Death Riding Fremantle 2023 - Feathered Cap Edition

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 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?

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

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
