Please explain how we lost to Freo??

We lost deliberately.

Tricked freo into thinking they were a top 4 chance.

So they figured they better load hard to be cherry ripe preliminary final day.

Did so, and barely raise a trot in this game. No run at all.

    Redundant question. Too many variables. Should we also be wondering how we’re any chance to beat GWS? Again, too many variables.

    Bedford 7 tackles. Those tackles would be handy in our forward half.

    No wonder the club was [censored] off losing him.

    David King is paid to analyze the game and had Freo as his 4th seed twelve days ago. Someone needs Champion Data to go and audit his continual [censored] calls.

    " and we will never surrender ...'
    Great win GWS. Very happy. Surely that makes it too hard for Freo finals now?

    Sad to see him go, but if it came down to a choice between him and chandler would you prefer Toby ?

    Hibbo or May to Greene? Might explain a potential rest for Hibbo.

    After our Pies win, I'm sure we will have our mojo back but Gws looked like the team of a few years back.

    Freo are an average team this year with a full team most of the year barring Darcy today. We were well off when we played them.

    Prior to this year, Toby, but I'm happy with Chandler. I'd like both of them.

    Almost certainly, Bedford would have also been a regular this year.

    Freo were pathetic. 70 point loss to GWS is good riddance to them for this season.

    We were so poor against them. Very Melbourne to miss out on a top 5 pick because we lost to the 6th worst team on our home deck…

    I think our travel may have played a part.

    Fair play to the Tiges cheer squad for actually drawing a caricature of Trent Cochin on their run through instead of sticking on a big photocopied piece of paper. Old school.

    They paint everything! Anything that can be painted, they’ll paint it. And if you ask them why they’ll simply say, “we like painting.”

    Now for the Cotchin show

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
