I literally laughed out loud and had to explain to my husband what the hell this meant. 
He said “you’re deranged” 😂

First off I think "deranged" is reserved for WCW. Secondly, you should explain the term " schadenfreude" to him. Thirdly, if he fails to appreciate your highly refined sense of humour, I suggest he might not be a "keeper" (unless he is a MFC supporter of course)

Must prioritise ladder position over draft pick at this point in time. Go Freo next weekend and go Geelong!

[Gawndy the Great 9,009]

I don’t think Lions can win next week against Freo but I’d expect Port to give some form response against Geelong. Was touch and go with Alir potentially missing - who knows maybe some delayed concussion.

As I mentioned in another thread it is interested to hear migraine being mentioned instead of concussion regarding the Port head clash incident.

The Suns have done us a massive favour, but unfortunately Freo's win may give them a bit of confidence heading into the final few games

Their only home games are against teams above us so they can go for it. They definitely win against WCE. Maybe the Hawks but that’s at the G in the last round - we will see how motivated they are. I think they win 2 on the way home but still finish 15th on percentage.

Honestly if they’re motivated enough to beat Brisbane and Port, they’ll do us a solid. 

[Jibroni 4,910]

If Freo can knock off Port and Brisbane I would be more than happy to slip a couple of spots in the draft.

I have been thinking about theme song for this thread. Because it needs one. 

And found one, with both a death riding AND nautical vibe (tricky to find a track with both elements).

Then the anchors (deliberate rhyming slang) beat the Cats and scuppered that for this week.

Or, so I thought"

Thanks to the Suns, i now give you (by the by, a brilliant track from one of the greatest ever AO rock records @whatwhat say what):

Death ship 

I am the captain of a ghostly crew,
Sail the seven seas with nothing to do.
The girl that I thought was untrue
Really loved me

Near hidden reefs we appear in the gloom
Luring mariners to their doom.
As we're condemned, we condemn others too.
Who would love me? Who? Would You?
I'm asking you.

I'm on the Death Ship,
I sail the seas alone.
Death Ship, I can call no port home.
Lost souls cry to Hell in the wind
Let us in, let us in, let us in!

I need somebody who will die for me
To free me of this misery.
I need someone who will cry for me
Really love me, really.

Looks like Port has a very bad history of managing concussions, surely the AFL will step in? 🙄

[Whispering_Jack 29,174]

Amazing what a Dockers win has done to this thread which I found on Page 3.

Anyway, this is how things stand with four rounds to play:-

NM pick for Logue and Tucker from memory

Assume the ride is out of commission this weekend?

People surely want Freo to win so we can go ahead of Brisbane on the ladder....right?

Nah we just need to win by 15 goals more than the lions.

Absolutely.

But on top of that I want GC to beat Adelaide so there is some kind of buffer above Freo.

I get the humour in your post, but we need to get a game clear of the Lions for insurance purposes, not just percentage.

Nah, we will win our last four and pass lions the lions on percentage - even if they beat Freo and happen to beat the pies at Marvel (which i think they may well do). 

What we need is a high scoring bruising, niggly encounter that the lions win by a point. Though i'd take a draw.  

And i wouldn't mind Zorko getting weeks for hitting however tags Neale out of the game and/or gets into his face all game about being a loud mouthed, whining thug.   

The Freo Lions game is late Sunday arvo in Perth, which means a late flight out of Perth for the the lions and players back in their own beds at 3am on the Monday.

The Lions play the crows at the gabba on the following Saturday, so a six day break. They are favs for that game, but the Crows, who have a 7 day break, won't be easy to beat.
