Just for those following who will get Harley Reid. While hawks are firm favourites, so are Melbourne....who have the Dockers’ future first-round pick and the Dockers’ future second-round pick because of jackson. 

Great to know that we’re on one of the lines of favouritism to get Harley Reid while still being a strong contender for the flag. And even in the likely event that we don’t get young Harley, it’s good to know that we are going to end up with some quality young players if the Dockers continue to be putrid - all thanks to the benevolence of Mr. Bell.

    What about Archer Reid? Sounds like a great fit for us and at 203cm and 93kgs, sounds ready for AFL.

    The Suns are at their best on their own home turf and are pathetic when the opponent has home ground advantage. Neither applies next week when they play the Dockers at Norwood Oval where hopefully the red and blue army will be out in force supporting them and adding some more nails to the Freo coffin.

    So Peter Bell has given us:

    We drafted someone with the second round pick in 2018, can't remember

    Omg, imagine this for a scenario.

    Round 23, Melb plays Hawthorn.

    A Melb loss sees us retain top spot being two games clear and  Hawthorn move off the bottom of the ladder replaced by Freo who end up with the wooden spoon and pick 1 goes to the dees. 

    Geez that would be awkward.

    Probably be done for tanking.

    Our luck would be we field our Casey team and win after the siren.

    We can dream.

    I reckon they may as well put the Suns in the bin. A terrible football club.

    Terrible coach. St Kilda and Gold Coast were about equal at the end of last year in potential and most would have had Gold Coast ahead of Saints in pre-season prognostications. I had both outside top eight.

    St Kilda only have about 28 players to pick from yet they have desire, structure and purpose in spades. I don't think I've seen a better example of coaching making a difference. He's a weird bloke Ross Lyon but he can certainly coach. A couple of those players are going to be stars of the competition. To name a couple Owens and Caminiti. 

    And just a note of sobriety to all our frothing at Freos failures (myself included) that Caminiti was last player on a list in 2023, overlooked by everyone. Draft picks don't win premierships.

    Yet for completely different reasons. Ours was with so many coming back from surgery, not enough of a pre season to be fit enough etc. Theirs is self inflicted poor list management.

    Suns made no changes in the off season to make them any better for this season, lost izak rankine and the best player brought in was *checks notes* Ben Long...  😬

    They just can't kick a score, they may as well have the second worst fwd line in the league.

    Hawthorn's forward set-up looked ok against North last week. Brockman looked the goods kicking 3. They definitely played better than anything Freo have served up this season so far

    There are some awfully smug people on this forum. lol

    We have a game on today. We should win easily but there are no guarantees.

    What if eagles come out blazing they could jump us  especially if the umps run with them.

    Atleast they cant turn off the lights.

    Mate, this is supposed to be a fun thread (i.e. not serious/objective assessment on Freo).

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
