It's a Major general tanking alright.

    Anyway, back to the game. I expect the Hawks to take it right to the Dockers until late into there 3rd quarter, and then pull on the handbrake.

    The AFL is well aware of their tactics. 

    At the start of the year Caroline Wilson reported the AFL were filthy with Hawthorn for exiting all their experience last year.  To name a few:  O'Meara, Mitchell, McElvoy, Dunstan etc thousands of games experience.   She even mentioned that evil word: priority pick. She said no chance they will get one given their deliberate list decimation.

    Not long after, one of the co-hosts of a Dunstall program mentioned that evil word.  He grinned.

    It isn't just pick 1 they want, a priority pick is their end game, if not this year then next.

    They have learnt nothing from the wasted years and culture destruction at the dees and blues 10 years ago from tanking. 

    Regardless of what Hawks do we will still end up with pick 5-7 from Freo or if we are very lucky #4.  And whatever pick we get I'm confident we will get the player we want at the top of the draft. 

    Hawthorn are one of the most arrogant clubs around. They think they can tank and make it work (exhibit A, the start of Clarkson's journey). They probably think Melbourne and Carlton are just inept clubs that couldn't tank as well as them for the end result of 4 flags in 8 years.

    Yes he does, but if they bring in that bloke McDonald, I think it was, who had 100 possessions against Casey, the ball will live in their forward line.

    Picked it.

    Just my opinion, but Jackson is still my #1 pick if the 2019 draft were re-done now.

    Absolutely no way is he's still number 1 lol

    By your reckoning Sam De Koning should be number 1 because he's a premiership player and has higher ceiling? Played CHB for a premiership team which is just as hard as playing ruck.

    He's absolutely no way ahead of Kozzie Pickett as a starting point.

    Chad Warner up from 39. What a steal.

    Kosi could be higher given 100 goals and defensive pressure.

    Jackson has a high ceiling and may or may not get there. Serong, Anderson, Warner are consistent performers now so are rightly ranked higher at this stage.

    If Greene played for a good side he’d be number one. He is a gun. Anderson is also really really good. We are just starting to see what he can do. 
    On the contrary if Jackson ended up at GC nobody would ever speak of him again.  Jackson was very lucky to get to the right club at the right time. We really fast tracked his development and he was lucky to play under Gawn and with one of the best midfielders going around.

    I think on known form I would have him around 7-8 and you could make an argument he would be last on that list.

    So Freo v the Tankers today. Should be interesting viewing.

    Is there another game on today that I should be aware of? 😜

    Most arrogant thing they did was include 2 flags in their 5 year plan back around 2018.

    They genuinely believe they will always win flags on a regular basis.

    Do we want the Tigers to win to go above freo, or are we really gunning for pick 1 and the Eagles to win?

    I want Eagles to win for Hunty. We won’t get to pick 1. Hawks have it in the bag.

    That would rely on Hawks losing to a WAFL side down in Launceston in a couple of weeks.

    That would be the ultimate tank job.

    If we make a GF and Cats are the opponent I would instruct the boys to somehow get Cameron out of the game early, legally of course!!!!

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
