    And the umpires didn’t ruin those last few minutes. They let play continue which was great.

    If you want a reason why LJ is such a highly rate player, watch his game today vs Gold Coast. In the air, on the ground, 2nd efforts, effective ruck work, aerobic capacity. Epic game.

    He is a gun. I really hope we can get him back.

    By end of season I reckon we’ll be competing more with the Suns than Freo. Suns are still flakey and will fall away imo

    Win tomorrow and we are 2 games behind them

    Callan Ward looks to have done his ACL poor bloke. Could be the end.

    Wow. The Toiges. I wonder if they can sustain this for the whole game.

    There’s still 48 points up for grabs, far to early to make any predictions on the 8.

    We just need to keep grabbing opportunities and hopefully get on a roll

    Look at the Tigers right now…

    Sicily and Alex Pearce are the two worst captain in the league

    It shocks me every day that Brayshaw isn’t captain of Freo. Then again it’s Freo.

    thats true

    but no matter what stage of the season, its always better for the teams around you to lose

    My brother-in-law is a mad Tiges supporter, and I have been telling him all year the Tiges will rise quickly. Yze's game plan is quick, and within that game plan the players' pressure is strong and some of their young talent is top notch. They won't win too many this year because their young players will get physically monstered and will also struggle to run out 4 quarters. Bu they are good to watch for the most part.

    Agreed, but results will astound on a regular basis

    In ‘87 we were 6-9 before we got on a serious roll and that was with a Final 5

    If we can win strongly tomorrow, we are in the race

    Hard at contest, clean with hands, goals not points, let them chase us, our think our style stacks up. Long down the line is death against them. They force you into that so you gotta go at times but you’ve also gotta hold, I think that’s what we’re doing!

    Hopefully, our set up around the ball will negate the runners that they hold at the back of the pack.

    Our game seems to be getting in better nick so hopefully we can knock them off.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • 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.
