Certified Legendary Thread Deathriding Dogga's Dockers in 2023

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Freo had 136 marks, Jackson had 0. Thats hard to do, very unicorn-ish, well done Luke.

 

[Scythe94]

How on earth did Freo, after making a semi, manage to score St Kilda, North, West Coast, Adelaide and Gold Coast for their first five games?

At least, if they manage to lose another one in that next four, the chances of that pick being nice and juicy are pretty high.

Pretty unfair on Luke having to play on Zayne Cordy first up.

Their last 2/3rds of the season is much tougher.

Crazy considering the AFL tried to have all of the supposed top teams playing each other early

Had this game on in the background while watching the kids, which I believe qualifies me as some kind of expert on the Freo football club, and I have to say that I think we're in with a chance of getting a decent pick out of this. As anyone who was an MFC fan in 2019 would know, young teams rarely progress linearly, so I think there was always a chance of Freo regressing a bit this year, and that was before factoring in all the players they lost during the off-season. I can also safely say that Fyfe and O'Meara are completely cooked, their forward line is a joke, and beyond Brayshaw I don't see a lot to get excited about in the midfield (maybe I've just not been watching them enough, but I don't get the hype around Serong - seems like a very vanilla sort of player to me).

I also don't know what the * they're planning to do with Jackson. To me he looked about 5kg bigger and less mobile than he did with us, and I don't think I saw him contest a single centre bounce as a ruckman. This tells me they're planning to use him almost exclusively as a key forward, which strikes me as a pretty efficient way of pissing $900,000 against the wall. He still mistimes his leaps, he still plays from behind, and he still can't impact a contest, just like when we was with us. It's one thing to be a bit flakey and mercurial when you're a backup ruckman on the rise, but not when you're the highest paid bloke on the team who's expected to come in and replace a 40-goal full forward. He's on a hiding to nothing if they expect him to be the one thing he's never shown any aptitude for.

On the positive side, future Demons recruit Liam Henry looked mint.

To me he looked about 5kg bigger and less mobile than he did with us - Mate i was thinking the same thing, he looks massive and didn't look explosive at all

If he was weighed at 102kg at Pre-Season than he must be around the 105 - 110kg now

There's a good chance he bulks up too much and ends up like late career Kurt Tippett

- he's terrible at intuitively using his body in marking contests so adding more body weight isn't really going to help. He needs to run and jump at the ball to clear the pack and have any chance of marking it with his usual double grabbers.

Yep, no point bulking up if you have no idea how to use it. Mule with a spinning wheel

 

[booshboy]

Freo lose. Jackson stinks. Glorious

 

[Scythe94]

Pick 1 come on down

 

[Johnny Karate]

 

[Tulip]

Should be 95kg and playing midfield and around the ground. He sure ain't no forward. They clearly didn't make a proper plan for how to use him.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

11 possession 0.5 mark 0 goals and 9 hitouts a game = 2 firsts and 1m a year.

 

[Deelighted]

he he

 

[willba_victory]

He didn't look great today FWIW. Was very fumbly.

Massive karma bus hitting freo right now. love it!

You said we got ripped off, dont jump on board now

When do we start posting highlight videos of the top ten draft prospects?

 

[MartinPrince]

I could honestly swallow a bad year if we had our pick to try and nail an actual forward but the fact we don’t is absolutely gutting.

This is the part that kills me .
A good draft too (that’s universally acknowledged) with some great young WA kpfs plus some genuinely good all round fwds tipped for top 10.

 

[Topkent]

Hogan MK2.

Hogan MK2.

Kinda weird the similarities. Both never felt super invested in the club, both had their best year for us in their 2nd year of afl. Both a bit of a mummy’s boy (Although much more sympathy to Hogan given his dad died) and took massive deals to Freo. If he’s a bust they’re never going to trade with us again.

Not gonna shit on Hogan for his dad but I see more similarities in them both being different units, both taking massive offers to go home only for both to look unfit on arrival. Both wrongly used aswell. Hogan should have been used more like Cameron, but everyone wanted to use him like Hawkins. Needed to build his tank more and have him in the midfield like he was doing for us in 2018.

Let's add the two first-round picks to our best 22 even before they're drafted

Let’s double down and add those draft picks to the best team for 2024, but one at CHF and the other booting Viney out of the starting midfield.

 

[Tulip]

Jackson just doesn't look that invested. Same deal as the back end of last season. Does he actually like football?
