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.

Thanks! I finally get what was (to me) an obscure reference...

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.

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..

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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
