Win Prizes Port, Pies & Saints 2024 Death Ride

[Snuffaluphagus]

There are some rule changes, as it's my baby and there has been some... disappointing opinions in here. The thread is for cheering on picks, you deathride or you have civil conversations in the non-freo thread.

**** Port, **** Pies, **** Saints!!!!

Atleast WCE can't tank their way to pick 1 now

It was a small possibility if Tiges beat North and North beat WCE

Death, taxes and Gold Coast being disappointing.

The suns are a fake club. They should be wound up. I don’t believe they will ever ever play finals. Light years off it.

All the draft picks in the world can’t buy a soul. I reckon the AFL have sunk $150m into that team and all for nothing.

As for the deathride I’ve kinda lost interest since it appears we will be giving these picks to Richmond for Bolton and maybe baker regardless. Does it really matter if we end up with 7 or 9 or 10? It’s tigers fans that should be in here deathriding really.

GWS are equally as soulless IMO. Doesn’t change anything that’s they’ve been more successful. No fans. No one cares.

These clubs play in two team states and still sell games to alternative venues. Enough said.

Also reckon you’re way off with $150million sunk into the Gold Coast tbh. Add a zero to that at least.

Just realised that Melbourne our so bad that Collingwood have managed to climb a spot on the ladder without playing a game of football.

IKR, need the blues to beat the pies by 50 odd to push them back down a spot, wouldn’t count on them doing anything that helps us though.

 

[Purple Suit]

Pies pick definitely getting worse now

It probably doesn’t matter if we trade it. 2-3 spots means nothing either side as you can only trade whole picks.

Matters if they ask for more though

The difference between 9 and 7 is generally pretty big

Cost us like pick 28 to do that for young/Serong a few years back

I recon Pies will beat the Blues for Pendles but lose the last three. This game is their last big motivator.

There is such a vibe around pendles 400th here in Melbourne this week. This is like a GF for the pies. I can’t see them letting Carlton spoil the party unfortunately.

Blues have a lot to play for, not only beating a rival, but top 4.

Not sure Pies have the cattle, or the cohesion. I think the Pies will have a crack, but would be surprised if they win. Need to start well.

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Sorry deathriders, I’ll be hoping Port beat Sydney and the Pies embarass the Blues. We’ve got a sniff at Top 2 and some silverware, that matters to me more than what pick Richmond get for Bolton

Yep, and I’ve tipped both those results

I was hoping there cabinet was going to keep collecting wooden spoons.

Every wooden spoon they win you take off 1 premiership from there collection.

Take a mental note: can't rely on the Suns.

Never mind dropping below the Pies, they're a half decent chance to drop below the Saints. ****ing useless campaigners.

Did you bet on them against the Weagles?

 

[Heave Ho Bro]

Begrudgingly and with a heavy heart I will allow St Kilda to beat Brisbane this week to open up 2nd spot for us.

But Port and the Pies can get f'd. No more wins for them.

 

[Dockeroo]

Surely finishing top 4 or even top 2 takes precedence over whether we get pick 7 or pick 9 from Collingwood, or pick 12 v pick 14 from port?

I’m not sure about the rest of you but winning in September is far more important than winning in October or November.

Serious footy clubs win in September. Let’s leave the October and November victories to the Gold Coast suns, and the Stephen silvagni and Adrian Dodoro types.

Port and pies victories today please, to do the Fremantle footy club a big favour.

If you asked JL or any of our players who they would prefer to see losing both games tonight and they won’t hesitate to give you the same answer - our direct rivals Carlton and Sydney.

Maybe so. It’s a 50:50 game at best for me. I’ve been rather taken aback by how poor Carlton have been in recent weeks. Absolutely rudderless against port with a real lack of on field leadership last week.

The pies haven’t been much better but the emotion of a club legends 400th has to count for a lot.

If we had ever managed to get Mundy to 400 I’d expect our boys to run through brick walls to win him that game.

This is the death ride thread.

Where picks take precedence over anything.

 

[Heave Ho Bro]

All we need is Brisbane dropping one more game and we take care of our end. Winning these last 4 is well within our capabilities. We haven't had a big win streak this season so getting 6 on the trot now is the perfect run into a real tilt. No difference between finishing 1st and 2nd aside from who you play in week 1.

If we can't beat 2 middling sides on the road and win our last 2 at home with what's at stake then what are we doing?

But this is the death ride thread.... where we death ride things...

 

[doppo]

2 weeks in a row of compulsory barracking for Carlton
This thread really makes a freo fan go to some dark places in life

 

[muzzington]

The night is dark and full of skill errors.

 

[Quazar2]

I feel like the Deathride thread is a bit like an S & M dungeon. You sorta wanna peek in, see what it's all about but the moment you come in and have to sit down, you immediately start feeling uncomfortable, sweaty & salacious.

Then afterwards you feel kind of dirty and emancipated all in one go, depending on the outcome.

Sad times brothers & sisters, sad times..
