With the result of last night's game, it's a virtual certainty that Essendon will finish 12th and receive draft pick # 5. The Bombers cannot finish lower than 12th and given that the Blues have won an extra game and have a substantially higher percentage, they cannot fall lower than 11th. Ironical that the team that tanked in 2007 cannot achive anything by tanking their last two games this year. The draft order for 2008 therefore is:-

1 ?

2 ?

3 ?

4 ?

5 Essendon

6 ?

7 ?

8 ?

9 ?

10 ?

11 ?

12 ?

13 ?

14 ?

15 ?

16 ?

    So I guess today we are playing to seal up picks 1 and 17 or not playing it would be i suppose.

    A few more spots might become a bit clearer by the end of the weekend.

    15. MFC

    For MFC to finish 15th, we'd have to beat the tiggies by 10 goals and WCE lose by 12 goals... not gonna happen.

    Richmond playing for a possible finals spot. they beat hawks.... they are a better them than us

    wow i didnt think thats what had to happen with how many goals we had to win by and them to lose.

    Richmond cant make the finals as St Kilda won last week.

    The top 8 is set in stone

    Or a more realistic scenario would be Melbourne winning by 3 goals and WCE losing to Geelong by 20 goals.

    Exactly. That would result in WCE in winning the spoon too.

    If Geelong don't beat West Coast by more than 100 points they will have done badly.

    I have a feeling some of the Richmond players will be thinking: 'finals are over, who cares if we win, we're gonna finish 9th', and they might take their mind of the game a bit. Melbourne will be 100% committed to getting a win (which doesn't help us, but anyway). So I think there is a small but significant chance of a Melbourne win.

    If Geelong win by 110 points +, I won't be able to sleep Saturday night.

    Ideally for us we would love West Coast to get within 60 points against Geelong, so we can enjoy a win on Sunday.

    I can't decide whether to I want Collingwood to lose this week, or go deep into September but not win the flag (so that their first pick is later in the draft).

    Yep, that's right HT. North finished lower than Adelaide on the ladder, meaning they finish 8th overall, Adelaide finish 9th.

    • 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.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?
