Let's go! I've used a random number generator to determine the draft order. When it's your turn, you'll have up to 24 hours to make your pick (otherwise you go to the back of the queue).

With pick number one, we have Falconista. You're on the clock.

So you are blaming this on mother nature?

The auto pilot was wigging out so there were extended periods of hand steering...

BUT!!! I have no-one to blame but serial_thrilla for spreading the lie that you only need mention my name ten times in order for me to appear.

Everyone knows you need to say it 29 times!

Jackson is a great selection but everyone upset with that should look at Raz who clearly got wind of me taking Treacy and made sure to jump in early, forcing the Jackson pick.

Not a Dogga act at all.

I've only ever had one buddy and that didn't go well - does the name Matthew Uebergang ring a bell

Haha I’ll take THAT as a compliment cos clearly I’m way older than you think I am. 20 years - pfft not even close

Matthew Uebergang. There’s a name I haven’t heard for a long time. Imagine if they’d had GC and their academy back then. We wouldn’t have got a look in.

Mar 4, 2025

Hello my purple friends, another season has quickly rolled around and that means we have another season of Game Previews to look forwards to! For those new to the concept, here's the skinny...

Since 2017 many brave yet foolhardy souls have been the standard bearers for the Fremantle Football Club when it comes to irreverent yet informative previewing. Righteo was the initial architect of the concept, and since then many of us have saluted in the most creative of ways. From the poetic melt of Arcassius in 2017, to the *...

I can only deduce that anyone who isn’t logging onto Freo Bigfooty every 4 hours day and night must be an undercover Carlton supporter.

It is the only logical explanation.
