if it had been paid oob deliberately (just saying)

who was the closest freo player?   doggo?   lol

would have been at the 49m mark so kicked probably no closer than 55m. a very difficult kick hard up on the boundary and having to kick directly over the mark.  i know jamie elliot did it but that was a freak kick. Even a point would have been difficult.

given freo's kicking accuracy for the game, i'm tipping it would have been oob on the full

    That's why the footy commentators appear to be bright until you hear them speaking.

    Just a tad ridiculous, even for you Jaded

    And how do you know he hasn't messaged Max to show concern for his knee? More than likely he has, I'd say

    Not even close to ridiculous. He absolutely did our Club a huge disservice. And did so knowingly. There’s no love lost when a player puts himself before anyone else, let alone the entire Club. And there’s no room for a player who decides to come to us KNOWING for sure he wouldn’t be seeing his time out with us. I have it on extremely good authority that this was on his mind for waaaay longer than we knew.

    And you think Jaded is a little too harsh maybe? At least she’s not wishing a season- or even a career-ending injury on him like many in the cheer squad are. 😁 Be it right or wrong to feel that way, what he’s done to our Club, who btw gave him the world, is unacceptable and deserves to be treated as such.

    Oh how I’d love for that scenario to have transpired! Dog(ga) the saviour lining up to pinch the win for his beloved new club, only to miss the lot *contented sigh*

    Wouldn’t mind Sydney having a bruise free 100 point win and feeling comfortable about themselves into next week.

    Clearly facing a team on the rebound worked against us on Friday.

    Hawks giving a reasonable account of themselves here. They just can't convert.

    Still want them to get pasted mind.

    Swans love the 1 / 2 overlap using their FB straight up the guts.  Have to make sure we cover that this week.

    That's their preferred go to pretty much everytime from the kick ins.  Their next option is to try and link up run out wide around the boundary.

    Hope the umps don't go as easy on them as they are so far today.

    Allowed to drop the ball like a hot potatoe when tackled..  no frees called so far on about three of those.  Same as the Lions in the first quarter on Friday.

    I'm still nervous when the ball is in his hands and I hate the hawks.

    i'm not watching the dorks game, but looking at the stats they seem to be matching swans pretty well except for scoring, but being smashed

    Hawks have got both hands firmly on that wooden spoon. And it’s round 2.

    Didn’t think you could make the hawthorn jumper look uglier but I was wrong. 

    You could let Chris Fagan don it.

    Yep they're gonna go close.  No forward line & pretty much no weapons anywhere

    This is just the sort of game Sydney drops.

    Hawthorn beat them easily at the SCG last time .

    Okey-dokey

    If Hawthorn only want to recruit players that will be part of their next premiership then they should be scouting prenatal clinics.

    Hawks need a seasoned and experienced  coach like Clarkson to take over and arrest the malaise.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
