Death Ride 2.0

Random Task
in Melbourne Demons

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.

    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.

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

    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.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
