    What is wrong with Freo? They look second rate, bottom 4 stuff. 
     

    umpiring so far this round has been a complete joke.

    So Fremantle are the GOAT when they play against us and completely useless every other week. Seems fair. 
     

    Another year of Cats being good. Can’t wait.

    Great first 1/4 for the year for Luke.

    Kicks:  0

    Marks:  0

    H'balls:   2

    At least he's breaking even on hitouts with part-timer SDK I guess.

    Evens out with their Perth commentary crew which is excruciatingly parochial towards their home town teams

    Don't knock Kayo.

    Thursday nights now with Hamish makes Ch 7 unwatchable.  There's only so many times you can use the word 'unbelievable' in a broadcast.  Someone get Hamish a thesaurus please.

    Mrs Redleg after that disgraceful free and goal to Danger, just called the umpires cheats. Cox was not given a second and the ball was behind him between Danger’s legs. Commentators also too scared of losing their fat contracts to call what they are seeing.

    I told her that the umpires are at least consistent. Geelong has had the umpiring their way at that ground for 125 years.

    What about Dangers ‘one handed handball’ l a few moments earlier.

    I know it's the Cats but I wouldn't be overly disappointed if Freo get pummelled today.

    I’ve been watching the cats V Freo for 20 minutes - And I don’t think there has been any foot skills worth mentioning at all.

    Freo simply cannot hit a target unless they are 20m clear.

    Cats are applying some pressure, but nowhere near the past couple of nights.

    Yes saw that. 

    Dempsey just dropped it and play on then Stengle throws it and play on and then 3rd or 4th free kick goal to Cats.

    This is as bad umpiring as you will see.

    Agree with Mrs Redleg. Commentators too gutless to call out obvious umpire cheating.

    Can someone explain the appeal of going to freo, they are perennial underachievers. If they were a Victorian team they would be like the saints

    I hate the bloke, but Chris Scott will go down as one of the best coaches of all time. 
     

    He has picked the Freo game plan apart and made them look 2nd rate.

    If I was still playing.
    When standing the mark, close to goal, Iike Stengel just kicked. 
    I would wait until the last minute, and then rush at the player about to kick, and flatten them.

    Probably give away a 50m.

    Might get a report – unlikely.

    But players would always be nervous if you were on the mark.

    If there was no prior opportunity then incorrect disposal doesn’t come into play

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
