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.

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
