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.

[Supreme_Demon 4,058]

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!

fasten your death ride seat belts!

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

[Gorgoroth 13,189]

Is it just me, or are they not showing the scores of the other game?

[Little Goffy 14,797]

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

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

[BDA 23,031]

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

[Nascent 9,336]

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.

[Lord Travis 10,805]

Fingers crossed the Hawks lift and win this.

Also hoping the Suns belt North from here as insurance. 

[Nascent 9,336]

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.

[binman 44,729]

Never cared about the death ride anyway......

[DubDee 26,424]

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
