    Gives Hawks a chance of knocking off the Saints this week. Could make the last 3 weeks a real hoot.

    I literally laughed out loud and had to explain to my husband what the hell this meant. 
    He said “you’re deranged” 😂

    Like us in 2019, Freo are in a rebuilding phase - players in for surgery early , experimenting with players in new roles, trying new strategies, giving some young players a run, working out who to cut etc etc.

    Clever, as its not really tanking as such, but has the same benefit of ensuring a high draft pick to bring in a gun or package up draft picks to say to do what we did and trade in a player of Ed Langdon's quality to fill a clear need and a grab a second round gem like Bowey.

    Well played Freo.

    Oh, hold on. I think I've got that wrong.

    The dees get all the same benefits of our 2019 season, but none of the pain of finishing 17th - and in addition to freo's first and second round draft pick, we get our own first and second round draft pick! 

    Sorry, not sorry Freo.

    If it is any consolation Freo, i will be forever grateful and you will always have special place in my heart for the joy you have brought dees fans.   

    Also, as further consolation my purple friends, pick four has terrible record of producing decent players.

    Oh, hold on. I think I've got that wrong.

    Nick Daicos went at four in the 2021 draft as did George Wardlaw in 2022. But don't fret my little anchors, both have probably hit their ceiling.

    And yes, we might trade up to get the most promising forward in the draft for many a year, but again don't let the angst overwhelm you - number one draft picks have mixed record of going on to be superstars. 

    And whilst a forward line featuring JVR, Jefferson and Reid is simply a mind blowing thought, it is a few years away from being a reality, which gives you, my darling dockers, several seasons of fully bottoming out to grab some high draft picks you can actually keep (unless of course Bell decides to trade them for English because you need an elite ruck with Darcy heading East because Bell brought in a young, not yet proven ruck to take his minutes and salary).  

    Sooo in other words, you're just happy we're getting pick 4..??

    You're probably right - two massive bogans.

    Hawks need to make up 2 games and 10% with 5 matches remaining to overtake freo.

    Unfortunately freo have West Coast 

    We need hawks to do saints in then hope for an upset against Collingwood or bulldogs (hopefully not us).

    Hawks play freo in the final round which could decide pick 3 or 4.

    Much more likely if hawks had held on against Richmond last week.

    May the Death Ride continue today

    🤞🤞

    Cats vs Freo at KP

    That'll sort out the % differential between them and Hawks!

    Keeping a close eye on the Suns game today. Hope they can spring a surprise or at least lose by a smaller margin than Freo do. 🤞

    Very conflicted today. I love the death ride but hate Geelong.

    Ideally Geelong loses today but Freo still finish in bottom 4 at seasons end.

    GC and Freo win, we can get to the Lions and Geelong drop out of the top 8.

    In Tasmania they stuff a steak full of Oysters. Odd concept at the best of times, but the name is what really completes it

    Pick 4 is, objectively, the best draft pick this century.

    In fact, the unsuccessful pick 4s are almost entirely limited to Barry Prendergast selections!

    Actually, on further investigation pick 5 may actually have pick 4 just slightly beaten thanks to the incredibly early run of McVeigh, Franklin and Pendlebury, and overall consistency with almost no 'misses', and those misses are GWS anyway.

    So I'll be able to remain calm if Freo put in a little bit of a late season spark and somehow climb to 5th-last!

    We should try to trade up to get both 4 and 5 because I don't think there's ever been a draft without at least one of them going on to be absolute pinnacle-level champions.

    Good on you, Lloydo.

    At least, Freo have played in a GF in the last decade. Your mob haven't even managed a finals win in almost two decades. Have some self awareness...

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
