What an absolute bunch of fickle dullards Fremantle supporters are. They bought potential. For some reason, every time Fremantle pay a large price for a player, their supporters think that player is going to be a saviour and bring them instant success. Losers.

    The problem for Dogga is that with us he could play on potential for another 2 years and do some nice things occasionally. Freo feel like they paid a lot for him now, so they want results now. 

    I still think he’s gunna be a gun, but they won’t get consistent value until 2025.

    100%. With us he was on icing on top player, with them, he'll be expected to be a dominant player which right now, he isn't capable of. 

    I hope for Jacksons sake he thrives under pressure because he's going to have to. Could quickly become a whipping boy if he doesn't progress fast enough.

    I may be wrong but he looked a little overweight to me.

    Anyway, we will get him back in a couple of years, when they tire of him not living up to their expectations.

    Didn't catch the Essendon game, but saw that Weid kicked 2. Good on him!

    I have zero sympathy for him. This is what he wanted and so he must now put up with it.

    Freo FD are the actual ones to blame - they need a KPF and Jackson is not one. They should have encouraged LJ to sign for another 2 years with us and let him develop some more before recruiting a readymade.

    GOOD! He chose to leave!

    He certainly looks like he has gained some kg's around the waist.

    Can't believe he didn't take a mark. He will soon realise being the number 1 ruck is going to be tough work. Expectations will be high

    That’s an insane number of pages devoted to just two teams.  Why would you do it to yourself?!

    That's why they're who they are and they are exactly who we thought they were. 

    I don't love the word but they are indeed losers.

    Agree, that not a single mark is pretty concerning!

    Inside at marvel too.

    Which by the by looked awful.

    Jackson looked unfit to my eye - too heavy. If true, I'd be furious I I was a freo fan.

    You can excuse a scratchy debut.

    But if there is no injury, or similar (eg post season surgery that impacts on preseason preparation) there is no excuse for a boom recruit you've paid through the nose for and who you've gambled your future on (by giving up draft picks) not being in cherry ripe condition round one.

    Weed on the other hand looked in ripping nick.

    To be fair we only took 2 contested marks, both maxy.

    I couldn't believe that stat. I had ti check again coz it didn't seem right. The dogs had nine by way of comparison.

    Was thrilled for him. He looked very good and genuinely happy.

    A new start was the best thing for him.

    They were bagging him out the moment the trade happened.  That was my biggest worry, that they'd treat him the same way as they treated Hogan. They're vipers at Freo

    The Perth fish bowl can eat you up and spit you out pretty quick.. just ask Hogan.

    Not entirely sure Jackson and his family really took that into consideration when they were pressuring him to come back.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • 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.
