Just for those following who will get Harley Reid. While hawks are firm favourites, so are Melbourne....who have the Dockers’ future first-round pick and the Dockers’ future second-round pick because of jackson. 

Great to know that we’re on one of the lines of favouritism to get Harley Reid while still being a strong contender for the flag. And even in the likely event that we don’t get young Harley, it’s good to know that we are going to end up with some quality young players if the Dockers continue to be putrid - all thanks to the benevolence of Mr. Bell.

    What about Archer Reid? Sounds like a great fit for us and at 203cm and 93kgs, sounds ready for AFL.

    The Suns are at their best on their own home turf and are pathetic when the opponent has home ground advantage. Neither applies next week when they play the Dockers at Norwood Oval where hopefully the red and blue army will be out in force supporting them and adding some more nails to the Freo coffin.

    So Peter Bell has given us:

    We drafted someone with the second round pick in 2018, can't remember

    Omg, imagine this for a scenario.

    Round 23, Melb plays Hawthorn.

    A Melb loss sees us retain top spot being two games clear and  Hawthorn move off the bottom of the ladder replaced by Freo who end up with the wooden spoon and pick 1 goes to the dees. 

    Geez that would be awkward.

    Probably be done for tanking.

    Our luck would be we field our Casey team and win after the siren.

    We can dream.

    I reckon they may as well put the Suns in the bin. A terrible football club.

    Terrible coach. St Kilda and Gold Coast were about equal at the end of last year in potential and most would have had Gold Coast ahead of Saints in pre-season prognostications. I had both outside top eight.

    St Kilda only have about 28 players to pick from yet they have desire, structure and purpose in spades. I don't think I've seen a better example of coaching making a difference. He's a weird bloke Ross Lyon but he can certainly coach. A couple of those players are going to be stars of the competition. To name a couple Owens and Caminiti. 

    And just a note of sobriety to all our frothing at Freos failures (myself included) that Caminiti was last player on a list in 2023, overlooked by everyone. Draft picks don't win premierships.

    I could be jumping gun here but they absolutely reek of Melbourne 2019.

    Yet for completely different reasons. Ours was with so many coming back from surgery, not enough of a pre season to be fit enough etc. Theirs is self inflicted poor list management.

    They just can't kick a score, they may as well have the second worst fwd line in the league.

    Hawthorn's forward set-up looked ok against North last week. Brockman looked the goods kicking 3. They definitely played better than anything Freo have served up this season so far

    There are some awfully smug people on this forum. lol

    We have a game on today. We should win easily but there are no guarantees.

    What if eagles come out blazing they could jump us  especially if the umps run with them.

    Atleast they cant turn off the lights.

    Mate, this is supposed to be a fun thread (i.e. not serious/objective assessment on Freo).

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.
