Freo are 1.6% above GC so could we hope for the Hawks to wallop Freo and North to upset the Suns giving us pick 4 and still a chance at pick 1?

    checked the ladder predictor

    would need around a 40 pt win to the hawks and a narrow win to north

    Narrow win to North? Do you mean GC?

    I wouldn’t get too carried away about the prospect of Hawthorn beating Fremantle at the G today. I can clearly recall the night when those teams met earlier this year and the Dockers gave the Hawks a 69 point flogging at Optus Stadium. It was the night of King Charles III’s coronation and I was trying desperately to avoid the boredom of that spectacle only to fall into a worse hell in my capacity as a Freo Death Rider. The Hawks couldn’t take a trick that night and the Dockers played like certain finalists.

    And please don’t remind me that today’s game’s is being played at the MCG. We know what happened in Round 11 at that venue.

    And that’s my dose of DRFSS for today.

    Let’s go Hawks and Gold Coast. 

    I find myself conflicted.

    It seems we might have had a deal available with WC to get 1.

    If JT was set on Reid I trust him.

    Personally I would be happy with 4 and maybe trading for Suns’ 5 and then go to the draft with an enormous hand, to bring in several really talented players.

    I think Horrible Hawthorn are a good chance of beating Feckless Fremantle at the MCG.

    Especially with Jai Newcombe back in for the Hawks.

    Nevertheless, we shall wait and see what happens I guess? 🤷🏼‍♂️

    no i was going with the dream scenario of us getting pick 4 and WC finishing last so we can trade for pick 1

    Thanks Freo!!  Have enjoyed this death ride more than I should have.  Bell (end) has now paid massive overs for Jacko.  He will serve them well, but he has now served us well - a flag player in 2021, and #4 or 5 now, on top of the other picks.  Seems like a deal we have done very well out of!

    GO Dees, and although I disgust myself by saying it - Go….hawks??

    Freo's fall has just made the Jacko trade closer to it's true value. We would have been stitched up if the first round pick had of been late teens as Freo had expected.

    At the MCG today to show some visiting international friends our great game but most importantly, the joy of death riding.

    Go Hawks!

    About to head off interstate. When I land Freo better be 20 goals down.

    Keeping an eye on the ride ladder... erm... live ladder.

    Late in the first quarter and we are currently getting pick 4! Woo hoo!

  • Quote

    Usually the Hawks are quick starters but they look sluggish today. Freo well on top 

  • Quote

    The dream was a comprehensive hawks win and North by the slimmest of margins. Can't see it happening now.

    Guess we want suns to smash north to get above freo on percentage.

  • Quote

    Fingers crossed the Hawks lift and win this.

    Also hoping the Suns belt North from here as insurance.

    Worst outcome unfolding for us with these two games.

    North likely to keep pick 1.

    Freo increasing their percentage on gold coast by another 1.5%.

    Pick 5 now most likely.

    Assuming Freo win, we are very lucky to get pick 5 out of a 10 win season

    the team in ninth are on 11 wins

    • 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?
