Nice goal Melks. Been pretty good so far.

Why oh why wouldn't you stand the mark there!? Lucky that wasn't a goal.

They didn't pay that earlier against the Bombers in the same spot, but of course they do against us!

That one goes back to May thumping the ball out of Petty's hands.

He definitely handballed it, but I can also see how the umpires might've missed it. Was extremely dinky.

How do you not stick that tackle?

Somebody jinxed the death ride. Not naming names :P

Yes, this! How good was it to see.

I kind of feel bad for them. So many kids playing they've had to have them run out through a bouncy castle instead of a banner.

It's an absolutely fantastic afternoon here. Very very little wind. Nice temp. Dees by 15......goals. 15 Goals.

"Freo has won XX games by 1 point, 4 against Adelaide" Followed by "Adelaide has lost X games by 1 point, 4 against Freo" I mean seriously. Can we get better commentators. Please.

Not wrong. For the most part they've all been thoroughly enjoyable too!

Yep. The Camfield is a nice spot, can get busy though. Not necessarily a Demons fan hangout but good for a pre-game beverage.

74 points in a grand final will do me fine for a very large margin :D

And me on the wing, level 3, enjoying that misery. Hopefully I'll be enjoying it on behalf of everyone else stuck over east! :D

AFL - News, Fixtures, Scores & Results - AFL.com.au If you go to the VFL Match Centre pages there's a "Match Replays" button just under the scores.

Is Jackson a "unicorn" because like the single horn all he can do is manage a single mark a game or is it because like the animal his goal kicking skills are mythical? I hope for his sake he improves before they really start piling on the pressure over here.

GO THE KANGAS!

I've already said in other posts that I edited it about 5 minutes after I originally posted it. I've also owned up to the fact that "pissweak" was a bad choice of words, as no one out on that field is pissweak and that I also let my emotion get the better of me. I'd have the heart to stand by it, but I was wrong - hence the quick edit and admitting to that.

Hard agreement with that. Just to be clear - I don't want to seem like I'm predicting doom and gloom. We're a team of stars and this one game isn't going to make or break our season. If anything, I think we'll come back even harder; I'd be worried if I was Sydney. I just can't understand where that last 12 minutes was at any other point in the game? We're 30 points down at three quarter time - surely you send the players out with the same message as after the power outage. Drop the eyes. Play risky. Switch it up. But it just wasn't there, and I cannot fathom why? It's not their first rodeo, and it's not like they haven't done it before. Someone else said it earlier - it's like some of the guys pick and choose when to kick it up a gear? Edit - I also agree, "pissweak" was a poor choice of word. None of the guys out there are that. My emotion got the better of me there.

Can't agree with that. We showed absolutely 0 signs that we were going to end up with a score like this before the power dropped. 8 minutes in one quarter didn't cost us. Three and a half quarters of playing well below our standards did. The scoreline flatters us.

That's what makes the rest of that performance all that much worse. We can play like that - we just proved it. We should play like that - We didn't. Why didn't we play like that? I don't know, but I'm not happy about it.

Forgive me for being upset with a team I've supported for decades, who for the last few minutes did actually show what they are capable of except for the other hour and a half of the game. Was not a great performance from a vast majority and I'll stand by my post (even if I did edit it just before you quoted me to a more suitable descriptor :))

Don't let the last 7 minutes excuse the heartless performance leading up to it. Not happy at all.
