Freo are 1.6% above GC so could we hope for the Hawks to wallop Freo and North to upset the Suns giving us pick 4 and still a chance at pick 1?

    We can hope.

    checked the ladder predictor

    would need around a 40 pt win to the hawks and a narrow win to north

    Narrow win to North? Do you mean GC?

    I wouldn’t get too carried away about the prospect of Hawthorn beating Fremantle at the G today. I can clearly recall the night when those teams met earlier this year and the Dockers gave the Hawks a 69 point flogging at Optus Stadium. It was the night of King Charles III’s coronation and I was trying desperately to avoid the boredom of that spectacle only to fall into a worse hell in my capacity as a Freo Death Rider. The Hawks couldn’t take a trick that night and the Dockers played like certain finalists.

    And please don’t remind me that today’s game’s is being played at the MCG. We know what happened in Round 11 at that venue.

    And that’s my dose of DRFSS for today.

    Let’s go Hawks and Gold Coast. 

    I find myself conflicted.

    It seems we might have had a deal available with WC to get 1.

    If JT was set on Reid I trust him.

    Personally I would be happy with 4 and maybe trading for Suns’ 5 and then go to the draft with an enormous hand, to bring in several really talented players.

    I think Horrible Hawthorn are a good chance of beating Feckless Fremantle at the MCG.

    Especially with Jai Newcombe back in for the Hawks.

    Nevertheless, we shall wait and see what happens I guess? 🤷🏼‍♂️

    no i was going with the dream scenario of us getting pick 4 and WC finishing last so we can trade for pick 1

    Thanks Freo!!  Have enjoyed this death ride more than I should have.  Bell (end) has now paid massive overs for Jacko.  He will serve them well, but he has now served us well - a flag player in 2021, and #4 or 5 now, on top of the other picks.  Seems like a deal we have done very well out of!

    GO Dees, and although I disgust myself by saying it - Go….hawks??

    Freo's fall has just made the Jacko trade closer to it's true value. We would have been stitched up if the first round pick had of been late teens as Freo had expected.

    At the MCG today to show some visiting international friends our great game but most importantly, the joy of death riding.

    Go Hawks!

    Keeping an eye on the ride ladder... erm... live ladder.

    Late in the first quarter and we are currently getting pick 4! Woo hoo!

  • Quote

    Usually the Hawks are quick starters but they look sluggish today. Freo well on top 

  • Quote

    The dream was a comprehensive hawks win and North by the slimmest of margins. Can't see it happening now.

    Guess we want suns to smash north to get above freo on percentage.

  • Quote

    Fingers crossed the Hawks lift and win this.

    Also hoping the Suns belt North from here as insurance.

    Worst outcome unfolding for us with these two games.

    North likely to keep pick 1.

    Freo increasing their percentage on gold coast by another 1.5%.

    Pick 5 now most likely.

    Assuming Freo win, we are very lucky to get pick 5 out of a 10 win season

    the team in ninth are on 11 wins

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
