While nowhere near as interesting as the great Freo ride of '23, we have two chances to have an improved draft hand by finishing above both Sydney and the Bulldogs.

We hold Sydney's 2nd round pick which can land anywhere between pick 21 - 38 and the bulldogs 3rd rounder which will fall between pick 39 - 56 (pre-FA and other compensation).

Get your mobility scooters ready people. It's time to ride, at a medium pace.

Fair to say we gave up Grundy for a half eaten ham sandwich and a warm can of VB that's been sitting on the front porch for 3 days.

A text book salary dump.

 

Sorry but after investing so much time and energy into last year’s death ride of Freo only for us to use two selections on players who barely figured among the main draft contenders for most of the year, the entire death ride concept has completely lost me.

As it is, I’m still very happy with our three draft selections and rather than waste time on getting excited about a plethora of irrelevant match outcomes, I prefer to sit back and watch JT show his talent and do his thing at the end of November.

I get where you're coming from. The thought of being within reach of Reid, Duursma, Watson etc.. was tantalising and added an extra element of excitement. 

For me, this year at least, death riding is less about the potential names thrown up during the year, but the probable improved hand that will enable JT and Lamb to work their magic. 


I'd say both Sydney and the Dogs are a bit overrated going into the season - realistic possibility that neither will make finals.

Overall at present we have

First Round: Our own pick (18, obviously)

Second Round: Sydney (call it 30)

Third Round: St Kilda and Footscray (let's say around 45 and 50)

Fourth Round: Our own pick.

Jason Taylor is like a kid going into a 1980s mini-market looking for lollies with a $1 coin, a 50c piece and two 20c pieces and a five cent piece. He must now work out how to get the $2 grab bag.

As the original Freo Death Rider I can’t condone nor authorise this supposed sequel. 

Sorry.

Also @adonski might contest you on the OG status.

Hard to get too excited about this but I'll death ride the Swans. If they do underperform badly then a pick around 25 could be ours. JT will find any nuggets to be had with that pick, I'm sure.

 


I'm sorry but I'm still attending DR (death ride) meetings after last year's addiction with Fremantle. 

Shoes on the other foot this year for Freo. they traded in the pies and port first rounders.

Knowing Freo's luck that means Pies and Port will contest the granny

I'll deathride the Swans next week, but after that I'm taking it one week at a time.

The death ride is about the journey (****posting) and not the destination (pimpley 18 year olds)

No. I’m happy to death ride Freo again this year. Only because…………….Freo & 🔔

Yes until I physically hear the rattle, I must persist in my ride of Freo despite the attraction of jumping aboard the Swans

As a small child I was once attacked by a large Swan so their definitely tempting.

Can we death ride Collingwood because of you know who and just 'cause...? 

They can be deathridden down to 9th. I don't want to see the filth enjoy higher draft picks than that.

  • The Clayton Oliver Thread

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
