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 ?

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
