Obviously Gold Coast & Hawthorn winning today is what we needed to get Pick 4 so will have to settle for Pick 5, but actually I feel better with both results going the wrong way. It would have been more annoying in a way if only one had happened. And of course North losing Pick 1 is a plus. Actually I guess we shouldn't count our chickens, West Coast haven't lost yet.

    I reckon Meth Coke are still a chance to beat The Croms

    After Last Weeks disgrace, it would be hard for Adelaide to go 100%

    Well this was great fun, and as one of the inaugural riders I will take your thanks and your undying admiration and gratitude.

    Jackson is a singular talent that they tried to stiff us and the football gods were having none of it. 

    ND5, 13 and 25 is about right.

    Pick 5 and 24. Thank you dockers, it's been fun.

     

    I’d still rather have kept Jackson, if possible.

    Pick 1 back on, better than Suns finishing above Freo and securing pick 4.

    We may well end up with the Suns’ pick 4 anyway, it’ll just cost us slightly more than if it were pick 5.

    Pick 1 to the Dees could be back on if Kangas win today…

    In what way would we recieve pick 1?

    Same. Would fit perfectly into our preferred set up and succession plan for Gawn.

    But 5, 24 and Jefferson is not a bad result considering he was never staying.

    Imagine Oscar Allen in a Dees jumper, I would take him before Reid.

    125 pages. Wowee. Well done Demonland, and just about perfectly played Freo (minus round 11).

    Absolutely our low point in the discussion when we hoisted ourselves on our own petard, cost ourselves a place in the draft order and a possible home game in the first week of the finals.

    Freo #9 pick (2019) wants out. 
     

    What goes around comes around. 
    Liam Henry - don’t recall the kid taking control of any quarter of a big final.

    I'm thrilled at the karmic smack Freo got for their arrogant attitude to the trade, but I'm also quite sure that the mostly young and mostly very good Freo side (particularly the midfield) will rise up and be a serious challenger next season, and that they won't regret having Luke Jackson, either. So my conscience is clean.

    From this day forward, I wish all the second best to Fremantle.

    Some kind of cruel poetic irony that a player, whose absence from Fremantle this year, helped sew up their demise and aided us getting pick 5, kicked the winner against us.  What a fantastic final series he's played so far.

    Maybe we should've asked for him in the pick trade. #Hindsight2023 :laugh:

    He with the Feathered Cap has met his demise:

    fremantle-dockers-appoint-new-football-boss-joe-brierty-as-peter-bell-moves-into-different-role

    It is the classic 'sideways' shuffle to avoid sacking or demoting someone.

    He has made some monumental list blunders since taking over and cost Freo dearly.  Not sure about the wisdom of appointing a long term staff member into the Footy Manager role without other staff changes.  It will take them years to dig themselves out of the hole Bell created.

    What a good year for List Manager changes:  both Dodoro and Bell gone!!

    The  Omac signing might have been the last straw.

    He hasn't been signed yet so no Oscar isn't relevant.

    No more Peter [censored]. He provided plenty of comic relief over the journey so he'll be missed.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
