Feel for Jackson TBH, the kid seems to be on a hiding to nothing. 

7 years at 7-800K a year isn’t nothing.

    Jackson has played his best footy when Darcy has been out injured or when Darcy has been in injured.

    Basically when he gets to carry the ruck load.

    ...as we know, he's not a forward.

    We have the same issue with Max.

    Kid's party idea: Pin the tail on the Longmuir.

    The feathered caps will be on sale if the Swans get over them in two weeks. 

    Although I don't really like saying this... I hope Collingwood smashes them next week and kills any fighting spirit left in the Dockers.

    Then it becomes a down hill until the end season for them, all the way down to bottom 5 🤞🏻.

    The kid made his own decision, I have zero sympathy for him if it doesn't work out for him at Freo.

    Yep. He'll retire in his early thirties a multi millionaire. Dont forget Freo might come good in a few years. Why would anyone feel sorry for him. Absurd.

    If they don't keep losing talent perhaps.

    A lot of noise about Darcy leaving to go to Jeelong.

    They still need a proper fwd line, I don't think Amiss is a differential player, he may be solid but won't be a Cameron or Hawkins level forward.

    Amiss is basically Fritsch +8cm. I think it is fair to say that if Fritsch had had those 8cm he would have easily been drafted in his first eligible season and got off to a similar flying start to Amiss. I agree though that even with those extra cms Amiss (or theoretically Fritsch) does not change to become that traditional bully key forward. Both our outstanding players, though and both should be in routine AA third tall discussions for years to come.

    Hence why I believe it was a weird decision to get him in with what they paid for him.

    He didn't fit their team balance.  they already lost 1 decent ruck when bringing him in plus other first 22 players. 

    As for us losing to them, it was the same as last year when Freo has that purple patch of wins and then dropped away.   We should have won, but didn't. 

    Interesting to see what free do at the end of the season.

    Even more interesting in the approach they will now take till the end of this season, will they continue to push hard and experiment with new players/setups ready or next year.

    This article has the remaining fixtures for all teams. Having looked at all those team around Freo I expect Swan, Richmond and Carlton to finish well above them.

    The two team that concern me the most are the Suns and GWS as both don’t have any easy games in the run in. 
    Think it will be between those two and Freo for draft picks 4-6. I’d be happy with any of those picks. But I’ll be death riding hard and hoping we get pick 4.

    Suns are a certainty to drop off a cliff, they always do in the last part of the season.

    Suns play the Saints at home, they should win, but they lose a lot of games they should win

    Pick 4 would get us into the Harley Reid conversation for sure.

    Without knowing how we rate the other highly rated kids vs Reid, I like the idea of focusing on getting as many good first round picks as possible to give the list a bit of a refresh rather than selling the farm for 1 player

    If Collingwood finish top and we finish fourth it’s the same as the other way around. Maintain our position and avoid an interstate first final. Up to us to stay there. No benefit for us in finishing higher. Just hope Port stumble a bit and Collingwood keep cruising.

    the preference is the pies at the G for sure but if it comes to it I have no fears of playing Port at AO either. They have [censored] the bed there in finals matches in recent years so we can be confident of beating them.

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
