Too many Suns players refused to fight it out. Mabior Chol standing while his opponent ran away from him, after getting the ball while Chol watched,as an example.

Run that game out and they could have won it. Very disappointing. 

...and wouldn't hit up the ball. Continually wanted to get the easy one over the back.

They really are struggling to get a consistent effort.

As for Freo...unless something changes they look like a bottom 6 team.

He was very poor last night. Didn;t contest at all. No second effort. Poor body language waving his hands in the air ala Jesse Hogan. If he was a teammate of mine i would have given him some direct feedback post-game.

And i should have said, Ben King wasn't much better.

 

The fact is that Freo were 4 goals down late in the 3rd quarter against probably the unfittest team in the comp who couldn’t run the game out. I found it amusing they were carrying on when they got the win, they won’t win too many if they keep playing like that.

And isn’t the Norwood oval just as pretty as a postcard picture?

At least he has a bit of an excuse...but he really might as well not been there.

Apart from one mark I'm not sure he did anything else.

Enough of their players have been in the system for a while now.

I think the issue is the work is being left to too few.

A lot of lazy footballers.

Not sure what GC saw in Mac Andrew to draft him so high.

I wonder if we would have taken him if he got through to our first pick.

The AFL need to get Hardwick to GC next year. He's done at Richmond and they're heading down the Hawthorn route under him, but he could make a difference at the Suns.  I don't like him but then I don't like Clarkson or Lyon either and they are improving their new clubs.

Longmire would be even better but why would he leave the young Swans who are on the rise?

I don't think Simpson and Hinkley have a hard enough edge to fix what's wrong up there.

I agree. Hardwick or Buckley are the only true options for Gold Coast in my opinion. If poor old Yze went there he'd be chewed up and spat out.

You’re sitting at the draft table in 2021 and you have a choice at pick 19 -

Andrew or van Rooyen.

What’s your choice?

Buckley is too smart to get back into coaching I think.

Anyway sorry to all for derailing the deathride. May it roll again next week.

Rawhide!

after 5 rounds, i had flagmantle having a 4-1 record 

so to have them sitting 2-3 is a win imo

tough run upcoming

And they barely got those two wins.

Overall Freo's display has been underwhelming to say the least.

Agree. They were ordinary, just beating an ordinary team, with plenty of passengers.

Is it just me, or has Rowell gone backwards? I saw him have no effect at all on the game.

No, not just you. I was saying the same with regard to Rowell to someone this morning.

He's not a big mid (similar size to Viney I would guess but Vin has much more mongrel) and the shoulder injuries seem to have set him back.

Not sure whether he will realise the promise of his early games.

Both him and O'Meara came into the game with such a blaze of glory but have become so run of the mill.

I guess that's why it's dangerous to heap expectations on a young player...Hogan and Daniher also come to mind.

His bro comes up in this year's draft. I believe he's in our academy, but not sure. We have 4 picks in the first 2 rounds, so maybe!

Did you think Jackson spent much time on ball?

It appeared to me they wanted to use the advantage they had with Darcy.

Be interested in the stats for his time on ball and centre bounce appearances.

I think Darcy was more on the ball than LJ and you are probably right, that they saw it as an advantage against a 2nd gamer.

Amazing how many media ‘experts’ were talking up a Richmond renaissance in the preseason. Even after we belted them in a practice game, you had Whately carding on about it being like racehorse training and that Richmond were holding back and letting their stable mate show their hand. Complete nonsense

Ah Gil Favor, Rowdy Yates, Wishbone and Mushy.

Good show.

Hardwick would be good for them and maybe getting away from Victoria, with his new partner, would be good for him as well.

  • The Clayton Oliver Thread

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

      • Thanks

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
