It doesn't really matter that much...as long as we win less than 5 games, that means we get pick 2, 18 and 21, as opposed to 1, 17 and 20.

In this years draft there seem to be 3 genuine contenders for the number 1 draft pick (as was in 2001).

1 is a KPP (Watts), 1 a ruckman (Naita) and 1 a midfielder (Rich)/ So either way, pick 2 we will get 1 of these 3 which we will all be happy with.

As for the consequences in the PSD of coming second, i highly doubt WCE will pick up Warnock in the PSD considering they have Cox and Seaby.

Seaby is a quality young ruckman who is playing a lot of footy in the WAFL because WetToast dont have room for him. they dont need ruckman, they will most likely look for a player like Prismall... which leave Warnock open to us anyways

    Warnock wants to return to Melbourne so WC aren't going to pick him. I'd say we'll trade him for a 3rd round pick and then grab Primsall in the PSD

    'sylvinator', if we win as many as 4 wins & a draw, then we will miss the priority pick....(16.5 pts = not more than 4 wins)

    that's true...

    neways... about the idea of getting Prismall PSD and offering 2nd rounder for Warnock (pick 21)... i like the sound of that.

    However if we don't come 16th then all plans go out then window bc westcoast will have first crack at any uncontracted player.

    They will then most likely pick up Prismall if he nominates...

    Damn you West Coast for getting a goal on the Siren and getting .34% for your rubbish franchise to be .12% ahead of us.

    The Dees need to win or loose by a slim Margin to bring justice by the rounds end. I think we need to make sure we don't finish with the Spoon just for the mental damage of being part of a team that finishes last when the list is so young. I think we need to play for Watts in the Draft and forget about Warnock as well, unless West Coast are willing to give him to us for a couple of packets of Strapping Tape and a 6 Month Subscription to The Age.

    Don't underestimate what MacGyver could do with a wooden spoon, a newspaper and some tape. The guy could probably win a Premiership with it. Particularly with a couple of good draft picks.

    Haha, good call. If we had MacGyver in the Ruck and our current list, I think we could go places in a short space of time.

    Ooooh. Nearly.

    .12? So if we lost by 5 goals or so our percentage would improve JUST enough to pip them.

    First half of the season we were easily the worst side in the comp. Now we're almost out of the bottom 4 on current form.

    Wouldn't it be nice to rebuild and have a crack at a flag WITHOUT winning a wooden spoon?

    Very topical bub...

    Would you believe by 10pm Sunday night chief? B)

    PS: The Eagles in their current format have to be the best club for any young player to make his AFL debut against. Just ask Brad Dalziell who got 32 touches for the Lions last night at the Gabba.

    On that basis, I would suggest to the MFC selectors that they keep Saturday 16 August free for the debuts of Jack Grimes, Addam Maric, Tom McNamara, Kyle Cheney, Jake Spencer and Trent Zomer as well as for the triumphant return of Isaac Weetra and the farewell game for Benny Holland if he recovers in time from that shoulder injury.

    Damn West Coast. Anyway, a win today puts the two west australian teams in the bottom two spots on the ladder, which should be enough reason to go for a win.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
