We all Remember the days when the draft was our premiership. To have us win a premiership in 2021, with real hope for a second, and looking at a top ten, possibly top 5 pick coming back is better than Xmas. I feel like I’m living like a unicorn 😜

I will be watching the game today, reading 2023 phantom drafts, and laughing at those who thought they were the unicorn. 
 

Bring it on… 

Yep, and we gave up pick 3 to get it. 
 

Jacko really is a distant memory for many. 
 

Soory Demonstrative, I meant to quote Agent99

Just think of the possibility that we win a flag and flagmantle win the wooden spoon!

When has the premiers ever gotten the number one draft pick?

omg! That is mind blowing.

hahahahaha!

Closest I can think of would be a couple of Sydney academy picks when they were top of the ladder. Heeney (defaulted to 18) Mills (taken at 3, before Oliver).

It sure worked our well for the Swans so here's hoping it keeps us growling along nicely.

Harley Reid come on down!

Or.... we swap pick 1 for three first rounders, as many reports have mentioned. Imagine the premiers having 4 first rounders!

Wishful thinking!

Definitely wishful thinking. Fremantle could miss the 8 but definitely won't be bottom. Still, whichever way you look at it Melbourne are well-positioned for the 2023 draft. What does [censored] me off though is all the compromises to the draft from father-son and academy selections.

I reckon today will tell us where they’re going this year.

50/50 game on the road against a side that’s hot off the showdown.

Start 1-3 and they’re going to have to go on a couple of 3-4 game winning streaks if they hope to make finals.

[BDA 22,953]

first decent forward connection I've seen from Freo this season. maybe they have turned the corner?

[Sideshow Bob 2,443]

Go Crom

 

Eeeewwww thats feels very dirty putting those words down. It's downright wrong.

I'm enjoying this death ride far more than I thought I would.

[GCDee 3,199]

This is excellent loving having 2 games a week i am genuinely supporting.

We may have to return their 2nd round pick for good will

If you're feeling a bit Browned off about all that, think of the future and it'll be Yze to feel all White again.

I know a liquor store where we can cash this check right now!

Who'd have thought we would be doing to a team what Collingwood did to us for all those years. Dawes Neeld Lumumba Howe Kennedy. On and on. Freo have a way to go but it's getting there. Hogan Jackson hopefully Jefferson and two mega stars in this years draft care of them.
Although to be fair we can't really take the credit for it like Collingwood did. Peter Bell has to take all the credit.

We could easily end up with something close to pick 3 this year+ Jefferson (2022 #13)  + 2023 #23 to #26!

Reckon Freo had pencilled in being 6/0 or 5/1 in the first part of the season.  They won't get even close.  Then the tough draw starts!!

Happy days!!🙃

Jacko having a mare too. Poor bugger is going to be under immense pressure now if he wasn’t already.

What have they done to Dog?

Looks half the player he was with us

Not wrong. For the most part they've all been thoroughly enjoyable too!

[rjay 25,197]

Despite the conventional wisdom on here Jackson was pretty good from what I saw of that Q...a nice tap to advantage and a couple of good grabs. Happy to see Freo getting smashed but look with both eyes people.

And he wasn’t that great with us. Played some exciting minutes and quarters showing great promise in what will be a historically great MFC team. 
 

He ain’t a Pickett, Daicos, Serong, Curnow, Gawn, etc. 

 

I’m glad we didn’t pay out of our pocket to keep him. It looks as tho the trade will work in Our favour. Taylor will ensure we do!
