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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
