I’ve watched the GF replay so many times that I feel like I know this guy personally. 

I reckon his wife was like “I told you this was a waste of money” and he was like “I hate this woman”.

I know you all are looking for Freo to fall so we get a good pick for next season but I'm more involved in this season and wish nothing better than us winning tomorrow night. Could not care less what the Dockers do.

All-time greatest death-rides?

Can’t exactly recall or be bothered looking it up, but future trades commenced sometime around Clarry’s draft year, and we were at the forefront from the beginning.

There’s probably an alternative universe out there where the Demons have been death-ridden on some obscure footy forums. Indeed, there’s now likely a multiverse of death-riding annals.

As a weird microcosmic geopolitical inheritance metaphor, we were Africa, constantly selling out our future, but have somehow skipped a generation and are now the kids of Switzerland.

My questions are;

What’s the best and worst death-rides any team has had against us? North Melbourne I think gave us Pickett for a future first? They got some guy called Tom Powell in exchange?

What are the all-time best and worst death-rides, and are we a chance to top that list as the finest ride ever? Something about the Carlton Stocker deal? What did the Crows end up with in return?

There are multiple parameters in this buckle-up quiz, so please choose one or add your own variation in preamble to avoid arguing at cross-hairs.

1) Pure draft slides and points is an easy measure of future-first gambling. But has to be considered without context and a team’s expected trajectory.

2) Subjective, but who won and lost with ladder gambles? We finished 17th in 2019. North thought it was a trend. We probably couldn’t stop laughing in our tank-bank.

3) This one is a can of worms and will never be satisfied; but post-future-trades, who are the winners and losers according to the players the teams ultimately picked up with such picks?

Pies traded a future first pick for 3 x second rounders in the 2020 draft 

That future first pick became Finn Calaghan, selected before Nick Daicos

Pies didn't need to trade the pick out....in hindsight

Thanks Dazzler. I knew someone would get there. 👌

Went along tonight and cheered hard for the Swans; good for the Dees in 2023 seeing a challenging Dogs lose AND the extra bonus was seeing Sydney cruise pay the Dockers on the ladder. Back to the G tomorrow night, go Dees.

Wow!

You flew up to Sydney just to watch Freo lose a spot on the ladder. I admire your dedication👍

Freo have pies, swans at home, cats and lions away next 4. could easily lose all 4 now that the swans might have found some form.

hawks have north, Richmond and saints next 3. win 2 of those and they'll be pressuring Freo. I reckon Hawks will be my second team for the next couple of weeks.

Long odds still but pick 3 would be a monumental result for us.

Yeah I get where you’re coming from.

I think this thread went off the rails when people wanted the Bulldogs to beat Freo two weeks ago despite Bulldogs being in direct competition with Melbourne for a top 4 spot at the time.

Luckily it’s all seemed to be working out as the Dogs are falling off the pace and Freo find themselves in the bottom 4!

The death ride went off the rails??

 

If we don’t finish top 4 it’s on us. Forget about what other teams do and don’t do.

So I death ride for all time!

Or until end of august 

Whichever comes first

While  of course winning this year is more important than a pick, I can walk and chew gum at the same time.

Here's my tuppence worth on this matter.

If you are writing some sort of formal document or academic submission then accuracy in spelling and grammar is vital.

However, on platforms like Demonland it's more about people being able to comfortably and confidently express their opinions on a subject they are no doubt passionate about.

Provided the meaning of their submission is clear, I see no good reason to dampen their enthusiasm with unnecessary pedantry.

Expressing one's opinions does not necessarily mean communicating. Sometimes I simply give up after reading a sentence two or three times trying to decipher what someone is trying to say. 

"I take for granite some people's poor grammer. More pacifically how there always thinking "for all intensive purposes" is supposably correct. Buy the way lets eat Fred." There cutting homeless people in half!":

    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.
