Umpiring is a [censored] disgrace

Alex Pearce’s hair is magnificent. 10/10. 

My Dad is obsessed 😂

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


May was literally tackled in the marking contest how was that a freo free? 

 

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?

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
