POSTGAME: Rd 07 vs Richmond
In a basic explanation Freo zone off and play more aggressive so it was easier to get through their zone with handball. Richmond flooded back into our forward half more so trying to run through with handball would ultimately see us hit a brick wall

PREGAME: Rd 08 vs West Coast
He did point to Gawn but he also got around Chandler as did about half the team which was great to see. That kind of behaviour is infectious

He needs a dedicated key forward coach, he has the tools it is up to us to help him develop them into a consistent key forward.

The AFL 2025 Fixture
Doesn't help that we play a home game vs Saints in NT and WCE at Docklands. Saints game should be at the G and one of the GWS/Freo/Suns/WCE games in NT. It's absolutely stupid fixturing us to play another Vic team there.

First half was really poor but the 3rd quarter was very good. Could've put the foot down for some much needed percentage but I get why they rested Max. The pressure was released in the last 10 minutes though which had nothing to do with Max going off. Happy with the win of course, disappointed we didn't roll them by 10+ goals after being 44 points up but a win is a win. The disposal in the first half though, my god. So many poor turnovers and we reverted back to the long down the line kicks and with little forward pressure. Picked up after half time though which is a positive.- GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond
Must hit the ground running, if the young Tiger cubs think they're in with a chance and with the crowd behind them they will run on enthusiasm. Get on top early and then put the foot down in the 2nd half.- What they're saying down at Punt Road
Only made finals twice (winning one final each time) between 1982-2013.- Tairon Ah-Mu - No access for Dees NGA Talent
But they were happy to change the rules about GC only accessing 2 picks if they make finals. Policy on the run but only when it suits from the nuffies at AFL HQ- Welcome to Demonland: Harvey Langford

Future captain material and I don't like to anoint the young kids too early. He is a smooth operator on and off field.- Petracca & Oliver at the Dees in 2026?
Ok so he WAS talking out of his [censored]- Kozzy Homesick & Wants to Leave?
Well that didn't fill me with any confidence at all 😞- Welcome to Demonland: Harvey Langford
- Petracca & Oliver at the Dees in 2026?
Love hearing this although just want to check, is this one of the instances we believe Morris or one of the times he's talking out his [censored]? 😉- NGA Rule changes mooted
How are Switzerland and Finland somehow defined as eligible?? Pacific Island talent part of possible NGA changes - https://www.afl.com.au/news/1278009 Also in the above article, no doubt they'll change the rules to I clude Pacific islands but we'll still get screwed because the changes won't come into effect until after Ah-Mu is draft eligible.- NGA Rule changes mooted
But Switzerland and Finland do???- POSTGAME: Rd 06 vs Fremantle
I didn't notice Underwood/Riewoldt so much but felt Healy was a pain to listen to with his pro-Freo commentary. Actually I thought Underwood had improved as I used to think she was absolutely intolerable but I hardly noticed her (perhaps just me).- NGA Rule changes mooted
I thought the NGAs were only for indigenous players or a player with at least one parent born in Africa/Asia? I didn't realise it was anywhere overseas?- Time to go Goody?
Yeah freo made it pretty easy for us to get through their zone with handball, I wonder how we will fare against a team like the Pies who apply great pressure and clamp down on the ball carrier. The quick handball chains look good when they come off but when you hit a brick wall (like the Saints did last night vs the Dogs) trying to get through the midfield you can fall apart pretty quickly.- Time to go Goody?
Petracca looked a lot better playing more attacking footy and streaming out of the middle but his disposal was shocking, he butchered at least 3 inside 50s that I recall and that set shot. Salem also played a lot better but made 3 or 4 crucial errors which a player of his maturity just should not be making. Oliver again was a lot better looking to handball first instead of dump kick but if I remember there were two turnovers he had which resulted in goals to Freo. If these three mature/experienced players can clean their disposal up even a little it will go a long way to fixing some of our problems.- POSTGAME: Rd 06 vs Fremantle
"Tiges supporters hate Docklands" they were already wheeling out the excuses last night on the coverage- Time to go Goody?
JVR will be fine once he's able to play 2nd KPF and not have to backup ruck. - POSTGAME: Rd 07 vs Richmond
