I enjoy this thread, but it makes me a bit uncomfortable reminding me a bit of the days when we pinned our hopes on an early draft pick messiah.

    That is not the vibe I get. 
    It’s about getting maximum return for a player we spent pick 3 on and also laughing at Freo after they tried to screw us.

    It's also about poking fun at a pig-headed club and list manager.

    We could actually win the whole bloody thing this year, while Taylor sets us up for the next decade with picks 4, 18 and 22. Get excited Sue.

    oh I am.  Just this nagging feeling about over reliance on hanging out for picks in the past. Not relevant now.

    I hope the swans win today but I have this terrible premonition that Freo may win.

    I like this thread because i get to laugh and cheer on another clubs' misfortune. A misfortune that we get to benefit from. It's great fun. Petty and mean-spirited fun for sure but great fun, nonetheless.

    I know I'm being extremely pedantic but in fact there will be 19 spots between the draft picks we get from Fremantle assuming North finish below Fremantle (a pretty safe assumption). This Special assistance pick comes in just below North's 2nd Round pick (which they traded to Adelaide). Ironically this extra pick was traded to Fremantle.

    So, based on Fremantle finishing 14th (where they are now) and Melbourne being Premiers, Melbourne's picks will be 5, 18, 24, 37, 91. Who knows how many father/son and academy selections push the higher picks down and pick 91 up? (not that we're likely to use our 5th round pick). I'm hoping we pick up Kynan Brown as a father/son. Not sure how high he will go.

    Go Swannies (for this week at least!).

    Tom McCartin out. No McCartins, Reid or Rampe.

    Tough ask. Here’s hoping.

    Swans 18 to Dockers 7, 25mins into first.

    19 to 7 at 1/4 time.

    I actually don’t mind Sydney but find it almost impossible to go for a team with Tom Papley in it.

    Neither of these teams will play finals thats for sure.

    Freo getting more of the pill but their ball movement is so predicable. Swans not very inspiring either.

    that umpire is a clown. 

    I take that back. Blakey is a clown

    Swans very poor. The mids are getting taken to the cleaners and they can't move the ball.

    Freo much the better team. They should win but they are always liable to shoot themselves in the foot so you never know.

    45 to 32 in favour of Freo at the half.

    Tom McCartin pulls out, Mills off early 1st quarter and Sydney seem to have stopped.

    Hopefully big Swans second half.

  • Quote

    17 free to Freeo in the first half

    5 fifty metre penalties given

    quality umpiring!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
