Contested possession - Freo +28!!

stoppages Freo +7 (5-12) 

forward turnovers  dees 7 score nil 

forward turnovers Freo 13 goals 8 

Hunter - 2 missed tackles weak  

Petty is nothing  can’t mark can’t tackle 

Turner gives nothing  out marked and out run by defenders 

Sparrow  Rivers fumbles 

Sparrow on Young  young giving him a bath 

Trac  30 metre angle - left foot snaps wtf !!! Use right foot 

Freo  kick run mark skills 😡😡

Best players  NIL

    OLIVER ZERO CONTESTED POSSESSIONS IN A HALF OF FOOTY

    VINEY WITH ONE

    WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THIS MIDFIELD?!

    It has been run into the ground by a severe lack of depth and quality rotations. Our recruiting has been diabolical.

    The Goodwin gameplan has severely under valued speed and transition on top so we are now overly reliant on centre breaks and dominance at half back.

    This midfield implosion has been in the making for at least 2 yrs.

    Not really surprised after the eagles game.

    Oliver is a shadow of his old self.

    Tracca has been quiet this year too.

    Sparrow is lucky to get games.

    And then there is our fwd line.

    We don't have one. 

    We are shot and we have few coming up through the ranks.

    Our dominance is well and truly over.

    It's back to the dark old days.

    Or at least mediocrity.

    Two Freo players hold the ball and effectively tackle each other Nibbles tackles them. No holding the ball. WTF???

    Didn’t we have a 51 point comeback with Austin back in the day haha, we’re gonna need exactly that to win and restrict them the nil.

    Go dees! Gotta laugh because I feel like crying. This isn’t system adjustment stuff, this is just sad. 

    Except for the first 5 minutes, they are making us look amateurs...

    Freo pressure and system totally killing us, easily moving end to end and blocking all exits. 

    No pressure or even fight around contest, unlike free around the contest.  

    Pity any dees supporters that flew up the watch. 


    Worst first half since 2018 prelim. 3rd grossly uncompetitive display this season. WTF is going on?

    absolutely terrible effort, while max is getting the tap out it is going to the opposition and they are clearing the ball, he need to get the ball to our players. when it goes the freo players out of the ruck, our midfield is not putting pressure on them. why they hell do we not man up they are running rings around us with this stupid zone game we play. collingwood and north must be loving this.


    Heads will roll for this performance. Something is seriously wrong with this club. West coast, now this. Need to step back and rethink the list

    Not trading Petty to Adelaide is one of our bigger list mistakes in a long time

    We would be lucky to get a bag of old marbles for him .

    One disposal for a half.

    No marbles.

    Edited by leave it to deever

    In reality ...selling the game is NOT the real issue.

    Getting thumped is..

    We play like yoyos 

    Team is very over-rated imo... sorry to say.

    Nice the lads have a good mate in  Simon

    Kum by ya ...

    Go Dees ( back to the airport....just go home..... youre obvious not interested)

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • 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.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
