    Their next 16 games are mostly against top 4 contenders or teams that played finals last year.

    I can't see them winning more than 3 or 4 of those. Maybe 5 best case scenario.

    I wonder if my theory now has some merit.

    It was that other players are unhappy about team mates being traded to fit LJ in and jealousy at his contract.

    This death riding has already been a lot of fun. A top 5 pick in a super draft seems genuinely attainable. The Jackson trade, combined with the Grundy acquisition could become an amazing move, if it isn’t already

    Crows will give Carlton their first proper test of the year next weekend. I'll be tipping the Crows.

    Freo reek of Melbourne 2019. Long season ahead for them.

    This deathride is going all the way. 

     

    That I thought at the end of their 2022 season

    Say we get pick 5 from Freo, is there a chance we actually trade up to get pick 1?

    I am assuming we could stack pick 5, pick 23 and our own second round pick?

    Great result, didn’t watch the game. Is the player we are linked to Henry? He is copping an absolute Pasting on their big footy board.

    We have our own first rounder as well, we are in a very good position.

    Yes it is, and I only watched the 4th quarter & I agree, he didn’t look great

    He was very poor ball in hand. Butchered all his possies.

    No chance Hawks are giving up pick 1.

    You wouldnt want to be a football personality in Perth. Coach Longmuir is now copping it.  Heats off Jacko for a few weeks..Maybe. 

    Who would want to live in that environment. Longmuir wont read the papers tomorrow he might choke on the chocolate egg.

    The only way we will get pick #1 is if Freo finish last. That is highly unlikely.

    They're in such a fish bowl that I wouldn't be surprised to see a new Freo coach this year. As long as they don't go after Yze.

    Not highly unlikely. Definitely possible. They play Hawks twice. On current form, the Hawks win those games

    But they won’t. They’re tanking hard.

    People in the future will look at 2023 in their history book and ask "Why did the Dees receive Priority Picks after winning the flag?"

    Our 2023 draft picks based on last year's finishing positions are: 

    Melbourne 13, 14, 32, 33, 88

    I'd be ecstatic if that turned into 1, 18, 19, 38 & ? On Fremantle's revealed form those picks 13 & 32 are going to be a lot higher. I hadn't quite appreciated how easy a draw Fremantle had early. I assume that as they finished 6th their remaining draw is pretty tough. Which 6 teams do they play twice?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
