Freo's guernsey is an eyesore

It always has been. Regardless of which one they wear

    So the status is this:

    1. Three more wins guarantees top 2
    2. Two more wins guarantees top 4
    3. One more win is not enough for top 4 unless and until Sydney loses a game (or Port loses twice)

    And if you're wondering, had we beaten Hawthorn then the key difference would be that one win would make us much closer to guaranteeing top 4 - Sydney would have to win all three games and make up 13.5% to pass us on percentage.

    That large percentage buffer over Sydney is useless because of the Hawthorn draw.

    There is no reason why we should not win our next 2. I think we will play geelong twice in a row. It is b/w port and sydney for 4th place. Port better percentage.

    We just have to keep winning. 
    nothing wrong with that

    We need ladder pressure to keep us sharp. If we are too comfortable we invariably muck up.

    Exactly right. Port will win tonight

    Textbook goal kicking over in the West right now.

    Terrible kicking for goal but the 3rd Q of the Freo v Tigers game is great to watch

    There’s something about a team kicking a team lifting goal on the siren and that fox footy music kicking in while everyone gets around each other!

    Is there a reason Fremantle are wearing their old jumper? And can I thank them for ditching it in the first place it’s bloody horrible.

    So glad to see Tigers lose .... 

    McGuire is the worst commentator ever ... just gushing about Richmond the whole time.

    Andrew Brayshaw is Clarry level good. Well potentially. 

    Freo have 8-9 first teamers injured. They will be some team in a year or two

    He is well ahead of his brother,  probably for 2 years now.  He is great to watch. 12 tackles with his 39 touches!

    I thought that was just a Fox Footy thing, anyway I certainly don’t miss that jumper hopefully Gold Coast do the same thing one day.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
