Sadly sometimes this is the case.

PREGAME: Rd 09 vs Hawthorn
Very surprised by the Jeffo selection

Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver in 2026
There is also the possibility that he is unhappy with the game time he is getting & this is his reaction to less time on the field.

Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver in 2026
At least I support the Club instead of fawning to individual players. At least I put the Club's interests first instead of fawning adulation to individual players. Clarry got around $70,000 for last week's effort even though he didn't turn up.

Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver in 2026
The only lack of respect I see is by the player towards the Club & the supporters who provide his pay. Pocketing $1million a year & delivering a $400,000 performance.
-
Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver in 2026
I'm quickly losing faith. After last year's disaster I was happy to forgive & forget but it seems to be happening again. He is a $1million a year player & needs to start delivering or find another club.

Tom McDonald re-signs for 2025
Where do you dream this stuff up ??? This is completely untrue. TMac has generally been well liked by Demonlanders & one of the most popular players.
-
Tom Fullarton
Fullarton fully deserved his opportunity & may do so again if he keeps putting his hand up. Actually good form at VFL level is still pretty relevant & Goodwin has a history of ignoring good VFL form & rushing back players who are either not fit or not in any form. It was definitely part of the reason he wrecked our chances in 2022.

Tom Fullarton
Agree that Fullo deserved a chance but hasn't shown anything so back to Casey. You have got to be kidding to suggest we ruined Weid's career by rucking him. Weid just couldn't cut it as a key forward at 2 different clubs. Lacked desperation & couldn't hold his marks. Ironically some of his best footy was at Casey as an undersized ruckman in their flag year.

Xavier Lindsay- Round 7 Rising Star
Lindsay is a quality player but I didn't think he's done enough to get a nomination. Still it's all a bit subjective so good luck to him.
- Welcome to Demonland: Harvey Langford

Time to go easy on Fritsch
Fully agree. He's been living on the GF performance ever since. Has been poor since mid 2024. Lazy, sloppy skills by hand & foot & selfish ie rarely gives off to players in better position.

Tom Fullarton
Who is Kentland ? Is he related to McAdams ?

KOZZY A DEMON FOR LIFE!!!
Ironic that you should mention Peter Bell because early on in Freos entry they traded away Jeff Farmer, Mathew Lloyd & Scott Lucas as well as letting Andrew McLeod slip through their fingers. Then they let Bell go after a handful of games & he became a champion at North. Almost as poor trading as Footscray in the 1970's.

KOZZY A DEMON FOR LIFE!!!
Nothing to do with "unlucky". They are obsessed with luring back high profile West Australians & it often blows up in their face or is poor value for $$ ie Des Headland, Harley Bennell, Jesse Hogan & the Col Sylvia trade was also a disaster
-
KOZZY A DEMON FOR LIFE!!!
If Freo had been smarter they would have kept Lloyd Meek instead of trading for Jackson. Ditto trading for Hogan & hanging on to Lachie Neale might have been an idea.
-
KOZZY A DEMON FOR LIFE!!!
Freo & to a lesser degree have got a terrible history of overpaying for returning WA players, Harley Bennell, Hogan, Tim Kelly which invariably blows up in their face.

Spargo, Sharp or Culley???????
Agree you ARE waaaay off target. Spargo is nowhere near a great player. He is a good team man & role player. Culley's disposal is barely at AFL level, just turns it over too much. So far Sharp has shown little. He has pace but seems timid & has average skills - about on par with Oskar Baker.
-
Noah Balta - Sentencing
Politicians now feel the need to comment about everything - Taylor Swift, drinking water to stay hydrated, swimming between the flags, checking on granny during hot weather and every high profile crime event. I really don't know how humanity survived without their gratuitous advice. She should shut her cake hole about most things & worry about paying off the debt.

Max Gawn shanks left - AGAIN
I posted this 5 years ago & yet his kicking for goal is no better. It's quiet disgraceful that he can't kick a goal from 20 m out.
-
Noah Balta - Sentencing
This was appropriately dealt with by the Club & the AFL in the pre season and most people were ok with it. Surprised you would support a grubby politician who sticks their nose in a court matter because they think they can get political benefit out of it. I thought lynch mobs went out of favour in the 1930's but some Demonlanders sound like they want them back.
-
Noah Balta - Sentencing
That's the spirit. Build more jails & put everyone in jail. Especially any young thugs. Just follow the US system. What could go wrong ?
-
Tom Fullarton
You must be kidding. Fullerton did very little and was beaten at 2 ruck contests by Oscar McD. He gets another chance but really showed nothing.
-
Max Gawn shanks left - AGAIN
I'm 68 years old & haven't kicked a footy in 10 years yet I would back myself against Max in taking 10 set shots for goal 20m out at 45 deg.
-
Max Gawn shanks left - AGAIN
Multiple AA's yet still can't be relied on 20 metres out aaand still shanks them left. At least he's consistent.
