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!

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

  • Quote

    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

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
