How f'ing hard is it for our back to pick up an opponent when the ball is in our f50, knowing that it's likely the ball will slingshot into their f50?

Dumb football

    We're Fremantles [censored] unfortunately. They've had it over us for years for some inexplicable reason despite being a bog average side.

    So Freo just run players forward as they know they'll win most of the ground ball comtests and just sling shot it with speed via quick hands then the long kick out the back.

    The only way to counter that is to either win more one v one contests, dont turn the ball over so often and/or play man on man for a while.  The latter is something we seem incapable of bringing at all, let alone for 10 or so minutes.

    I just don't know why they have to push so relentlessly high.

    Well done Windsor. Ffs just hurt them if you can’t do anything else.

    Goody simply has to go at years end. No it’s not all on him this woeful performance, but he’s the bus driver and has lost control.

    [censored] senior players are an embarrassment today

    thoroughly disgusted with this performance

    hang your heads in shame senior players. getting smashed by Freo not once but twice is pathetic beyond belief

    i'm turning this rubbish off and taking the dog for a walk. much better use of my time.

    Like him but Kade Chandler has probably been gifted too many games.

    Theres no point in complaining. We were never set up to win. Not this game or this season. Inexcusable to make your list worse in the off season and we went and did that.

    Perhaps Lever and May are just following the Game Plan.

    I’ve never been this disappointed in Viney. I love the bloke but start hitting them hard

    Truly embarrassing. 

    Same thing, every time. 

    Have we caught on? 

    Nope. 

    Nibbler needs to play midfield all game now. Nobody can defend like him.

    Where's the pride. Your meant to come out breathing fire after a team has done what Freo did last time. Same with the Pies and Blues game. Just no heart. 

    So far we've dropped 3.4%. Drop another 2% and we'll go below the Dawks.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
