    Dermie saying Tom Greene has the best sleight of hand of any current player has obviously been shunted to watch too many matches at crappy venues and hasn’t seen Clarry play. 

    Dermie pontificates but without any real appreciation of modern football KPIs

    he lives off his past to justify his understanding of the present

    Why is it some players get free for high contact when they’re bending over for the ball and it’s play on for others?

    This idiocy/inconsistency goes on in every game, every week. Nothing changes

    Just looked at Freo's run home. Only likely to beat WC and Carlton. Sydney is 50/50. All at home.

    I would be less concerned about how bad Fremantle are going, and more concerned about how well GWS are playing. They will be very hard to beat in two weeks.

    I've only watched since half time Dub but they are poor beyond belief.

    On what I've seen, the scoreboard is actually flattering them.

    i know it was cos of the 'no dikkhead' policy, but just imagine if we'd taken toby greene ahead of dom tyson...

    I know what you mean, but if Green comes to the club over Tyson then the sliding doors thing means we probably don’t get Oliver and Petracca in future years. 
    Did we actually have the chance to get Green anyway?

    Trigger warning.

    Clearly, freo are uber fatigued. They have no run in their legs AT ALL, hence no overlap run, spread or ability to cover outlet kicks or slow the giants' transition at all. 

    The goal the giants kicked in the last second of the third was the perfect example. 

    No question in my mind they are in the middle, or had just completed a heavy block of aerobic conditioning.

    Probably expansion why giants were short priced favorites.

    I note this because we have been in the same boat the last three season, including this year.

    Fatigue has been a factor in our surprising  mid season losses. 

    But WE HAVE NEVER folded like freo are now. All our losses have been close.

    We have willed ourselves to keep in touch, have pushed through the pain and fatigue barrier. As dees, fans, should be proud of, and laud those efforts,

    Freo have done the opposite.

    Hugely concerning attitude and mindset.

    Alarm bells ringing if you are a freo fan.

    What are they loading for? At this rate they’ll be lucky to finish above 13th?!

    I note there is a question in our mid season review podcast thread about loading. Perhaps bring this example up.

    Good question.

    I suspect they think they are contenders.

    Remember Scott's comment last year explaining why they had embraced the dees mid season increased block around the bye period?

    He said they'd rather miss the 8 because they lost matches due to going hard than go into the finals without the conditioning to win the flag.

    Give up some battles to increase the chance of winning the war.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
