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

Well I hope that this stimulates our guys to pull their collective fingers out and crush the Hawks.

    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

    Maybe we should have a gold star for every premiership on the jumper. Thinking a logo that incorporates multiple elements of our heritage would also be great

    I noticed that Freo had gold stars on their jumpers last night. It didn’t help them.

    Endless search for perfection’: Scott optimistic scary Cats can get even better

    This is a headline from The Age after the decimation of Fremantle. Fremantle played bad for sure but are plagued by injuries and are not a top 8 side. Darcy and Fyfe both played with injuries. Rory Lobb went out injured. Walters a mere shadow of his devastating past. Talk about us drinking bathwater. Theirs must taste real good. A decade of beating up  poor sides only to wimp out in finals, that is Geelong.

    If ever there was a reason to want to finish top of the table it is to deny this bunch of flogs

    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. 

    Be Respectful of The Shockers ??

    Why? What have the done since 1995

    The MFC has won 12 Flags so i don’t see any connection. 
     

    Don’t tell me how I should think Stiff

    Was it just me or was the umpiring completely biased to Geelong?  The shockers did themselves no favours, but as a neutral observer the umpire bias was breathtaking

    All good. The Cats are just keeping it warm for us. 
    I just hope they’re housetrained ?

    It is looking more and more likely we will have to beat the Cats in finals to win the flag.  they are the form team of the comp, 9-1 in the last 10. they are clear favourite for the flag imo despite how much I despise them

    Didn't they get done by 10 goals against Brisbane? They'll get killed against sides who can bring the heat as per usual.

    I only watched a few minutes and it was non-frees, for throwing and other incorrect disposals, that blew my mind.  Every time I watch Geelong they get away with it.

    They looked putrid against the lions. I rated them highly until I watched that game, but no longer.

    The trend of this season seems to be over analysing results when the top 4-6 teams absolutely maul the sides below them. It is meaningless (although I do really hope we join in)!

    If the rumours of him and Ellyse Perry are true I’m heading down to the barbers shortly.

    Why stop there? Our players should be living our heritage when they are off the field, but representing our club.☝

    Is there an item of clothing we could get them to wear pre game and in media appearances that would fit the bill? A jacket of some variety perhaps???

    one thing i did see that was notable was that, on the flight from melbourne to carrara, the sydney team was completely decked out in their official tracksuits and looked like a 'team' whereas gw$ looked like a dogs' breakfast of casual clothing

    it was a stark contract in professionalism

    GWS Giants, Sydney Swans, Western Bulldogs to leave Melbourne ASAP to avoid COVID outbreak

    hope you are right.  they have beaten dogs, port away etc.  so I dont think you can dismiss them so quickly

    The positive thing is I think we match up well against them. once we bring the pressure to not let them control the tempo we have the talent around the ground

    Well the Freo v Geelong game certainly did us no favours.

    Tigers v Lions on a comparatively balmy evening at the Gold Coast.

    Hipwood out.. 

    Go Tiges !!

  • Quote

    I wouldn't be making any conclusions about Geelong based on the game last night. Freo's performance reminded me of the bad old demons. 

    And if Freo continue to deliver putrid performances like they did last night it won;t be long before Justin Longmuir comes under the spotlight. They were unwatchable last night.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
