    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??????????

    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?

    • 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.

      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?
