Freo have put the cue in the rack. I think they'll struggle to win a game for the rest of the season from here. As the Beatles once said, "Hello Pick 4, my old friend"

I think you are referencing Simon and Garfunkel: Hello darkness my old friend, from the song, the Sounds of Silence.

    Simon and Garfunkel, surely?  From 'The Sounds Of Silence'.

    Freo's only soft game coming is against West Coast

    Wouldn't bet on it...WC will be aiming for a win before seasons end and this will be the one.

    They're starting to get some troops back.

    Sounds of Silence has been covered by a band called "Disturbed" who the Dockers should hire to do a rendition of their club song.

    Walker stretchered off with a knee injury, possible dislocation.

    Take no joy in seeing players injured. Hope there's no structural damage and he doesnt have to spend long on the sidelines.

    Not celebrating the injury. Reckon Darcy is one of the best rucks in the comp but a Darcy-less Dockers can only help the Death Ride.

     

    Darcy is one of my favourite non Demons. He looks like a burger eating, cigarette smoking suburban footballer who has mistakenly wandered onto an AFL ground. I hope his injury isn’t bad

    Actually felt a bit bad for him, hope to never be in that position in my life. 

    I felt sorrier for the [censored] wearing blonde wigs and looking stupid as well as disappointed.

    Funny, reality is that he's religious and enjoys a red.

    I'd like to hear Painters and Dockers do the Freo Dockers' song.

    Sydney beating Dogs, Carlton beating Port, and GC beating the Saints, are all fantastic results as part of this deathride.

     

    Richmond, Hawthorn and Adelaide wins tomorrow will be icing.

    Probably about what every other teams supporter says about our captain - you know the bloke that had the ciggy in the car on the freeway on the way to training! 😂

    Hoping Swans can do the right think and beat Freo in WA next week!!!! If they do it would be very likely we will get pick 4 or 5.

    If Richmond win tomorrow as expected, Freo are nicely cemented in the bottom 4

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
