Random Task

Would love nothing more than freo falling to 16th. Somewhat poetic justice given Jackson himself was pick 3. If Hawks can get over the Tigers next week I'll dare to dream.

That's a fair ask being two games down and a 12% difference. Freo also to play West Coast. Would have to win 4 out of the last 6 and freo just 1 out of 6.

I'd feel bad for them, but then I realised it's hilarious and [censored] hawthorn.

Yes Ashcroft will be in the conversation as well. It's O'Sullivan for me at this stage though. What he was doing last week against the Allies was freakish.

Jagga Smith and Finn O'Sullivan fighting for the early #1 mantle for next year. Smillie has got good wraps on him but not as prolific as those two.

The way I see it its; 1. Reid 2. Walter 3. McKercher Would love him if available but I think we will have to give strong consideration to Watson. Him and Kozzie in the fwd 50 would be a nightmare for opposition.

Perfect set of results for us this week. Freo vs Sydney next week huge for our pick 4 prospects.

Funny, reality is that he's religious and enjoys a red.

Carltons going to replace the saints in the top 8 by the end of the h&a season.

Unlikely they drop out of the top 2 but I think the showdown could go either way and GWS may push them as well. Can see a dip in performance from them after 13 straight wins, teams can rarely sustain it.

Subbed out of the game now.

Walker stretchered off with a knee injury, possible dislocation. Take no joy in seeing players injured. Hope there's no structural damage and he doesnt have to spend long on the sidelines.

Pick 5 probably. Walter (GC) will likely go top 2. Rogers and Read (both from GC academy) will be first rounders but most likely later half of top 10 onwards. No f/s prospect so far is being talked about as top 10 potential. Of course this can all change.

That's probably a fair enough assessment and can't see him coming in this late in the season in the lead up to finals. I think he has the agility and iq to get by without speed, was also showing good defensive pressure at Casey in the last few games I saw. I agree though he certainly looks better when rotating through the midfield. Next year I'm hoping we will shake this team up a bit and give a good string of games to Howes, Laurie and Turner (only if warranted of course).

Tomlinson for Petty - get him fit Laurie for spargo Last swap won't happen and probably won't be popular here, but I rate this kid and reckon he has the tools to take and exceed spargos output as a half-forward. Been impacting at Casey, is excellent and creative by hands and rarely wastes it by foot.

We've beaten Pies and Lions while we lost to Port by 4 in a game we probably should have won. We're right in this premiership hunt.

6. Max 5. Petracca 4. Melksham 3. McVee 2. ANB 1. Viney Apologies to Lever and Rivers.

When was the last time a team got to 100 points first and lost the game?

We certainly had our low intensity de-loading phase in the second and third quarter 😅

Rivers huge in some final moments there. Thought it was ANBs best game this year despite some of his moments. Smith slotted in nicely in defence. He may have found a permanent spot as our sub with his versatility. Viney a beast. Petracca a star.

As frustrating as parts of that game where, I'm bloody proud of our team and the fight they showed. Great moment for Melksham.

Gotta give that handball Max, should have hit the scoreboard within the first minute

We should inject rivers into the middle. Hardly been seen after a dominant first quarter.

Games done. We aren't getting numbers to the ball and losing contests. Team doesn't look fit.

Lucky to be in this still
