    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.

    43 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

    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: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
