There's really nothing else to say in this thread other than something derogatory towards Fremantle.

    Jury is out on that one. I just want them to finish down  the ladder, they won’t finish last or second last if we could get pick four through six I would be delighted. Getting the picks we get for Jackson and getting The Bun will have been a great result. Our selection / negotiating team have done a great job again.

    Okay, I’d be prepared to get our original pick 3 back for LJ along with last years late first round pick and this years early 2nd round pick as payment for his development…you’re welcome PB

    Had a good time cheering on the Giants yesterday, and currently backing in the Suns against Richmond. Things going very nicely, Freo looking more and more likely to only finish above North, Hawks and the Eagles.

    Devastating draft cost of big name trade

    Can anyone who has access to this HS article let us know just what it’s saying (aside from the obvious we get Freos pick)

    TIA

    God I’m loving this death riding. Freo, GWS and Suns games all going our way this weekend. Gives me a genuine interest in an extra 3/4 games a week.

    NOVEMBER DREAMING OR NOVEMBER NIGHTMARE?

    Fremantle knows Luke Jackson will be a 10-year-plus player who will play a big role in the club’s future fortunes.

    But the Dockers would never have dreamed they might end up giving up so much to claim the 2021 premiership player.

    And that’s something which is keeping Melbourne fans watching the down-and-almost-out Dockers as much as they are their own team.

    Freo played finals last year and would have expected to do the same this year. That’s why they were content trading last year’s pick 13 as well as a future first and future second to the Demons.

    But after a 2-5 start to the 2023 season – and with their confidence looking shot at times against Brisbane – the Dockers look to have no chance of playing finals this year.

    If things stay the same, and the Dockers remain in a similar ladder position, the Demons might be getting a pick 5 or 6 or 7 this November, as well as a mid 20s pick as well.

    That’s not Jackson’s fault, and the Dockers are more than happy with him. But you can also understand why Simon Goodwin and Demons fans are watching the Dockers so closely.

    I wouldn't trust Peter Bell to run a bath, let alone a football department.

    Two marks this week. Two.

    At about $100,000 a mark 🫠

    I still laugh at the thought that he’s getting paid more than 6 time AA ruckman and premiership captain Maximus Gawn 😂

    Freo play Hawthorn next weekend. 

    Hawthorn get the job done and anything is possible in regards to a top 3-5 pick.

    That 4th tank could very well be Richmond

    Their first pick is tied to GWS is it not? So I hope they tank. 😄

    Yes the irony would indeed be hilarious

    My head tells me that Hawthorn has no show of beating Fremantle in Perth but my heart says otherwise. Still, I remember very well the Sunday evening when Collingwood went over there and upset them in the rain. I think it was the start of the Magpies run and, in all likelihood, the defeat that cost the Dockers a top four berth so here’s hoping.

    I am taking the weekend off the death ride. Hawthorn are tanking quite well right now - a couple of honourable losses ensure Smitchell can continue the tank away from prying eyes half a world away.

    Dont you play them into form Hawthorn! We love their stilted ball movement and unimaginative play!

    IT IS INSPIRING

    if freo keep this up we will be in a unbelievable draft position

    Looking at each teams needs I think hawks will take Reid pick 1

    westcoast could take Moir (from Adelaide, west coast supporter) pick 2 

    North need a key position player, already have wardlaw sheezel powell and L Davis Uniacke, maybe take curtain or A Reid

    Gold Coast may trade back so they don’t waste high first round pick on Walter so we could be looking at dursma Watson caddy A Reid 

    Maybe we trade with Gold Coast with some combination of our first and second round pick for their first 

    maybe bring in some combination of dursma/ Watson with archer Reid/ caddy 

    also like the look of Connor o,Sullivan

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
