I’m sorry, but to not even score in a quarter is inexcusable. Especially considering that we were 3 goals up going into the last.

We were 3 goals up because we had the wind for 2 of the 3 quarters.

Freo scored 1 goal in the first and third. We scored 1 goal in the second. 

The game was going to tighten up in the last and make scoring in to the wind incredibly hard.

1 goal 4 in the 3rd quarter was where we lost it.

Lost it in the 3rd quarter.  Didn’t take our chances. 
 

Skills again were poor for most of the day 

 

Too few were carrying the team. How must McNamara feel ?? She starred and has at least been a bright light this year.   

 By the way, 30 seconds and Kate Hore kicks it straight out of bounds in defensive 50. Very strange.  Panicked. Skill error was horrible.  

 

Over the last few years I've come to greatly admire Kate Hore's composure and leadership. That last minute from her was so uncharacteristic.
She also didn't seem to be able to gather the group to resist Fremantle's momentum.

A pretty bleak day for her, but hope she'll find a way to get the season back on track because it's pretty quickly going down the gurgles.

Heading back to Melbourne. Feeling gutted and simply cannot understand the umpiring. It appeared that there were two completely different interpretations of the holding the ball rule. If Melbourne were tackled holding the ball if Freo was tackled ball it up. Home state umpires do not work

Amazing how these girls still cannot hit a target at times

It was shocking, often running away from the player when coming out of defence instead of leading up.  Given how far they can kick weird decision making.  I was near the bench for the first half, a few comments from those there of the team not making the right decisions and they need to teach it at training.

The female umpire was terrible, the guy was pretty consistent. 

 

Umpiring won them the game I thought you had to tackle them to get holding the ball. Massive game against Essendon if we are 1 and 4 it's season over.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
