What if we ignore the draft entirely and package up our 2 first round picks in a trade for Ben King?

I'm not sure, but where have I heard about a trade like that in the recent past?

Dunno Flash, I'd love to have him but not sure how many Texas-sized checks we have left in the kitty!

Would probably require someone like BBB retiring a year early

So ideal scenario is WC last, Richmond 17th and Freo 16th?

However hard to see both NM and Hawthorn above Richmond and Freo.

No the ideal scenario is Freo finishing last...not likely but ideal non the less.

Unfortunately the tank is on at both West Coast and Hawthorn whereas Freo and Richmond have nothing to gain by finishing as low as possible. So I think pick 4 is the absolute best outcome we can hope for. 

West Coast, Hawks and Norf will fight to the death for that spoon. We play Hawks twice and Norf once more… so good luck to us if we think Freo finish bottom. 

LOL.  The bf Freo board has a thread called 'Roast - Vent Here'.

They must be wearying - just little wimpers this week rather than the earlier maddening rage.

Very interesting game this week. Maybe it’s wishful thinking on my part but I give the hawks a big chance. They’ve been playing ok particularly in the first halves of games before fading in the second. A good start against freo and who knows.

I’ll be glued to this game on sat night

You might want to load up on booze or something. It’s going to be a very ugly poor quality game! 😆

Jackson v Frost should be a fun watch


3 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

looks like darcy might miss with injury this week, so dog will undoubtedly star as a starting ruckman

And Freo might then realise that he is in fact a ruckman. Damn.

Will be interesting if that happens, will leave Longmuir with a very difficult decision. Do the Hawks even have a ruckman of note?

If Mitch Lewis learns to kick straight he will be unstoppable. One of the best contested marks in the game at the moment.

He might not be of note, but the Hawks have Meek, the ex Docker ruckman, who dominated against Casey for the Box Hill Hawks.

Whenever I watch the Hawks play, their ruckman, Reeves I think he is, seems very ordinary.

Freo are slops. Hawthorn have had a few close games but if Freo spank them then posters are right about hawks tanking. If fatso Darcy is out then Hawthorn has to be something of a chance.

Freo will probably win otherwise Longmuir will be lynched outside Fremantle Yacht Club.

I just saw this on Zerohanger. An utter disgrace.

Let's go WC tank! 

Hoping the Eagles tank is a heavier Soviet era model.

Managing their best players for a winnable game! I wasn't sure but I think it's absolutely obvious now that they are tanking.

I just hope that rotten club languish at the foot of the table forever more. Serves them right. And i hope North and the Eagles finish below them. 

In fact, I hope they go bankrupt. That way we won't have to put up with their insufferable supporters and God awful guernsey.

Managing players at round 8 when you are slop? Breust needs managing? For what... Finals?

I bet nobody at AFL house will even blink an eye about this very obvious case of tanking. That only happens to Melbourne.

Freo by 10 goals. 


Hawks are expert tankers with a demeanour of ‘how dare you say we do what we are doing’…

ND4 the best outcome for us. Which is great.

Sam Mitchell is a genius. Nobody else can see the brilliance of his thinking.

I, for one, applaud the innovation of coming into a winnable game and 'resting' your leading goalkicker.

This also means that this is the first game since 2008 where Hawthorn haven't fielded any premiership players.

Official end of an era.

Breust you could understand, but Jiath is a kid.

The tank is on...funny if Freo still blow it.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
