Turnovers.  So lazy. Salem shocking turnovers.  Missed target x2 led to goals to Freo. Why is he even in.  Lazy player. Switkowski. Salem runs off and gets caught out as a non defender!!  Poor 

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 

coach 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.

    Where are the clowns who find every excuse under the sun for our poor performances this season. I want to hear the excuses for this rubbish.

    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)

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
