  • 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'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 👂

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
