Highly feasible that the Eagles will lose by triple figures to a hungry and primed Geelong. Infact I would be surprised if the margin was any less.

Then if we win on Sunday, we leap frog the Eagles and finish 15th. Although on form you couldn't tip us, I wouldn't underestimate the emotion and incentive of sending off White, Yze and Holland in style.

Obviously those nostalgic fans would be happy with that result as Melbourne would avoid the wooden spoon. However I think it would be paramount that we retain 16th due to having the best draft picks and bargaining power come trade time and the PSD.

Best result would be a West Coast loss by about 8 goals, and we win but retain bottom.

Your thoughts?

Dont care what so ever about the actual number of our draft picks

What instead of

1, 17, 19

we would get

2, 18 and 20?

Is the right?And we get priority for next year if we finish with less than 5 wins.

Really i want to win, I am super pumped up to beat the tigers, love that Grimes is debuting, Petterd is back and we are saying thanks to Two greats of the club.

I want to want to win and i dont think there is ANYTHING wrong with that

John Worsfold is capable of loosing this game by 20 goals. It's just the kinda guy he is...

This would cause our win to become problematic in that we may need to rely on Worsfold to draft Rich.

Scary thought if we want Watts.

I want Rich, so I want pick 1.

I want Rich as well, but I don't think we're going to pick him, either way.

Either we get pick 1 and take Watts, with West Coast getting Rich off our mistake, or we get Pick 2 and take Watts coming to us.

Interestingly, does anyone think theres a chance we wont pick Watts, Naitinui or Rich.

I think Ziebell will be the pick of the lot in years to come. At the moment hes just not as well developed as Rich.

After further thought, I believe I know some lying SOB's as well. And yes, some can be convenient friends, and some can be inconvenient relations.

I've just done the math, if we win by more than 15 points tomorrow we'll finish 2nd bottom. I don't know about anyone else but i want to win tomorrow, if we miss out of first pick then so be it, it's not a massive loss, we just need make do with picks 2, 18, 20. Poor us!

Correct. It can vary slightly, but we can afford to win by up to 15 points.

It will depend on both team's scores, not just the margin.

True, but to give a reasonable example, if we score 105 and they score 90 then we'll remain just below West Coast.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
