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 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?

    I’d still rather have kept Jackson, if possible. 

    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: 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?
