The night hasn’t started well for a death ride. Hawthorn want this Harley Reid character more than we do.

Let's hope WC can beat them to the tank

    Freo's guernsey is an abomination.

    I think Freo has delivered more Guernseys this season than  wins 🤔🤔

    Goodbye pick 4, we barely knew thee.

    Don't worry this is the only easy game Freo has. They have a very tough fixture in the next 5 weeks, including us at the G.

    Hawks are a joke

    The annoying thing is they'll bring in CJ and Bruest and ramp up the intensity to have good optics against good opposition. We'll still win, but it probably won't be easy.

    My appetite for death riding this weekend was quashed. when I saw the hawks outs. I hate the Hawthorn footy club.

    Hopefully normal service resumes next week and the Swans give Freo a touch up at the SGC.

    Anyway, back to the game. I expect the Hawks to take it right to the Dockers until late into there 3rd quarter, and then pull on the handbrake.

     

     

     

    Got that wrong.

    I'm wishing for a 100-point shellacking.

    Sydney are absolute trash at the moment, but surely they’ll give Freo a hiding.

    Freo have beaten Hawks and Eagles and their win over the suns was due to GC choking. Not an impressive form line. I expect the Swans to beat them without too much trouble.

    It is kind of funny hearing the love in the media for the way Freo played last night like it was a big achievement. Anyone can drive a car safely for 5 minutes, let's see them in a Grand Prix under actual pressure.

    Season over if they don’t. You can’t make up 3 and 6. Not this year.

    I think I'm out...it's too hard supporting one AFL team let alone another (the one playing Freo).

    We will get a top 10 pick, can't see them making the 8.

    Anything higher than 10 will be a bonus.

    We'll be getting a pick as high 4 and as low as 7 imo. Unfortunately North, WC and Hawthorn are all but certain bottom three. Then from 15th - 12th/11th it's anyone's guess but I can easily see Gold Coast, GWS and Richmond finishing above Freo. 

    They have a terrible draw, have a flawed system, are playing without confidence and the players that left last year have left a big hole. 

    Plus there is pressure building from the outside and we know what happened to us in 2019 as the pressure kept building.

    Not sure I'd label them trash given they kicked themselves out of the game against the best team in it atm without Paddy and Rampe.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      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.
