[layzie 33,729]

It feels like there's a 2019 Melbourne vibe about Fremantle.

freo have Dogs Lions and Swans in the next 5

😃

Never mind Dogs Lions and Swans. The Suns will beat them next weekend.

[ElDiablo14 4,991]

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.

[Redleg 40,802]

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.

[Matt 424]

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

Thanks.. I have zero sense of time. Just that it ebbs away quickly!

hope jacko's contract is not performance based

Is it too early for "The Harley Reid Thread"?

[BDA 22,697]

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 

[ElDiablo14 4,991]

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?

[Pipefitter 2,149]

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.

[Deebauched 1,220]

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. 

[layzie 33,729]

Get home safely Freo. 

[Adam The God 30,105]

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. 

[John Demonic 5,731]

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?"

[Sydney_Demon 1,175]

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?
