    You could also parallel the shoddy delivery into the forward 50........

    Freo were very very ordinary.

    Tarrant was absolutely hopeless. Can't believe they traded pick 8 - which the Magguires used on Ben Reid - for him. He is one overpriced underperforming half forward flanker.

    They are slow, their ball use and decision making is very ordinary. the number of times they fluffed simple short passes or handballs or managed to run themselves into trouble was amazing.

    At least the Wiz played ok. He provided Pavlich with the only decent pass to him for the whole game.

    In fact looking at the Freo list and watching the game today you gotta hope that Connolly's trip back over the Nullarbor saw some sort of Saulian road to Damascus conversion vis a vis and re list management. There is not much young talent comng through and they have a lot of Jack Dyer good ordinary footballers -- and they have done more than a few questionable trades.

    Went to the game yesterday, agree with most of you're thoughts, but I still think that they will win a few games this year. They have two Mobile KPPs in Pavlich and Mcpharlin that are class and they have a huge home ground advantage, two things we don't have and that might be enough for Freo to not finish in the bottom 4 this year.

    Whilst they have a good list. Quite a few of them started there career elsewhere and their best years are behind them ala Tarrant, M Johnson, Solomon etc

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
