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?

We can hope.

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!

it’s go time!!!

fasten your death ride seat belts!


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!

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


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.

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: 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?
