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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
