freo have Dogs Lions and Swans in the next 5

😃

Never mind Dogs Lions and Swans. The Suns will beat them next weekend.

Their next 16 games are mostly against top 4 contenders or teams that played finals last year.

I can't see them winning more than 3 or 4 of those. Maybe 5 best case scenario.

 

I wonder if my theory now has some merit.

It was that other players are unhappy about team mates being traded to fit LJ in and jealousy at his contract.

This death riding has already been a lot of fun. A top 5 pick in a super draft seems genuinely attainable. The Jackson trade, combined with the Grundy acquisition could become an amazing move, if it isn’t already

2007 - 2018 EO we were in it from 1998 - 2006.!!

Thanks.. I have zero sense of time. Just that it ebbs away quickly!

 

Crows will give Carlton their first proper test of the year next weekend. I'll be tipping the Crows.

Freo reek of Melbourne 2019. Long season ahead for them.

This deathride is going all the way. 

 

That I thought at the end of their 2022 season 


Say we get pick 5 from Freo, is there a chance we actually trade up to get pick 1?

I am assuming we could stack pick 5, pick 23 and our own second round pick?

Great result, didn’t watch the game. Is the player we are linked to Henry? He is copping an absolute Pasting on their big footy board.

We have our own first rounder as well, we are in a very good position.

Yes it is, and I only watched the 4th quarter & I agree, he didn’t look great

He was very poor ball in hand. Butchered all his possies.

No chance Hawks are giving up pick 1.

You wouldnt want to be a football personality in Perth. Coach Longmuir is now copping it.  Heats off Jacko for a few weeks..Maybe. 

Who would want to live in that environment. Longmuir wont read the papers tomorrow he might choke on the chocolate egg.

The only way we will get pick #1 is if Freo finish last. That is highly unlikely. 


They're in such a fish bowl that I wouldn't be surprised to see a new Freo coach this year. As long as they don't go after Yze.

Not highly unlikely. Definitely possible. They play Hawks twice. On current form, the Hawks win those games

But they won’t. They’re tanking hard. 

 

People in the future will look at 2023 in their history book and ask "Why did the Dees receive Priority Picks after winning the flag?"

Edited by John Demonic

Our 2023 draft picks based on last year's finishing positions are: 

Melbourne 13, 14, 32, 33, 88

I'd be ecstatic if that turned into 1, 18, 19, 38 & ? On Fremantle's revealed form those picks 13 & 32 are going to be a lot higher. I hadn't quite appreciated how easy a draw Fremantle had early. I assume that as they finished 6th their remaining draw is pretty tough. Which 6 teams do they play twice?

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
