  • No offence Melbourne fans reading this, this all the hallmarks of a mid-season coach firing.
  • If May doesn't get up we should win it easily IMO.
  • Looking at both forward lines it could end up the lowest score in AFL history.
  • The Cairn's catastrophe was where we took Melbourne's last glimmer of finals hope last season and flushed it down the toilet.
  • Max Gawn likely to do battle with the inexperienced Lloyd Meek. If Meek can just not get absolutely smashed by Gawn then we are in with a good chance.
  • Gawn best on. Tabs will be double teamed by May and Lever all day.
  • Lever seems to be made of the same brittle substance as Sturt.
  • Unfortunately, I think Melbourne win this by 2-4 goals. Too many injuries and no forward line for us.
  • I'll be very surprised if we kick 65 points.
  • They also have no forward line at the moment only Mcdonald who looks very ordinary now days and Fritsch.
  • The hype-train has us playing finals. If that's going to be the case, this game is a 'must win'.
  • The biggest error the club made in the last 5 years was trading for Hogan instead of picking Ben King at the draft.
  • It is highly likely this weekend's AFLW game between the same two clubs will have a bigger scoreline than Melb v Freo in Rd 1.
  • I don't think that either team is going to do much damage in 2021 .... except to their supporters.
  • Melbourne are trash! I hate to say it but If we lose to them we are in the back alley right alongside them!
  • I think we should be good enough to beat Melbourne. Their pre-season has been awful and I don’t see any growth coming in that list from last year. We should win.

    Normal insular comments from a supporter group. To be expected and certainly no worse than those on here who post that we are top 4 material.

    The first comment was a beauty and spot on. Goodwin would be looking for a real estate agent if Freo rolls us this weekend as I think they might.

    I don't think too much of that is wrong to be totally honest.. 

    Realistically it's hard to see either team scoring a whole lot, Gawn is likely to dominate the ruck but we've seen that doesn't mean we will do anything with that dominance. 

    I think our best chance is to play Petracca forward quite a lot. pound for pound he's our best avaliable forward, and we've gotta hope Clarry, Gus and Harmes can get on top in the middle.

    I love it. Footys back and so comes all the rubbish that goes with it. 

    For some reason as a member/supporter you do take offence when really you have almost zero responsibility for how the result will turn out. Likewise, it's absolutely great to give my mates a heap of [censored] when their team is hopeless.

    - Christian Salem is going to give us #3rd degree burns off half back, if we don't put a clamp on him

    I like the AFLW comment. Probably true.

    They must be writing their own articles over there! Have not heard this once!

    Probably fairly accurate.

    Would love to see Clarry pushed into the Forward line for resting spurts if his shoulders are up to it.

    I would love to see these pre-match supporter comments from the opposition re-visited at the end of the year, with awards for comedy, delusion and grammar.  Colingwoad sure to be very short in the latter market.

    Really?  I thought it was quite decent when we beat Richmond despite having half a dozen of our first team sidelined.  I do agree that we were smashed by the Doggies, but Fremantle don't have anywhere near that level of class on their list.

    For a team that has been pretty poor and had a mediocre season their supporters are surprisingly optimistic.

    I will be bitterly disappointed if we lose this game given their outs and the fact it's at the G.... don't let me down Dees

    I know it's dining out on past glories but we have 12 premierships cups in our trophy cabinet. How many does Freo have? That's right. NONE. Losers

    Because of that statement, BDA, you may have now sentenced us to lose against Freo. How could you have been so thoughtless?

    • 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.
