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

    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.

    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: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
