This Dogs win is good for those of us that want freo to rise up the ladder a few spots and take pick 4 from the demons.
If we beat Brisbane I don’t think the Dees will have pick 4 and I can deal with that. As disappointing as the season has been.
I know it makes no difference to our draft hand but I would absolutely vomit if they drafted a future HoF player with our pick for Luke Jackson and there is a much lower chance of doing that with pick 7 or 8 than pick 4…

To me it says, “Zorko has dished a lot out, not good at receiving it”.

Not doubting what happened, but cry me a river Zorko.
the surprise with zane dorko was that he had genitals both in his pants as well as those obvious ones on his forehead

Naughton is really a shite kick
I agree and I think the negative impact of having a shite kick for goal as your spearhead key forward is underestimated.
The sigh of frustration in a close game when your main target butchers a relatively easy chance is hard to describe and it provides a shot of oxygen to the opposition.
We have all watched Jack Riewoldt a lot over the last decade. Is there a more clutch performer in front of goal from a set shot this decade? Maybe JK for our mates over the road.
If you were a Richmond fan I’ve the last 7 or 8 years and Jack took a mark 30 m out, you could sit back, relax and take another swig of beer and get ready for the centre Bounce. It’s going though the big sticks 90% of the time.


Naughton in that situation? Max king, McKay? Fyfe?
Get behind the couch and start praying. It could literally go anywhere.
The amount of anxiety that is removed from a team and a fanbase in the stadium watching that team, is massive when you have a reliable set shot kicker.

Lynch
 
You missed Mundy.
I know 😔
Kicked myself after I’d posted

Funny how the most recent memories can taint such a Sterling career .
Even the great Buddwah almost succumbed to this , redeemed himself last half of this year but has been pretty average the last few years and was at risk of being remembered like that .
Simailar to Fyfe and his goal kicking

Recency Bias I think is the trendy term for it .

Naughton would probably miss if he tried to kick himself

Eagles won't be road kill next round. If that pussy manages to lose to them he should be on notice.
They’ll definitely be harder to beat for us because they’ll give full effort unlike most of their other games but this is just a horrible horrible game of footy
