Why do we criticise other teams for tanking yet the same people want us to tank ???

For those that are interested the last team to get a one and two priority pick was St Kilda in 2000. The year is now 2009, That is nine years to get where they are today.

Carlton is the other teaam to get a priority pick - one and three. Yet Carlton still has a way to go before being a consistent team - even with three number one draft picks and Chris Judd (taken as a number 3 priority pick). As long as cats like Nick Stevens is there they will not succeed!!!

Until we get rid of some ordinary footballers (ie Paul Johnson - great endeavour but just not up to the required standard) we have more pain ahead of us. Having draft picks one and two will not be a guarantee to success - winning guarantees success

Look at Essemdon - not a great side and I thought only marginally in front of us at the start of the season. They have played some really good football and i believe part of that reason is because they are winning - success equals confidence equals success equals confidence equals winning and exciting football

Finally the champion team of the last 58 games have no number one, two or three draft picks in their team.

Lets win and continue to win

I just want to see my team sitting around the rooms at the end of the game looking totally trashed from having given everything for the cause.

.... and preferably sharing that warm smile of victory

Ideal scenario:

Win V's WCE (For Jimmy)

Win V's North Melb (a little bit of pay back for us being their [censored] since 2007)

Win V's Freo (the only other win that looks feasible)

Richmond beat us and another team for 5 wins.

North win one more game for 5 wins.

WCE win one more game for 5 wins.

End result:

We get picks 1 and 2 and still win more games than last year ;)

It has become obvious in the last 3 weeks that we are simply not good enough to win 5 games this season.

Therefore we will either get picks 1 & 2 or 1 & 3.

From all reports Scully is a standout and their is little to split the next 3 players in the draft. Thus it makes little difference to us if WC win 5 games or not. Personally, I expect them to win several more games this season.

We must win this week. For Jimmy, for our supporters, for our pride.

Draft picks are no longer an issue........... we will get them.

Must admit, I was letting my heart rule my head. Your logic is impeccable, Rhino. Now I'm hoping for a very tight loss (a few behinds would suffice), .........................

You are too easily swayed hbt! A win for Jimma, team morale and us long-suffering supporters, PLEASE!

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
