    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
