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.

    And there goes our percentage buffer. Geelong now ahead of us on percentage. Thanks Freo!

    Thanks Freo, for knocking us out of the finals last year, then playing like two_toed sloths tonight.

    Shame on you Walters for looking like a champion in Cairns, then disgracing yourself tonight.

    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.

Why show humility? ha ! weve been the butt end of everyone elses jokes for the last 2 decades....like you say it might not last ....so let ppl have a bit of fun with it huh.. after so much failure, nice to see some posters have a bit of a laugh for once.

    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: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
