We are now officially on the bottom of the ladder

[dees189227 12,431]

After Freo beat West Coast we are now sitting 16th. I thought we wouldn't be sitting there for awhile yet but Freo and Richmond have actually started winning. Freo 2 wins in a row now.

Everyone, make yourselves comfortable.

Today, I saw J Watts play, Carlton lose in the most painful way and just heard Freo beat WCE - great day so far .

haha could only have been better if north got up last night.

but i agree, the more games freo wins the happier i am. although it is WC that could potentially take the best picks off us.

actually if melb and WC were both to win 4 games this year, and WC was to win the wooden spoon, who gets priority pick 1 and who gets 2? we finished on the bottom last year. Or if we won 4 this year to their 3 so that the points were even over the course of two years also...

I wouldn't worry about it. We will finish bottom. Freo and West Coast will win more than we do. And in all probability so will Richmond.

Whether you like it or not, this is where we are at right now.

Maybe the two teams' coaches have to climb to the bottom of a ladder and duke it out in real, actual tanks. Also they have to wear tank tops, too. That would solve the problem. But, knowing the AFL, the loser would probably get the No. 1 pick, so the two coaches would take the worn parts off the tank (to protect them, you know), rendering the vehicle totally undrivable. So the two tanks would just sit there for two hours until one of them ran out of fuel.

One of the Tanks apparently had no fuel from the start. I think it was the one in Blue No 2007.

If we gets picks 1 and 2 this year, I would put pick 2 on the table and see if we can attract an estbalished gun player under the age of 25.

Probably won't happen, but I'd like the club to be open minded during trade week.

Absolutely, the over hyper value of early picks this year and the relative number of early picks we already have makes this a tactic worth considering, particularly if there is a decent player around who is looking to move clubs.

If we both win 4 each and they finish bottom it will go off this years placing, so they'd get picks 1 and 3 and we'd have 2 and 4. But yeah I wouldn't worry about that to much.

Don't think there'd be that many out there. The only player I'd consider trading pick 2 for would be Vickery from Richmond, but don't think that would happen either. I'd get used to the thought of Scully and Butcher being at Melbourne next year.

And by the way Butcher kicked 2 for Gippsland Power in the TAC cup yesterday and was named in their best!

I wouldn't worry. West Coast will win a lot more than 4 games this year (well, maybe 7-9).
