I turned it off. It’s been a hard enough day and I deserve better than watching Freo attempt to play football and Geelong raising their percentage.

    I noticed that Geelong has a small "1859" on the back of their jumper at the top (the GPS pocket).

    I don't think we have any reference to 1858 on ours, would be good as love the claim of being the oldest football club. Poor old Geelong forever have to be the "second oldest" muhahaha

    Fire up Freo. We need to hold out percentage buffer over Geelong to ensure top 2 finish!

    Need some junk time Fremantle goals here.

    Gap right now has been shortened to 1.2%. Geelong roughly need to outscore Fremantle by 14 points to pass us on percentage tonight.

    Freo??! How did they beat us last year. Tough in the contest. 
    Freo??! v cats tonight. Freo are marshmallows. 
    Cats building percentage and looking very dangerous.

    How embarrassing are Freo? No forward structure, no real forward target all night, even when Lobb was on the ground.

    Geelong's pressure has been good, but their ball use and decision making hasn't been remarkable. Freo are just a rabble.

    Whatley really whacked them on 360 this week and rightly so. All they beat the last 4 weeks were Hawthorn, Carlton and Collingwood. 

    And now they've given Geelong a huge percentage boost. We must pummel Hawthorn on Saturday.

    Geelong doing what they do best. Beat up on weak sides.

    Well few things are more annoying than seeing Geelong on top of the ladder. But destiny, my good friends, remains in our hands in 2021. Hope we really turn it on against the Hawks.

    Really?

    That could equally describe us last 15 years. We were irrelevant for at least a decade. Glass houses

    How many GFs have we played in the last 15 years? How many  brownlows? AAs? Any other measure?

    Be respectful of our failures as much as other club's failures. Show humility, our current success could easily fade.

    Abysmal performance by Freo.

    So annoying that they lost by so much that Jee-long gained heaps of percentage and have overtaken us.

    Freo were putrid. they deserve nothing but scorn after a pathetic performance like that (which has cost us top spot). Not sure why we should be "respecting their failure" just cause we're been rubbish ourselves in the not too distant past

    Percentage could be the difference between a home or inter-state qualifying final. We have to put our foot on the Hawks throat tomorrow. I know its not our style, and we shouldn't take the Hawks lightly, but we need to show the same ruthlessness as Geelong and really put a team to the sword

    And seeing the cats on top of the ladder has ruined the start to my day

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
