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

They didn't look like they were tanking last weekend against North.

I guess we'll find out on May 6 when they play each other

    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?

    The teams they play twice are:

    - Sydney

    - Brisbane

    - Geelong

    - Bulldogs

    - Hawthorn

    - West Coast

    Make of that what you will.

    Great viewing today!

    Freo sitting 1-3 (lucky win after injuries plagued WCE) and have this the next few weeks:

    GCS (in Adelaide)
    Dogs (Home)
    Brisbane (away)
    Hawthorn (Home)
    Sydney (away)
    Geelong (home)
    Melbourne (away)

    If they are better than 3-8 I'd be surprised. Could be as bad as 2-9 is the Sun's get them this week in Adelaide.

    I can’t wait to play them. Gawn should be back by then. Jackson will have a real fun time out there.

    Just some of the wisdom on the Freo board

    Melbourne are really going to love the top 3 draft pick we'll be gifting them this season.

    Great no first round pick either to at least get a bit excited about

    The Luke Jackson trade is a disaster and we will have to live with that but at least he's an okay player.

    Going to be great watch Jackson spud it up whilst Melbourne's pick 2 wins 3 Brownlows.

    So as it stands it we have essentially traded in Grundy, Jefferson and a 5-10 pick for Jackson.

    It could end up one of the all time best trades albeit its early days.

    Jackson might well still be a great footballer, but hard to see him winning another flag in that jumper.

    Not sure if the club saw it this way, but Grundy had the runs on board and we got him at the same price. I just hope Grundy’s length of contract stands up..

    Yep try and get themselves a good third round pick 

    I love Jaded. Love her…

    Okay, I'm being purely sadistic here but how about we aim to use our 2023 draft picks to take the best tall defender (Curtin, from Claremont) and best ruck (Edwards, Peel, and Freo Academy) just so we can watch Freo supporters implode?

    Handily, they're probably the two most suitable first round picks for us, anyway.

    I mean, recruiters always debate 'best available' vs 'needs', but I don't think there's enough consideration of merciless trolling as a draft strategy.

    ...and then they trade Jackson back for a salary cap dump.

    It's not cool to claim someone else's joke, rpfc. Next you'll be saying you're high on potenuse.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
