Wait, shouldn't Freo have had a pick by now? 🤣

Christ when do the draft selections actually start.

AFLW: SF vs Geelong
The "Possessed" bollocks was the very encapsulation of cringe. Trying to suggest we were in everyone else's heads, then to crash out in straight sets, to the Big Clubs with their 19th Man and all that. Terrible.

Less wrong on the upper levels though. 😀

The Pick 1 Thread
I'm not sure how this would work from West Coast's perspective. Our picks aren't high enough to get Curtain, so why would they trade out 1 to us, thus missing out on Reid, while also missing curtain. They'd be mad not to trade with North for 2 or 3 though. That way they'd secure curtain plus other talent with what they get back.

I fear he'll be in his 40s by then.

I look forward to reports confirming that he is undertaking the 1140km round trip to and from training several times per week after he bails for the Crows.

Studies have shown [citation needed] that AFL players have a statistically significant risk of an unusual comorbidity combining homesickness and chromophobia - fear of certain colours - that conveniently limits their options when it comes to relocation to one's home state.

Harrison Petty
There was that time mid season in 2016 that Jesse Hogan posted a photo of him at the Perth house he'd just purchased? https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/freo-target-jesse-hogan-buys-perth-house-may-not-be-dockers-hero-any-time-soon-20160624-gpr1l8.html

Harrison Petty
[censored] him off. Been at our club for half a decade. Premiership player. Yet talks like we're some day job he begrudgingly puts up with. Don't give me the "not media savvy" [censored] either - he's been in the system for 5 years already - he's not some green draftee. As if he's not aware that playing golf with players from the team trying to poach him during that very trade period on a badly injured foot is provocative and a shocking look.

2023 List and Contract Details
At 21 surely we give him one more year to see if he can take that next step?

Nah. Hawkins' arms are much oilier.

2023 Best and Fairest
But is someone really the best player for the season when they miss almost half the year? Where should the line be drawn? Get 60 possessions and kick 10 in round 1 then miss the rest of the season with injury? Maybe a team's best player on paper, but not the best player for the team over that season I'd suggest. That said, regarding the Flower winning only 1 matter I'd agree there's scope maybe to tweak the scoring system.

He's waiting in the limo. He may yet be subbed in for the dessert course but no guarantees.

Melksham set to play on in 2024
Fantastic to hear! I'd be delighted for him if he could get back to AFL fitness by the back end of next year. Him being in the wings would keep pressure on McAdams too should that trade eventuate.

Mad Monday… a thing of the past?
AFLPA: "Hey Gill, the season is too long. Can we make it 30% shorter?" Gill: "Weren't you just telling me you wanted the salary cap increased?" AFLPA: .............. Gill: " Hello? ... Hello?"
