Really should have worked him into the Jackson trade a couple years ago. Perhaps we tried and were rebuffed. Think@Redleg was calling for it at the time.

We never asked.

    Has Luke Jackson won possession at all so far tonight? He's always buzzing around contests looking vaguely like he's doing something but never seems to actually impact the play.

    Was just about to say the same thing. 5 possessions half way through the second. Getting smashed when in the ruck. A much better player than that.

    Is it just me, or is Daicos going off because of an "injury" when his tagger is beating him a bit sus.

    Sadly that didn't age well.

    Still fairly pedestrian, but you are right 😎

    Granted his missed games due to suspension, but Houston is having a very ordinary year....

    Thankfully the POS isn't playing so I don't have to look at his ugly head.

    However Crisp is almost as bad.

    Dunno who the POS even is but Collingwood have no shortage of ugly mugs I'd rather not look at.
    Mason Cox at the top of the list.

    Longmuir has to be about on his last legs as coach of Freo, surely?

    With the list he has, they should be doing much better than their current output. Their game plan is worse than ours.

    Not too sure I’d be salivating over the prospect of bringing LJ back in a hurry either. Hasn’t done too much in his time over their and has stagnated badly, particularly for the $ he would be on.

    The Shockers are having a crack, but they are also hoping for something to happen rather than creating it

    Gosh freo are pathetic. Playing at home & can't even beat a Collingwood team that's resting a number of good players.

    If they were based in Melbourne, they'd be copping a lot more heat

    Yes, being very reactive and not proactive.

    The Pies work off the ball is off the charts. That’s why they’re in so many games.

    Good to see Freo have been closely copying the Mbourne strategy of bombing it mindlessly i50 to a opposition player.

    Imitation is the highest form of flattery!

    He seems to have plateaud since leaving us. And still rarely takes a clean one-grab mark

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
