I've had the calculator out, and it's very much dependent on the amount of scoring tomorrow. If we score 100 points, then if we win by 18 points, then we stay on the bottom, but if we win by 19, we move to 15th. If we score 135 points (ha!), a one-point win would suffice. If we only score 75 points however, we'd have to keep Richmond to 43 to move up to 15th. You get the picture. The higher the scores, the less we have to win by to move up to 15th. In reality, we're probably looking at 2-4 goals. I'll have my phone calculator handy if we're up in the last quarter though.

Here's a timesaver guys... via the magic of excel i have calculated all the permutations for you.

Our total score, the margin required at that score, our resulting percentage, and the difference in percentage between WCE and MFC.

Print it out and bring it to the game! Show your friends! Wave it in the air when we're 4 goals up with 94 points on the board!

Please note, red shaded sections = impossible to avoid spoon.

And if we were to win 82 - 54 there would be a tie between Melbourne and West Coast for last place as the percentages would be identical. Interesting.

i havent supported the bottom team for the whole year for only three wins to have a team come in and take the power away from us, especially when they are trying to trade their best player for 2 top 10 draft picks.

i can only hope that we, in the last untainted draft for a while, trade for some draft picks ala the hawks

I'd love to see what the AFL would use to designate 15th and 16th in that situation. Would it be the first team to reach the 4 wins? Highest number of points involved in winning margins? Most goals kicked?

Looking at allthestats.com:

Melb:

avg points for = 75

avg points against = 118

Rich

avg points for = 100

avg points against = 107

so if we average melb average points for vs rich avg points against and vice versa....

we get Melb 91 vs Richmond 109.

15 WCE 65.88%

16 MELB 64.83%

I'm pretty sure the AFL has a tiebreak system whereas the two teams involved are compared with their matches played against each other. We only played once in which we won, so if such an instance occured, we would overtake WC. If we played each other twice, with one win each, it would probably be greatest winning margin or whoever scored the most points as an away team.

Where on Earth did you pull that from? I just reckon they'd go to the nth decimal point.

I think we'll get thumped today, but have the MFC and WCE already met?

No.1 pick is the Ace but if its already been agreed between the two clubs then the result is moot.

Or do they wait until draft camp?

I have no idea. I'm confident the "smart" people on this board already know.

Considering our greatest winning margin is 34 points and the only other two wins were by a goal or less the chances of thumping the Tiges today are pretty minimal but then I have awful memories of last game last year when we played ourselves out of our skins and won a game that normally we would never have won.

I dont know.... I want the #1 pick.. it gives us bargaining power, first choice but I want to win too so here it is... we win by a goal or two max in a thriller

A few showers to help make it a low scoring afffair would help us then. We could still win by a couple of goals and keep pick 1 (not that 1 or 2 are going to make much of a difference because we're probably not going for the same player anyway).

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
