    It is and ive been guilty of thinking this way for a while as well. But the last 6-8 weeks has shown me that KPF are not the be all and end all.

    We need kicking skills in our side desperately. This year using (potentially) two top 10 picks to bring in 2 elite midfielders will provide us an enormous uplift in our ball movement department. If we go by the likes of Norf in securing a player similar to Sheezel, i can see them certainly adding some run off half back for year 1. This then allows us to move Bowey or Salem into HF and Rivers into the middle or a few other options. You can then look at having Oliver, Rivers, Viney, Sparrow, Brayshaw as a midfield group, Trac as a 70/30 forward and our team looks immeasurably different with talent spread more evenly across the ground.

    If the Hawks can jag one win before the last round and WC gets up in the game with Freo round 24 could see a good old fashioned tanking game between the Hawks and Freo! 
    Maybe if we win our next four and lock away a double chance we could rest all our players to throw our round 23 game against the Hawks to improve our draft picks (joking!!! Joking!!! Don’t come at me!)

    The other thing to consider is that we have a bit of a glut of A and B+ grade mids in something like the 25 - 28 yo age bracket.

    We need a few more future A grade mids comming through underneath in the 18 - 20 yo bracket, so we don't end up the Hawthorn/Eagles/Richmond in another 3 or 4 years.

    All the cool kids are going on about the failure of Gawndy, interestingly i haven't heard much (i must admit i don't listen that closely anymore these days), about the failure of Darcy and Jackson.

    Looks like Jacko has the ruck duties for a couple of weeks, i think it will suit him.

    I don't think Freo have a lot of excuses personally, I think they really just need to look in the mirror.

    They lost some key veterans and placed their hopes in a 21 year old kid who, in my opinion, doesn't deserve the kind of money they are paying (at least not yet, maybe in 3 or 4 more years).

    Makes me happy to see all the failures/mistakes from Peter Bell

    There should be just as much talk on the 2 ruck situation at Freo this week as there is around Grundy and Gawn in my opinion.

    This would have to be the hottest thread in all footy club forums right now if they were doing a top 10 excluding gameday threads.

    There is no incentive for Hawthorn to keep winning games the best pick we will get is 4

    Surely you dont believe Hawthorn will lay down against us in a few weeks time?  I give them a chance against Richmond this weekend. Richmond struggled most of the day against a WAFL team .  Martin got a goal on the final siren ( a free?).

    IMO we're already winners. Even if Fremantle win a stack of games from here, they won't make finals, so their first pick is going to be a top 10 pick.

    So we got 13 last year, a top 10 this year, and Fremantle's second rounder this year too (at worst, something like 30), for Jackson and last year's 44 and 67. I'm happy with that, all things considered. It's a bonus if Fremantle struggle and stay closer to the bottom 4.

    The only time this thread lost the plot was on the 1st day of July when posters actually wanted the Dogs to beat Freo which therefore had them equal on points on us in the pursuit of top 4.

    Top 4 > a couple of draft picks higher up the board.

    I wonder if posters will be cheering Brisbane and Port to beat Freo if top 2 is still a live chance for us?

    • 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.

      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?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
