This Freo Saint's game is some real bad team on bad team action.

I'll have a lot of fun death-riding Fremantle this year.

    This Saints Freo game is not even worthy of a Sunday twilight time slot. Tuesday matinee at best.

    Today's games have been a festival of dross. Can't imagine what it would be like having to watch this stuff week after week.

    You must have a really good memory Chook. I can barely remember anything prior to 2021.

    So Essenscum are on top of the ladder. Vomit.

    Bombers have Suns Saints and Giants to come. If round 5 Demons - Dons is a top of the table clash and we completely derail their season in the space of a couple of hours, it'll be worth it.

    Gees you’d be furious if you gave up so much draft capital for Tim Kelly. Struggle to be in the top 120 players in the comp.

    Two match balls got nicked by some enterprising young fans at the Hawks Bombers game.  Ch7 chose to show it all to the world so every chance this will now be a thing.

    This match is cringe worthy. No pressure, heaps of mistakes and Jacko non existent.

    Freo defn not top 4 material or top 8 by todays showing. Looks like we may get that too 10 pick for Jacko after all. 

    They screwed us. They deserve that karma. 

    Also why is Peter Bell on the bench? Is he also coaching now? 🫠

    Definite micro-manager personality so no surprise.

    So much jogging in this game from both sides, and especially from Jackson. He just doesn't want it enough IMO. His best patch in the grand final at the end of the 3rd quarter should be the intensity he should be aiming for every game.

    The "New Coach Bounce" is a thing, apparently.  All of GWS, North Melbourne, Essendon and (hopefully) St Kilda with a win in round one under a new coach.

    Fantastic win by the Saints considering the outs they have.

    Jackson had no idea how incredibly lucky he was to have absolutely no pressure playing under Gawn. 
    Good luck playing with zero intensity at Freo after they spent so much on you.

    There was a fair bit of that as last year progressed. May rue his decision to leave. Was playing with the best ruckman and two of the best midfielders of the last decade (at least)

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
