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

They didn't look like they were tanking last weekend against North.

I guess we'll find out on May 6 when they play each other

    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?

    The teams they play twice are:

    - Sydney

    - Brisbane

    - Geelong

    - Bulldogs

    - Hawthorn

    - West Coast

    Make of that what you will.

    Great viewing today!

    Freo sitting 1-3 (lucky win after injuries plagued WCE) and have this the next few weeks:

    GCS (in Adelaide)
    Dogs (Home)
    Brisbane (away)
    Hawthorn (Home)
    Sydney (away)
    Geelong (home)
    Melbourne (away)

    If they are better than 3-8 I'd be surprised. Could be as bad as 2-9 is the Sun's get them this week in Adelaide.

    I can’t wait to play them. Gawn should be back by then. Jackson will have a real fun time out there.

    Would love a weekly "What they are saying in Freo" segment from LH.

    Just some of the wisdom on the Freo board

    Melbourne are really going to love the top 3 draft pick we'll be gifting them this season.

    Great no first round pick either to at least get a bit excited about

    The Luke Jackson trade is a disaster and we will have to live with that but at least he's an okay player.

    Going to be great watch Jackson spud it up whilst Melbourne's pick 2 wins 3 Brownlows.

    So as it stands it we have essentially traded in Grundy, Jefferson and a 5-10 pick for Jackson.

    It could end up one of the all time best trades albeit its early days.

    Jackson might well still be a great footballer, but hard to see him winning another flag in that jumper.

    Not sure if the club saw it this way, but Grundy had the runs on board and we got him at the same price. I just hope Grundy’s length of contract stands up..

    Okay, I'm being purely sadistic here but how about we aim to use our 2023 draft picks to take the best tall defender (Curtin, from Claremont) and best ruck (Edwards, Peel, and Freo Academy) just so we can watch Freo supporters implode?

    Handily, they're probably the two most suitable first round picks for us, anyway.

    I mean, recruiters always debate 'best available' vs 'needs', but I don't think there's enough consideration of merciless trolling as a draft strategy.

    ...and then they trade Jackson back for a salary cap dump.

    It's not cool to claim someone else's joke, rpfc. Next you'll be saying you're high on potenuse.

    • 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?
