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 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.

    • 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?

      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.
