    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 REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
