Assuming we finish last this year, we would obviously aquire pick 1 (Natununi), but what draft pick selections would follow?

    We can finish last and not get pick #1. Richmond and Carlton still qualify for priority picks under the new draft regime.

    Impossible to say this early who the top 10 will be. Injuries could play a factor in where a kid is drafted.

    Assuming we finish with less than 18 points, we would qualify for a priority pick after the first round.

    So, Carlton and Richmond tanking notwithstanding, we would have #1, #17, #18, #34, #50...

    pick 1: Nicholas Natanui

    pick 17: Charles Shaw

    pick 18: someone else as good

    16.5 points. not 18.

    Can we stop this never ending argument?

    How about we all say 4 wins 18 losses and we get a shiny toy surprise. Any more and we don't.

    2009 is going to be a thin draft. I'm conflicted on what to do, trade up then or now? Not at all?

    2010 will be a fat draft (because of the increase in age) for the clubs with picks 6 - 13 and 16 - 30. But 2011 and 2012 will be back to a normal draft and if with the concessions still in place we better be on our way by then.

    PS. I am in favour of giving teams that lose players to GC and WS compensatory picks, but it's difficult to arbitrate that. I'm sure clubs will bring it up.

    it will stop if people dont get it wrong. 4 wins and a draw wont get us the pick.

    I did say LESS than 18, deanox. Since 16.5 is impossible to achieve, I thought it was just as poignant. If you can deduce a way to get between 16.5 and 18 points, thus rendering my statement inaccurate, I will accede to your superior knowledge.

    Just say, NOT MORE THAN 4 WINS.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
