Well done Frosty. Keep sticking it up the haters & the doubters.  Played on their talls as well as Walters at various times and was terrific.  Doubtless, the haters will only focus on the 2 mistakes instead of the 10 positives.

    Was interesting to see May barking at the players in the back 50 and setting them up from all standing bunched together.

    Just need to focus on the younger players and hope like hell they learn to settle and calmly hit their target.

    Noticed that, who does he think he is Jordan Lewis ?

    But that is the value of experience, because Lever is only 70 games approx and some people expect him to be the backline guru

    Frosty was great. Can we please move Frisch forward, his disposal is still a worry down back,

    Agree on both.

    Frost's last quarter arguably won us the game.

    From the top of the ponsford I had a great view of his intercept mark in the last. Made the decision early and backed himself in, then made the next kick. Critical contest as we scored a terrific gogoa l after to tacking it down the ground. 

    I want fritter kicking the ball to out forwards.

    Petty was excellent and May played well. Marty hore was solid again.

    Jones should still be ashamed for that 50 metre penalty. I just watched it a couple of times

    shocking to do that

    Maybe, but only becuase Walters flops every game

    The turn-around in form from a handful who have been down was good.  Lockhart and May were very good.  The desperation was good.  Flying the flag for team-mates was very good.  Hope next week is good!

    Didn't mean to put a downer on it for you guys who watch for the wins in pointless games in failed seasons. Enjoy it.

    Just my opinion that we were fortunate with their injuries. Obviously a win is a good outcome.

    It’s just pathetic that it’s your first and only response to a win. You deserved the whack you got for it.

    Yeah, we were fortunate they were two down. Thanks Captain Obvious. Doesn’t mean we absolutely would’ve lost without it. So what you said isn’t even true.

    Fritsch has gotta stay wing/forward, he had some ripper kicks inside 50 today (whilst also acknowledging some average ones).

    Just plain dumb by a captain who should know better. Walters was always going to go down like he had been shot.

    Yep, we have lost plenty due to injury during a game. I have no problem enjoying this result.

    Wouldn't have won in Freo weren't two players down. 

    Even when we win, we can't win.

    One of our biggest weaknesses is on field leadership and organization. We got Lever and May not only for their footballing ability, but because they’re leaders and generals. Great to see May organizing troops and playing well again today. He’ll be a huge asset for the backline for the next few years. Love him!

    Petracca had a great game today. Really got involved and threw his weight around. Great to see him switched on for longer periods and staying involved. Hopefully this is the start of his return to damaging form.

    It's the story of the year.

    Leading the inside 50's and not kicking enough score to win.

    Maybe this is the resurgence with Viney, TMac and Weed doing well

    Just of late, Petracca seems to have developed a footy IQ. I've been negative about him for a little while now but there are small signs in regards to getting into the right spot, making smart decisions and not trying to do too much in possession.

    12 point turnaround 

    Not what a captain should do. 

    Do it after the goal is scored at least!!

    Feels good to have a win.

    Goes to show that when players such as Viney and McDonald play to their potential we look a much better side.

    Forward line looked much better, with a bit more space and good movement.

    Dumb and all as it was...

    It was better than the first game against Port where we stood by and watched Max cop it from them without a whimper.

    At least we had some passion in the game and Jones was supporting a teammate.

    If I had my choice I would take this.

    • 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?

      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.
