  • 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?

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
