Win or Lose

[Longsufferingnomore 1,637]

Win on Sat but no more definitely no more. Look at who WC left out for soreness - scoff scoff. Who do they think they are kidding so if they plan to win another game this year well I'll go he. Win for Jimmy and his recovery but then its team management time thereafter.

who cares, lets lose

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

In the light of things, we now have no choice but to go out & smash that lot from the West.

Let go you Demons & burn this mob.

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

The Demons will not lose this game.

I think you are correct.

[Gorgoroth 13,016]

Of course we will win, I can't go.

That's what happened last year for the WC and Lions games, I could not go and they won them.

[Grand New Flag 3,227]

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!
