What they're saying down at Cockburn

  • Center clearances were embarrassing. Gawn did the same thing every time and we had no answer, such dumb football and bad coaching. I feel like Goodwin came in with a plan to take our game way and JL had no answers. 

  • Disappointing loss. We looked quite fatigued and Melbourne cracked in and attacked. couldn’t spread with them. Gawn the difference in the end; we have a big list problem with no viable second ruck after Jackson. Mcdonald did his best but not his role.

  • I didn't expect Darcy to beat Gawn by any means but I did expect him to put up more of a fight than that, he was good last week, but Gawn is just an elite player in every metric, wasn't going to be a good day for Darcy.

  • Gawn may be the ruckman of this generation but honestly what we're paying Darcy. Gawn shouldn't be giving him a bath like that.

  • Tigers will beat Melbourne next week. Something putrid like 73-59. Melbourne gambled by running forwards at every opportunity. There’s literally one bloke to blame and that’s Darcy. Provided absolutely nothing. You could blame our entire midfield, but Gawn put it on a platter.

  • There were 3 players who could potentially win the game fro Melbourne - Pickett, Gawn and Petracca. If there was a plan in place to nullify them it wasn't clear. Meanwhile our best player was tagged out of effectiveness. Our Coach is looking more and more like Alfred E. Nueman every day.

  • Gawn says out midfield best in comp ; proceeds to get clowned.

  • I have never seen anyone get as comprehensively dominated on a football field like Darcy was against Gawn.

 Everything else

  • We're a conditional footy club, it's a simple as that. We choose when we want to turn up and play. To lose to a team who's lost most of the quality in their forward and defensive lines is a disgrace. Melbourne won because they brought the effort.

  • If we're a serious footy club, we should be beating this Melbourne side comfortably. But [censored] and unimaginative coaching costs us again.

  • Melbournes one weapon was gonna be their centre bounce so it’s nice knowing we did absolute **** all to try and combat it

  • Peak Dockery.

  • Scored against so easily by a team that hasn't been able to score all year

  • Crows and Saints away are tougher games on paper. Could easily be season done the next 2 weeks.

  • Most disappointed I didn’t plonk money on Demons when they were $3.90

  • Conceding 16 goals to a side that's been averaging <70 scores for the last 5 weeks (and a decent chunk of last season) is peak Freo

  • Everyone came in thinking Goodwin would be sacked after this game, but it was JL that should probably get sacked. Defence and centre bounce has been an issue all year. Melbourne walked it out the front of stoppage, and they did that to us in the pre-season. We are way too aggressive at centre bounce where it is almost disrespects the opposition

  • Triple M said in their call: in Fremantle's entire existence, we've never won a game after trailing by 18 points or more at 3 Quarter time. Isaac Smith said that was proof there is an ingained culture problem at the club. I'm inclined to agree after witnessing that zero effort performance. Our performances are way too erratic to be finals worthy.

  • We let Harrison Petty kick four goals ffs

  • That makes us 1-1-9 in the last 11 close games under Longmuir

  • It's good the AFL if Melbourne aren't 0-6

  • Realistically we haven’t beaten anyone. Dogs - numerous outs. Good win, but at home with those outs and really we only won 10 mins of that game. Eagles - genuinely were horrendous against us. That is a 60+ point win to other teams when Eagles play like they did. Tigers - ran out of steam and jumped us. Only led by 10 at halftime v one of the worst sides assembled. Geelong the only good team we’ve played and they destroyed us. Swans - huge injuries and crawled over the line. Demons - horrid line up and they fisted us. It makes for genuine horror start considering we’ve been gifted an easy start.

  • To think both Lever and May were out for the demons.

  • Melbourne's selections reminded me of early-2017/18 when Ross made like 6-7 changes in a couple of games and we snaffled the odd victory. I expect the Dees to return back to hot garbage soon.

  • Demons kicking out of the backline carved us up (on the odd occasion they didn't win the centre clearances)

  • Man… I really want Pickett. Forget premierships, he’s just exciting to watch. If that was an audition he passed in every sen

    It may as well be me...

    Was this in Koz's motivation kit today?

    It's peak upset interstate fan to think the same people who gave Melbourne opening home games against GWS, Gold Coast and Freo could care less about us.

    Probably good to have a beer with and hate on the filth

    Like the Brisbane fans

    On a similar note, from a FB post of them all whining about not getting a free kick for that Dick guy in the last quarter:

    Only one thing worse than the umpiring...Kelly Underwood...oh my aching 👂

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
