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.


The death ride will be cracking the next two weeks

% watch this weekend and then Suns should beat North in the last round

prediction? pick 4 is ours

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.

season 1 friends GIF

 

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: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
