There's really nothing else to say in this thread other than something derogatory towards Fremantle.

    Jury is out on that one. I just want them to finish down  the ladder, they won’t finish last or second last if we could get pick four through six I would be delighted. Getting the picks we get for Jackson and getting The Bun will have been a great result. Our selection / negotiating team have done a great job again.

    Okay, I’d be prepared to get our original pick 3 back for LJ along with last years late first round pick and this years early 2nd round pick as payment for his development…you’re welcome PB

    Had a good time cheering on the Giants yesterday, and currently backing in the Suns against Richmond. Things going very nicely, Freo looking more and more likely to only finish above North, Hawks and the Eagles.

    Devastating draft cost of big name trade

    Can anyone who has access to this HS article let us know just what it’s saying (aside from the obvious we get Freos pick)

    TIA

    God I’m loving this death riding. Freo, GWS and Suns games all going our way this weekend. Gives me a genuine interest in an extra 3/4 games a week.

    NOVEMBER DREAMING OR NOVEMBER NIGHTMARE?

    Fremantle knows Luke Jackson will be a 10-year-plus player who will play a big role in the club’s future fortunes.

    But the Dockers would never have dreamed they might end up giving up so much to claim the 2021 premiership player.

    And that’s something which is keeping Melbourne fans watching the down-and-almost-out Dockers as much as they are their own team.

    Freo played finals last year and would have expected to do the same this year. That’s why they were content trading last year’s pick 13 as well as a future first and future second to the Demons.

    But after a 2-5 start to the 2023 season – and with their confidence looking shot at times against Brisbane – the Dockers look to have no chance of playing finals this year.

    If things stay the same, and the Dockers remain in a similar ladder position, the Demons might be getting a pick 5 or 6 or 7 this November, as well as a mid 20s pick as well.

    That’s not Jackson’s fault, and the Dockers are more than happy with him. But you can also understand why Simon Goodwin and Demons fans are watching the Dockers so closely.

    I wouldn't trust Peter Bell to run a bath, let alone a football department.

    Two marks this week. Two.

    At about $100,000 a mark 🫠

    I still laugh at the thought that he’s getting paid more than 6 time AA ruckman and premiership captain Maximus Gawn 😂

    Freo play Hawthorn next weekend. 

    Hawthorn get the job done and anything is possible in regards to a top 3-5 pick.

    That 4th tank could very well be Richmond

    Their first pick is tied to GWS is it not? So I hope they tank. 😄

    Yes the irony would indeed be hilarious

    My head tells me that Hawthorn has no show of beating Fremantle in Perth but my heart says otherwise. Still, I remember very well the Sunday evening when Collingwood went over there and upset them in the rain. I think it was the start of the Magpies run and, in all likelihood, the defeat that cost the Dockers a top four berth so here’s hoping.

    I am taking the weekend off the death ride. Hawthorn are tanking quite well right now - a couple of honourable losses ensure Smitchell can continue the tank away from prying eyes half a world away.

    Dont you play them into form Hawthorn! We love their stilted ball movement and unimaginative play!

    IT IS INSPIRING

    if freo keep this up we will be in a unbelievable draft position

    Looking at each teams needs I think hawks will take Reid pick 1

    westcoast could take Moir (from Adelaide, west coast supporter) pick 2 

    North need a key position player, already have wardlaw sheezel powell and L Davis Uniacke, maybe take curtain or A Reid

    Gold Coast may trade back so they don’t waste high first round pick on Walter so we could be looking at dursma Watson caddy A Reid 

    Maybe we trade with Gold Coast with some combination of our first and second round pick for their first 

    maybe bring in some combination of dursma/ Watson with archer Reid/ caddy 

    also like the look of Connor o,Sullivan

    • 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?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
