If the Eagles lose by around 100 points and we win....

[Bring-Back-Powell 13,389]

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?

If your aunty had hair she'd be your uncle!

[Mousey 47]

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

[Eastie Boyz 0]

Can't see the difference between 1 & 2 being that great, especially if the Weagles want Rich as badly as everyone says, then 17/18 and 19/20 isn't a great difference either considering outside the top 5-10 most draft picks are pretty speculative

[titan_uranus 22,741]

We're a better chance that we've been given credit for. Richmond know there's nothing left to play for in their season, and Bailey's said many times we don't want the spoon.

Your thoughts?

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.

If you actually knew him you wouldnt have made that statement

you base it on assumption

Oh and YES i do know him quite well

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

I want Rich, so I want pick 1.

[Chook 14,613]

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.

[Beamer 1]

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.

Correct

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.

60 points... its starting to get messy and more than a qrt to go

[Rhino Richards 1,467]

Too many posters here being spooked by shadows thinking WCE could possibly beat Geelong.

[Pates 9,537]

Done and dusted at 99 points, wooden spoon might be heading west if we win tomorrow.

If we win by less than 27 points there is no contest - we remain 16th. Which is pretty sad really. Been on the bottom all 22 weeks. That may be a record.

[Pates 9,537]

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.

[DaveyJones'sLocker 599]

eagles new % = 65.88

melb % = 64.01

[Spaghetti 264]

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

[Hannabal 4]

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.

[DaveyJones'sLocker 599]

id rather take the margin than both the team scores

we will let u work those ones out

should be enough combinations to keep u busy for the whole preseason

[Mousey 47]

People are saying on ology even if we win by 50-60 points we will remain on the bottom?

[caco demon 29]

Melbourne 108 - Richmond 93

We move to 15th
