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

    Haha yeah one of the iconic images of the broadcast. 

    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: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
