching.

He has gone so offensive, he has thrown the defensive aspects out the window.

I'm not.

He had no answer for Lyons flood but when your players are always second to the footy and turning the ball over how can you put that on the coaches

1. A solid first half

2. A horrid 3rd quarter in terms of not doing the hard yards running the other way and pressure acts? Freeo (Hunt,Fyfe and others) played out of their skins and busted us in the stoppages. The number of times i saw Sandi bunt the short thrown ball in towards the boundary with hill already at full tilt picking up the crumbs was annoying.

3. Jones & Viney were well covered on the day and bobbed up here and there but mostly innefective.

4. We have a very young side who are prone to not playing the percentages a little too often when the heat is on.

5. Vince had another ordinary disposal/decision making game.

6. Watts/Spencil (Mountain Man) were admirable but the lack of a decent KPF up forward was glaring.

7. Jeffy waa incredible!

8. Why didnt we flood after the Viney goal??? Horrible coaching

Vince's rushed, wobbly torp into the forward 50 with less than a min to go shows he can be a dumb footballer at critical times. Made no attempt to lower his eyes and spot up a teammate. Would've sealed the game. Dumb football by a seasoned veteran.

Might as well forget finals(for now) 1 week at a time if we can't beat the tigers then I would say it makes it too hard, how we lost that game I will never

Lost at selection 2 weeks in a row.

Weiderman has cost us twice. Forward coach under extreme pressure . Simply ridiculous selection. Disgraceful. Weiderman is gentle.

Hannan no where near it.

I worry about Jones and Viney and whilst the forwards were flogged our on ballers were woeful and couldn't get it to them.

Midfield except Oliver slow, very slow and gone backwards. B grade midfield. 

They will drop Tyson but it was Jones and Viney who were the problem.

Hate to say it but the Weeds is going to struggle at AFL level. Very concerning draft pick and very Lucas Cook esque. Too skinny, doesn't run and no mongrel. Can't even get a goal 15m with the game on the line either.

Now cue the awful feeling when you have to replay in your head how that last 2 1/2 mins could have gone better for the next 4 hours but then keep reminding yourself there's nothing you can do about it .... thanks Melbourne ? My long weekend looking great now

There was still 3 minutes left. They tried to chip around the backline with 2.30 left. Too long to go into your shells.

A minute before that he had the ball in the back pocket, made like he was gonna go long down the line and tried a little chip kick which no one except him was wise to. Absolutely stupid

We are always shakey in these games we go in favourites.

We kicked goals in the second to go a goal or two up and the players looked flat, as if the job was done.

We only really got up and about in the last, but it was too late.

Selections. 

Weideman 4 touches and totally out of form last week and still selected this week was outmarked 13 times today. Smith or pederson would have been better. 

as an example. 

Is the captaincy having an impact on jack Viney form??

its round four and worrying patterns are emerging regarding our defence

After that 3rd q never deserved to win but did anyone see that Freo player get his foot to that last goal?

They review all sorts of BS but not that????

I'm as gutted as anyone, but just to keep some perspective, we have played some very good footy this year, with some very good players out of the side.

We lost this game in one quarter today, we threw the win away last week against a top 4 side. 

Doesn't excuse it, but just a reminder that it is an even comp and we are right in the mix if we can keep it all together and get that consistency.

    The tough on baller won his second Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Trophy in a narrow battle with skipper Max Gawn and Alex Neal-Bullen and battled on manfully in the face of a number of injury niggles.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
