Unpopular opinion here but I hope Fremantle win tonight.

Essendon have a joke of a fixture in late July/August (Nth, Wc, Syd, GWS) and are a legitimate chance to take our spot in the top 4.

They will drop 1 or 2 of those...

I hope they win tonight, their next 4 are tough.

If they can make top 4 with that draw they deserve it.

You really can be a glass 1/2 empty kind of person at times.

As much as I'm on this ‘death ride’ with the rest of ya’s, it’s sorta morphed into a Jackson bashing session.  Remember it’s about where Freo finish this season.  Jackson might be dealing personal

I like this. This is one of the more reasonable posters over in purple land on Bigfooty.      Melbourne laughing at us. Langdon for peanuts now Jackson for 2 firsts (one looking low!) plus

I don’t hope Essendon win tonight.

They’re nipping at our heels for a top 4 spot and I expect them to beat Port next week (post bye theory) and then Adelaide at Marvel. Then their easy fixture commences shortly after.

They're not that good.

If we can't win 7 of our next 9 we won't make top 4 & don't deserve too.

I think we will.

EFC won't have anything to do with it...can't see them winning 8 of 10.

They will be lucky to win tonight, I hope they do.

Well I want a better pick so I want every team to beat Freo. 
I don’t care about those around us. If we are good enough we make the top 4 on our merit. Maybe having to scrap for a top four might get us actually going.

I'm in the minority that want the bombers to win evidently. Give me them low picks and watch the bombers get knocked out in the first elimination final and build false hope.

I think you’re in the Majority that want the Bombers to win.

I’m in the minority that want Essendon to lose tonight (and in future weeks) so we can get as much top 4 breathing space as we can from the likes of Essendon, Bulldogs, St Kilda etc..

Fair enough, I mainly read anti-bomber sentiment which I completely understand.

We don't know how the rest of the season will play out so I will be content for Freo to win and give us some breathing space.  Hanging out for the possibility of better draft picks is less important than getting into the top 4.   And feels (in a weird sort of way) like 'supporter tanking'.  

Our window is now.  Don't need some star pick who may (or may not) develop in a few years.  (On the other hand, I realise a low pick may give us a trade to get what we need now.)

Also, I hate Essendon.

We are in the now but aren’t performing like a genuine now yeah and a low pick from Freo might give us a good kid who does come in ect year and perform. Look at how some top 10 picks are playing across the league. Sheezel would slot in nicely to our team.

Sure, but no quarantee that a 'ready-to-go year 1' player will be available to fit our specific needs, or that they won't be available a spot or two lower in the draft.   I'm happy to leave it to Freo to lose to teams that are no threat to us.

Dees currently with pick 5 with Sydney comfortably ahead of freo on percentage.

Still want essendon to win.

I'm of the view that if we have to hope for teams around us to fail for us to qualify for top 4 then we aren't much chop anyway. Let freo fall as far as possible and put top 4 in our own hands.

Either way I'll be happy tonight.

Bombers win helps our draft hand. If we fear them taking our top 4 spot, then we have much bigger problems.

Freo win and I'll get to enjoy a bombers loss.

It’s the way I’m looking at it.

But the idea of Bell failing badly makes me want a Freo loss each and every week!

Oath. 

Cannot believeee people are riding on the hope of other teams falling around us. 

We will dictate our position by wins and losses. And at the moment, we look a mile off a top four side. 

We should be riding a Freo loss every game, regardless of who they play.

Who else really looks like a top 4 side ?

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
