High level summary

  • There are 29 comments similar to this: Melbourne are sh*t and will struggle to make the eight.
  • There are 239 comments that bag their players and coach.

Jesse

  • Melbourne screwed us big time. Pick 6 and 23 was way overs for what Hogan had produced to then, regardless of how he performed for us.
  • Anyone hear the Melbourne guy on the purple reign pod the other day? He said Hogan was a good player to sneak in the back for cheap goals even at his best, and that if he was a freo fan he would have been disgusted that we paid the price we did for him, even back in 2018.
  • That Hogan trade in the end will have cost us a premiership. That draft was the best in years and we skipped it.
  • There’s talk it could be the best draft of all time.
  • Hogan would have been handy today.

May

  • We were out positioned and out marked all game. May and the other bigs too good. Other than that both teams need to improve significantly to threaten the top 8 this year.
  • Schultz smashing May was quite fun to watch, May putting him in a soft headlock afterwards, talk about a bruised ego.
  • May is one of those players that dishes it out (his tribunal record attests to that), but not good at taking it.
  • Our midfield lacks class and run on the outside. Resulting in May and Lever dominating the air.

Max

  • Meek admirable but Gawn was just way too good.
  • Great effort by Meek, didn’t do too much but neither did Gawn. Played his role against the best ruck in the comp.

. . . and so on and so forth

  • Shocked to be writing this but Goodwin out coached Longmuir. At selection, strategy and during the game.
  • It was 2016 level bad. Thankfully it was only against Melbourne who are also a bucket of sh*t.
  • Yeah we just pumped life back into Tom McDonald.
  • Fyfe is making no impact as a forward. It’s a waste.
  • They scored about 10 goals from turnovers.
  • Death, taxes and a sh*t Freo attack.
  • We made Melbourne look good today which says how bad we really are.
  • Henry was outpointed by Jetta whom is a very good small defender.
  • Im going to say this quietly, we looked a lot better when Hamling and Pearce went off injured.
  • “Just had a bad day” 6 years
  • At Freo coaches come and go, head fitness guys come and go, trades come and go, draftees come and go but since the end of 2015 nothing has changed long term to make us a more competitive side. This is looking like a perpetual rebuild at this moment so only another 5 years to go and we will make it to 9th on the table.
  • One positive from today- Treacy has just kicked his 3rd goal in the first quarter playing for peel against Claremont.
  • Melbourne probably being harder for longer, that really felt like a game we coulda/shoulda won. So many wasted opportunities in the 1st and 4th qtrs when we had all the momentum.
  • *6 goals in a half. FFS... this is so "Freo".
  • Good thing we are doing the extra skills training. It's paying dividends.

This graphic says it all. Our best were better, our bottom half of the team just killed us.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
