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.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
