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. ย they already lost 1 decent ruck when bringing him in plus other first 22 players.ย

Nothing new here. He's primarily a ruckman and they already had a top level ruckman. The big issue from Freo's perspective is that they basically gave up last year's 1st round pick and this year's 1st & 2nd round picks to get him. I assume this was based on the expectation that they would improve in 2023 and possibly make Top 4. I don't think they'll finish Bottom 4 but after last weekend's loss could definitely be as low as Bottom 6.ย

If Collingwood finish top and we finish fourth itโ€™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.

I understand Collingwood are playing Fremantle next weekend but reckon these posts belong under the Run Home Thread.

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.

Could become a Fritsch type and style player, reckon he's got some quality attributes.ย

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

Think we should be happy with what we'll eventually get draft pick wise but if there's s chance for H. Reid. Get him. I'd love to have him on our list.ย

On the eve of the Collingwood vs Fremantle game itโ€™s heartening to see the Dockersโ€™ first pick listed at #5 in the current draft order from Zero Hanger.

Hard to see them improving enough for that pick to slip higher - my ladder prediction shows them finishing 15th = #4ย ย

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. ย  We should have won, but didn't.ย 

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.

Are you talking about Melbounre and grundy??


The sacking of Dew could be excellent for the death riders.ย 
It might put a rocket up GC to win a few more and get ahead of Freo on the ladderโ€ฆ and GC play a few teams pushing for top 4 as well.ย

He's been one of their best players this year so a big loss for them this weekend.

He would look good in the red and blue. I wonder if Freo would take pick 4 and 22 in a trade for himย ๐Ÿ˜

The Run Home for pick #4

  • Richmond don't have their 1st pick so won't be looking to 'lose' games.ย  They play the bottom 3 sides so are more likely to go up not down the ladder.
  • GC have many winnable games, depending on which GCS turns up
  • Dockers don't have their 1st pick and will be desperate to win games but doubt they will win many as they play the top 3 teams and last year's premiers.
  • Swans have a softish draw so will probably go up unless they put the 'cue in the rack'...

It looks like Freo will deliver pick 4 or 5 - more likely pick 4.:cool: if GCS win a few to impress a new coach.ย  Their second pick # 23/24 which we hold, will slide due to the number of Academy players in the top 10/first round.ย ย

He's been the 'play starter' in their midfield this season. Reckon they get smoked even more without him.ย

I really hope that in the last round the Swans aren't in a position where they can't go up and therefore affecting there draft position so that they just lay down for us. We also don't want them to go down (below Freo) by us beating them.

It will probably be Buddy's final game, packed house at the SCG so they will be highly motivated and go all out to give him the send off he deserves.ย  Often forgotten in the GOAT discussions.

By then I think we will be locked into 4th so the result of the last game won't matter.ย 

I didn't have high hopes for this thread at the beginning of the season but I'm a fully fledged Deathrider now.

It could be Longmire's last game as coach too. What is his contract status? He may hang up the whiteboard.

  • 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 forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” 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 Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
