He is an absolute gun.

Will go past Max at some point in the not too distant future to become the best ruck in the game.

Next month is big for us here; GWS and WB away, and ESS and Carl at home. 

Would love to be 7 and 9 and ready for the season to be ended by Coll away.

C’mon lads! You can’t do it! I don’t believe in you! We are not Marshall! This is ATHENS! (You get that if you know Greek history and the movie 300 - it’s gold I assure you)

Ahh, 7 of 9, I can't even remember which Star Trek it was but you have to respect the chutzpah of the producers to just overtly decide "We're going to have a main character who is a model, permanently wearing a tight bodysuit". Saved the franchise.

Also, it is not possible to simultaneously know Greek history and the movie 300. You can switch between the two, but they cannot exist simultaneously.

As for those coming four games, every one of those is also against a team which we want to see climbing juuuust up above Fremantle. Ideally we would see six or seven teams finish the season on eleven wins (or ten and a draw for Blues/Tigers) with Fremantle on ten. Because we don't want Fremantle to 'fail', we just want them as low on the ladder as realistically possible. 5th last with ten wins would be perfect, thanks.

As an extension of the deathride I now find myself cheering for not only Freo's opponent but also all of the teams below Freo on the ladder who have a chance to overtake them. C'mon the Giants and Blues today.

[demosaw 1,108]

Percentage is a good guide of merit at this stage of the year. Freo are grouped with Dogs, Suns, Tiges, Swans just behind Bombers and just ahead of Blues. So we want all these other teams to keep winning without smashing out the lights. Realistically pick 8 would be nice.

No. 

That witch that disappeared suddenly said top 6.

If not, I wasted a perfectly good goat

Spot on. The permutations are endless.

Love it.

The bye certainly came at the wrong time for the boys from Cockburn.

GWS would have to be a chance this week but seem unable to string 2 wins together.

[CarnTheDees 52]

Many winnable games this week for the Deathride. GWS over Freo is the big one, but also Tigers over Saints and GCS over Carlton.

I reckon if Gold Coast beat Carlton, the club will implode.

GO SUNS!

Serong and Amish out will be huge, and the GWS ruck is playing great so could do well against dogga, I reckon GWS are right in this.

[deejammin' 2,374]

If GWS and WB can win the next two I think we’re home. Freo would struggle to rebound from that and a top 7 pick could be back on the cards. Particularly if Sydney and the Blues get a run on at some point. Go Giants!!! (Eewww I feel dirty saying it).

If only we’d rocked up and besten Freo! Argh! They’d be 12th-14th and we’d be on for pick 4,5 or 6. Dammit!!!

Well let's hope Freo can work on getting some quality losses in a row.

I'd prefer Carlton winning. We don't want Voss sacked just yet.

True. But on the other hand I don’t him getting sacked the week before we play them again. Better now

I reckon they should fo a sweeping review.

Of all 37 reviews they've had in the last 10 years.
