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.


3 hours ago, whatwhat say what said:

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.


It’s been great fun. Thanks for the memories Freo. 

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.

I'll be deathriding Everton till the next deathride here.

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: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
