Richmond has to knock off north next week and I'm not overly confident about it. Could slide back to pick 6 in worst case scenario.

    Silver lining for a Freo win next week v Port, will be us back in the top 2. If the Pies also get it done. 

    Edit: I mean this slightly sarcastically. Massive silver lining lol

    Why is Richmond tanking? Don't they know the pick doesn't belong to them?

    Hardwick saw the mess and jumped early when offered a nice young list

    Not surprising to read that a lot of aspiring coaches aren't applying for the position.

    We'll finish with a pick between 4-6. JT will find a very good player for us in that range i'm sure.

    West coast Eagles are a laughingstock. How is Adam Simpson still in a job?

    Cost a fortune to break his contract.

    Things are so bad now after Freo debacle they may have no choice.

    Will be staggering if he's still there in 2024. Theyre a very wealthy club.

    They'll cut a massive cheque and be done with him.

    Adam Simpson is the least of the problems at West Coast

    Their list management and fitness and conditioning teams need to be thrown out. 

    They need a complete overhaul of both.

    Health and conditioning head has been sacked. And no doubt their recruitment has been poor.

    i think Simpson is a big part of the problem. for whatever reason the players are obviously not playing for him. Thats a death knell for any coach. the only reason he is still there is because of his contract. Too expensive to sack.

    Goldcoast now playing like they’re tanking. Hard to believe they could be this incompetent.

    Useless bloody Suns couldn’t hold onto their lead, but the umpires did help to drag the blues over the line.

    Pick 4 will still be ours as long as the Suns can knock off roos and the hawks can take care of Freo.

    GC lost but didnt lose much %

    Freo should lose some % tomorrow hopefully

    Yes. That push out of Casboult was pretty obvious. 4 umpires and none of them can see it.

    pick 5 minimum and still a good chance for pick 4.

    The hawks will beat Freo next week i reckon but I hate relying on the Suns to hold up their end of the bargain. Wouldn't be surprised if the chit the bed against the roos. Most undependable team in the league

    Roos losing in the Reid cup is an absolute certainty.

    Well it was, until the WC board changed their stance on the potential to sack Simpson.

    Yes but they still have Curtin.

    North could have called their bluff and said take Reid and we take Curtin.

    Then swap them 2 years later anyway.

    Both clubs now get their first choice player.

    true. but WC could have split pick 1 and got a couple of picks. 

    do you think they'll split pick 2 or take curtin with it?

    I like our chances of getting Pick 4. On form I can't see how Fremantle beat Hawthorn and Gold Coast should beat North. Or both sides could win or lose and Gold Coast make up the 1.6% percentage differential (32 points right now).

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
