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

Nice lose Freo, keep up the good work

Feathered caps should be on sale this week from what I hear.

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!

 

Their Bigfooty board is fun reading 

Came straight here for a laugh after seeing the result and haven’t been disappointed😁

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

Peter Bell at Adelaide airport moments ago.

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.

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..

Freo should tank

Yep try and get themselves a good third round pick 

I love Jaded. Love her…

But I get 4 laugh emojis and her 9?

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.

Waiting for the Draft & Trade Board to open up to get the draft chat going....

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