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

    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.

    "rooting for injuries"

    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

    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)

    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: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
