    My Dad is obsessed 😂

    Frederick has really lowered Kosi’s standards today. Poor poor game by him.

    We've been much better in the second half. Gives me hope

    JvR our only forward today. In contrast, hard to find a Freo forward who hasn't had impact


    Turners hands anytime the ball comes his way for a mark, do they extend??????????

    Oh good we have gone to [censored] again. Embarrassing. 

    How the actual [censored] are we always a man down in defence

    Because we are playing extra in the stoppages which we never do normally.

    I can understand them being better, specially if we don't have Max.

    But see how we thought Brisbane would smash us and kick 20 on us? Then with dare and effort we almost won it.

    At least make it a slogfest, low scoring proposition and see what happens. Don't let them kick 7 in a row.

    Anyway, hopefully we can keep the score as close as possible in the last.

    Brisbane are a one paced contested and outside kicking game side.

    You can muck it up against them. Plus they were all over us for the part quarter and a half. 

    Without Gawn we couldn’t really control stoppages or down the line game.

    We’ve muck it up at times then they’ve just gone bang on the counter with speed.

    not the reason we're losing, but this umpiring is shocking

    We knew that would be the case from the start. Had to beat two teams today 


    Darcy went down like two sacks of potato’s… one just isn’t enough

    We are 100 miles of deserving to play finals.

    This trade and draft period will be incredibly important to our success next year and in 2026.

    As the new Tassie team and the northern state academy gifts swallow up the top picks for a number of years, we face an aging list without a ruck, key back and multiple elite midfielders, and that's not to mention no key forwards.

    Nail this trade and draft period and we can compete again for finals. If not, we risk sliding back down to familiar cellar dwelling territory. 

    One thing is clear, we cannot win another flag with this list

    With you all the way on this. In many ways it's been the season from hell. First Clarry, then Brayshaw and Smith, Petracca and now Gawn. What are the odds? Forget finals for me. Be competitive for the remainder of the season and finish as low as possible with respectability.  Not in the camp of play and win a final. Adds 3 weeks to your season. Hope Battle and Baker stay and get a decent pick in the top 10. Be aggressive in the trade as we have cap space and half a dozen delistings. Aforementioned players have good pre seasons, younger players continue to develop and it all looks very different.* Only caveat is numerous other times coming at the rate of knots 😏

    Any reason why they play the exact same bad 90s dance song after every single Freo Goal?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
