What if we ignore the draft entirely and package up our 2 first round picks in a trade for Ben King?

I'm not sure, but where have I heard about a trade like that in the recent past?

Dunno Flash, I'd love to have him but not sure how many Texas-sized checks we have left in the kitty!

Would probably require someone like BBB retiring a year early

So ideal scenario is WC last, Richmond 17th and Freo 16th?

However hard to see both NM and Hawthorn above Richmond and Freo.

No the ideal scenario is Freo finishing last...not likely but ideal non the less.

Unfortunately the tank is on at both West Coast and Hawthorn whereas Freo and Richmond have nothing to gain by finishing as low as possible. So I think pick 4 is the absolute best outcome we can hope for. 

West Coast, Hawks and Norf will fight to the death for that spoon. We play Hawks twice and Norf once more… so good luck to us if we think Freo finish bottom.

LOL.  The bf Freo board has a thread called 'Roast - Vent Here'.

They must be wearying - just little wimpers this week rather than the earlier maddening rage.

Very interesting game this week. Maybe it’s wishful thinking on my part but I give the hawks a big chance. They’ve been playing ok particularly in the first halves of games before fading in the second. A good start against freo and who knows.

I’ll be glued to this game on sat night

You might want to load up on booze or something. It’s going to be a very ugly poor quality game! 😆

looks like darcy might miss with injury this week, so dog will undoubtedly star as a starting ruckman

And Freo might then realise that he is in fact a ruckman. Damn.

Will be interesting if that happens, will leave Longmuir with a very difficult decision. Do the Hawks even have a ruckman of note?

If Mitch Lewis learns to kick straight he will be unstoppable. One of the best contested marks in the game at the moment.

He might not be of note, but the Hawks have Meek, the ex Docker ruckman, who dominated against Casey for the Box Hill Hawks.

Whenever I watch the Hawks play, their ruckman, Reeves I think he is, seems very ordinary.

Freo are slops. Hawthorn have had a few close games but if Freo spank them then posters are right about hawks tanking. If fatso Darcy is out then Hawthorn has to be something of a chance.

Freo will probably win otherwise Longmuir will be lynched outside Fremantle Yacht Club.

Let's go WC tank! 

Hoping the Eagles tank is a heavier Soviet era model.

Managing their best players for a winnable game! I wasn't sure but I think it's absolutely obvious now that they are tanking.

I just hope that rotten club languish at the foot of the table forever more. Serves them right. And i hope North and the Eagles finish below them. 

In fact, I hope they go bankrupt. That way we won't have to put up with their insufferable supporters and God awful guernsey.

Managing players at round 8 when you are slop? Breust needs managing? For what... Finals?

I bet nobody at AFL house will even blink an eye about this very obvious case of tanking. That only happens to Melbourne.

Freo by 10 goals.

Hawks are expert tankers with a demeanour of ‘how dare you say we do what we are doing’…

ND4 the best outcome for us. Which is great.

Sam Mitchell is a genius. Nobody else can see the brilliance of his thinking.

I, for one, applaud the innovation of coming into a winnable game and 'resting' your leading goalkicker.

This also means that this is the first game since 2008 where Hawthorn haven't fielded any premiership players.

Official end of an era.

Breust you could understand, but Jiath is a kid.

The tank is on...funny if Freo still blow it.

    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.
