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.

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

  • 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?
