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.

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

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
