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:

May

Grundy

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

2023 draft picks

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.

Look, I’m not saying I’m not enjoying this, cos I am. But I’m not going to get too excited until much later in the year and their current form stands.

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

Hawthorn 

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).

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
