Suns playing well but i won't get sucked in. They're the most unreliable team in the AFL.

Mac Andrew has come on a lot. Looked very unsure early in the season.

Great mark Cameron

We should never bemoan a Geelong loss. Not to worry. We’re still getting a good pick. And go Suns

Very conflicted today. I love the death ride but hate Geelong. Ideally Geelong loses today but Freo still finish in bottom 4 at seasons end.

The better Carlton does in his absence the more likely this becomes an option. I don't know whether he is open to leaving but he would make a massive difference to us. In terms of cost i'd give Carlton our first rounders this year. If our later pick isn't satisfactory maybe, we can do a deal with GC to get there's. And I'd prefer to use our picks on McKay than trading up for No.1 to get Harley Reid.

Blues up to 5th! The Carlton hordes will be up and about. I'm surrounded by them at work. I have to admit their choke last year was hilarious. One of the funniest things ever. I almost felt sorry for them. Almost. Would be fun to watch them stuff it up again this year but i don't think they will. I think they'll finish 5-6. They'll be a tough opponent in a semi final for one of the losing QF teams.

I've chucked my crystal ball in the bin.

Hang on. not over just yet

Great to see the pies kicking the game away. Sickening to see the Carlton fans up and about.

2 soft frees to curnow this quarter

This guy

Cox head subbed off

looked a goal to me.

Comparing me to Peter Bell! I'm deeply insulted. Not proven is little unfair i reckon. He kicked 32 goals in 2021 and 23 last year (although he was wayward and kicked a lot of behinds. his yips are fixable though). Was a first round pick. Eagles were apparently chasing him last year. At 22, he's much younger than Grundy. ACL's are far from career ending compared to back in the day. obviously any trade subject to a proper medical And i reckon he'd be playing in our first team at the moment while Grundy languishes at Casey.

dumb play cripps

I'm glad you're having a good time Jimbo.

If i was to trade JVR I'd want more than pick 1. Kid is going to be a gun.

the mute button is a marvellous invention.

I reckon this thread has been worth it for the gifs. Well done to all concerned.

I reckon 186 was worse. The 21 PF atoned to a degree but until we return the favour to the cats in full I won't be able to forget it. I hope I get to see it.

Carlton are going to have their pants pulled down tonight.

nah. gotta be a first rounder.

Grundy for georgiades is a fair swap I reckon. that said I would be very surprised if Grundy is traded. He’s Maxys successor so we’ll just create a problem for ourselves if we trade.

This thread has been a real hoot. Schadenfreude is so satisfying. From my perspective its been worth trading Jackson purely for the joy of laughing at Freo. Life will be a little emptier next season without the death ride. I reckon we should trade another player to Freo or another club this trade period for their future picks so we can keep this death riding show on the road.
