[e25 5]

Sorry to put a dampener on everyones expectations of pick 1 & 2, but they are going to GC17.

Read this link for an explanation;

Pick 4 & 6 is the best we can hope for.

Good thing we're talking about the 2009 Draft then, and not the 2010 Draft.

Epic fail.

[Carn dees 108]

Why the hell would you want moloney or green to go?

[Carn dees 108]

but yes exciting.

[cooko 124]

i wouldnt want them to go.. if we could get another 10 years out of them that would be great... but lets face it.. they are getting older and they will be on there way out in a couple of years time...

my list was supposed to be a future lineup.. pretty much showing how cool our young list will be

[cooko 124]

wrong.

we dont have an exciting future ahead?

[Carn dees 108]

Moloney isnt old he will be a part of our young future but in the older end by that time his only 25

[cooko 124]

i hope so.. he is a gun! and hopefully he can teach the younger guys coming in to be a rough nut like him!

After fremantle's win tonight..the bottom 2 will be clear cut. Richmond and Melbourne. If Richmond finish bottom, they will take Tom Scully and we will take Butcher. If we finish bottom with less than 5 wins, we will take Scully AND Butcher. Either way, we end up with Butcher!...Butcher and Watts in the forward line. nice

Not quite. If the tiges bottom, and we come, say 15th, with less than 5 wins, we get picks 1 & 3.

Freak, it's not less than 5 wins at all.

4 wins + a draw is too much.. = 18pts......

It is NOT MORE THAN 16.5 pts, which actually means - not more than 4 wins. --16pts...

Too early to make any call on where we're going to finish.

Three weeks ago people were saying Freo were going to struggle to win a gme this season. Suddenly, they've won three on the trot and they only had home ground advantage in one of those games.

I like Melbourne's chances tomorrow against the Eagles. So don't take it for granted we're going to win less than five games.

'not more than 16.5points' is practically the same thing as 'less than 5 wins'. THere would only be a difference if by some miracle we got a draw. And yes we could get picks 1 and 3 but its highly unlikely considering we play richmond again.

I'd say we are a 75% chance of picking up butcher

I hope we get them both, BUT, just remember ESSO....

VROOM, VROOM, Put a TIGER in your TANK.!!... What no RICHO & no MORTON. C'mon.

It doesn't matter where we finish because Freo and Richmond will just pick somebody retarded and leave the good one for us.

oooooo nice!

[MelbournePassion 7]

Butcher, and Scully to maybe.

[Nicho 1]

Does anyone know much about this Alex Keath that apparently did well on Watts yesterday. Another player speculated to be a #1 pick!

[MO FINE 166]

Butcher booted 6 goals and was BOG in Gippsland's losing effort v Gold Coast yesterday.

A wooden spoon and no more than four wins would deliver two high quality players in a very shallow draft. Are we poor enough as a team to earn the priority pick?

[Little Goffy 14,453]

Not quite. If the tiges bottom, and we come, say 15th, with less than 5 wins, we get picks 1 & 3.

Yep, and it wouldn't be the first time Richmond came last but didn't get the first pick - Carlton got a 'before round 1' priority pick in 2007 even though Richmond was last. Of course, Carlton got Kruezer and Richmond got Cotchin, so it's touch and go who has done better with the pick at this stage.

But it's important to remember that we really can't be banking on that extra priority pick - this first half of the season we play the entire top eight from last year, plus Port at AAMI and West Coast at Subiaco. The second half of the year is going to be dramatically different for us - so far we've won every game we've played in Melbourne that wasn't against a top eight side.

At the end of the days I think we will be around the 4-5 wins mark based on the Geelong performance..

But us Melbourne supporters who haven’t experienced success should be happy and wanting us to win 4 games and get the 2 best players in the draft so that along with our other kids can start to build a p-ship outfit...

We all bagged out Carlton when they did it, but its obvious they tanked... difference is i think we aren’t good enough so we don’t need to tank..

Just keep getting games in the kids and be a little more patient and paid up (attending game included) and we should soon reef some benefits.

I’m generally excited about our future if we can sustain ourselves..
