The unashamed Freo bias from a reporter in a paid capacity is what gets under my skin. 

Lol c'mon mate...

He's a paid commentator/journo. He's doing exactly what he's paid to do and that's simply give his opinion. 

You say he's an unashamed Freo bias but yet he was the one that actually question the Luke Jackson trade instead of fawning over it like many other WA journo's

So too is Haselby allowed an opinion. In fact, he's paid to have opinions, even if we consider them biased

Well, I am woke and I was one of the first Death Riders…

I think it’s fine.

And I can come up with worse too…

One can do a lot worse than being woke

Haha but then happy to smash others like Hasleby for having one..


Death riding or no death riding, I will be watching the same number of Fremantle games as Melbourne games. I will be rooting for injuries and one sided umpiring. I wish them the same luck as any team based in Buffalo.

Ok...... Let me go again. Barracking like a lunatic. 

 

I’m not familiar with the meaning of “death riding”. But a tennis commentator just said he’d spent all week death riding Djokovic. I still don’t know what it means.

Deathride in this context is to be wishing on the downfall of whatever teams pick you own, not really sure where it originates from but has become the common phrase used in pick swap scenarios. You'll find various threads on other footy forums 'deathriding' other teams i.e Swans have one for Hawthorn, as they own their 2nd rounder next year

Peter Bell liked using the feather in cap phrase to describe his many trade 'wins' & accomplishments  

 

Here's the answer I got from adonski, @Fanatique Demon, to this and the feathered cap aspect.

I think the best we can hope for is Freo to finish 7th - 9th.

I think this coming season 
Crows 
Bombers 
Giants
Suns 
Hawks
North
Port
Saints
Eagles
I think these nine teams will only trouble each other, Port, Crows and the Suns might get the odd scalp but that’s about it.

Port will improve this year (JHF, Rioli) and suns are getting closer but can’t really argue with the rest

He's one death riding, het flying, wheelin and dealin son of a gun that's for sure.

I'm having a hard time keeping these aligators down! 

We have not even seen 1 round of 2023 and some comments are predicting Fremantle to drop but there is a major difference between practice matches and the real thing since coaches experiment during this period to see players play in different positions.

Fremantle has a very good onball players who as the season progresses will get better with games since most of them are very young.

I hope they drop but no matter what we have 2 first round picks and 2 second round picks and looking at the herald sun this morning there is a lot of players to like in the top 40.


Midfield unit is too good to drop completely. Question is definitely going to be about where the goals come from, still expecting top 8 from them.

he's right about their forward set-up. Lobb gone, Fyfe always injured and Taberner battling. Jackson a good option in the ruck but no way can carry the goal kicking burden. They will struggle to kick scores to win matches this season. No finals this year i reckon (and hope)

Edited by BDA

based on what i saw on friday night, no matter how impotent the dockers forwards are, they'll still have enough to beat st kilda.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
