What they're saying down at Cockburn Central (Post game)

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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
