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..

    Yep try and get themselves a good third round pick 

    I love Jaded. Love her…

    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: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
