You take Freo for fools. There selection of Hill shows they now know how to spot real talent.

They got slaughtered in the midfield. If they get first pick, why wouldn't they take the head and shoulders best footballer available? :wacko:

No decision is beyond the Fremantle Football Club, Rhino.

:lol:

I think last night was Mark Harvey's death sentence. The derby is going to be fascinating... they both can't lose... West coast winning is good for us, Freo replacing their coach could be just as good.

Make no mistake about it.............without intervention from the coaching dept, this team will win more than 5 games this year, and we will lose the number 1 pick!

The work rate is back up from the team, and the difference now is, they have belief!

Will be a very interesting run home!

Yep, all of that and don't underestimate the power of self-interest. I believe it was Peter Costello who said "In a two-horse race always back self -interest. At least you know it's trying!" A lot of our blokes are playing for their careers - they quite rightly couldn't give a bugger about what might best get better players to the club! Intervention from the FD is the only thing which will ensure we keep to the 4 wins!

We will need more than that!

Yes we will. I actually thought the coaches had a real crack at losing today but Port are just that ordinary they couldn't get over us. On today's form I thought we were 8 goals better than Port, we won by less than 2. I'm confident Scully's ours. I think our FD knows the importance of this draft.

I dont think the MFC coaches did that today. But what can you do when the opposition's senior list squibs it?

Either way, the footy dept knows they are safe for next year, but would also be aware that if they bring a kid like Scully into the club next season, he will help us improve in his first season, and subsequently improve their chances of sticking around longer as well!

We will know what they are thinking in the next few weeks.

If we get more than 4 wins this year then the Footy Dept should be sacked. They would be far from safe.

With Scully out of our reach, who should we take?

Trengrove the obvious one if we get pick 2.

Scully's ours, and yes Trengove does look good. Butcher will be looked at, as will Morabito

Glad to see someone thinking positive.

Should Scully not become a Dee, I liked Morabito - Go home factor is big though. Butcher looked overawed at the Championships and our need for a KPF is less after drafting Watts. Trengrove looked good and is the obvious second choice.

Why is it big?

Is it big for Cale Morton..? Or Jetta or Bennell? Was it for Jared Rivers?

I don't agree with this assessment.

I think its a false consideration invented by the football media so they have something else to speculate on when its a slow news day.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
