Freo makes run for Scully

They're now a win and .17 percent ahead of us. Beat Port tomorrow by just a bit and we're off the bottom!!

 

Lowest score in an AFL/VFL match since:

1 8 Richmond 0.8 (8) vs St Kilda 12.19 (91) 1961 R16 JO

well we'd still need to win 5 to lose pick 1...

if we win tomorrow, and we have freo at home, that's 4 wins... could we snag another somewhere, perhaps... however I don't think we will win tomorrow, I think we will beat freo, and hopefully that's it... although I'd be happy if we snuck 1 more win in somewhere...

I'd rather finish 14th or 15th with less than 4 wins, wouldn't bother me if we got pick 3 or 4 instead of 2, and would rather that than getting the spoon...

 

weve got scully even if we dont finish on the bottom - just have to make sure we dont win more than 4 games.

although i want to win games.

besides, freo can pick him, we'll just trade cameron bruce for scully and pick 4 in 2010 anyway

:lol:

Again there is no chance we will win 5 games by the end of the year.


Can West Coast finish bottom?

WC must play Freo, so that might chuck a spanner in any West Aussie tanking.

Also, we have the easiest draw: Port, Freo, Tiggers and North are all eminently winnable.

I'm sure we'll win our share of games coming home. A win tomorrow over Port Adelaide will get us off the bottom and let's not forget that PA have won only time against us at the G.

Lose tomorrow and I think we'll be OK. I'm sure we'll beat Freo and should get one of Richmond or North, making 4. The Dockers have a shocking run over the next 7 weeks - quite possibly won't win another game. That would most likely give us 1 and 3 or 1 and 4 (depending on Richmond). If we get up tomorrow I reckon we're in strife!!

if we win 5 games someone needs to be shot

That is a stupid idea, a slow death is far more appropriate


Scully is the likely No 1 pick.

Only WCE and MFC are in the race for a 1st round PP.

MFC just needs less than 4.5 wins and a lower end of season ladder position to WCE and Scully is ours.

The only impact Freo can have is if they dont turn up to the MFC game like they did today.

Freo can only get Scully f they finish last on the ladder and MFC and WCE have 4.5 wins or more.

I remember it well. We were robbed that day. A certain free kick to davey at the city end not paid. Even my father in law( who had never seen a game in his life) thought we should have won that game

That's right. If Freo don't win another game (or win one more even) and WC win one (eg beat Freo), and we win tomorrow and pick up 2 more as well from North, Rich and Freo, then there are no priority picks and we will finish either 15th or 14th most likely. Scully heads to Freo - if they want him!!

ucanchoose - from my memory it was a goal to Davey that was disallowed because of a non-existent free paid against Neitz in the marking contest.

2 minutes later, Junior was pinged for deliberate out of bounds whilst trying to handball the ball the Rivers - 30 minutes, last quarter, down by 6, why the hell would we deliberately force it out?

That game inspired me to join this forum in fact.

Tonight's game was a disgrace. 17.11 to 0.3 for three of the quarters.

And Rhino, technically isn't it that we can't afford to have more than 4.125 wins - isn't it less than 16.5 points?

Correct. I didn't see the free kick, I was too busy watching the ball sail into the crowd jumping up and down like and idiot!


In an ideal world. I would love for freo to finish bottom of the ladder.

But we still only win 4 games.

That way we get pick 1 + 3 and dont get the spoon for another year.

Freo needs KPP so will either take a punt on Butcher, or will pick up a local boy eg. Morabito/Lucas.

The only real downside is they would get a priority pick at the end of the 2nd round.

Fremantle were absolutely [censored] tonight. They will be lucky to win another game.

I Would love to have Niel Craig as our coach, crows are so well drilled.

They're now a win and .17 percent ahead of us. Beat Port tomorrow by just a bit and we're off the bottom!!

Over the next 2 weeks -

Rnd-16 Rich play Kangaroos

Rnd-17 Freo play West Coast

These will be interesting outcomes, we'll see who's trying to do what.

Crows are very well drilled, but also have state of the art facilities that get upgraded nearly every year.... After walking through their training area, it is easy to see how Melbourne have fallen behind a lot of the other clubs..... Our preparation over the last few years has been poor due to not having a place to call home....

Unfortunately the reality is even if you have a heart as big as Rocky, in the AFL, the Ivan Drago's will win 9/10 times!

As I said last night ... I reckon we're in strife!


Even if Fremantle do get the first pick, I think theres as much chance they'll select Morabito as Scully.

Obviously Scully is the better prospect, but in the same position last year they took homegrown Stephen Hill over better prospects.

I'm certain they'll take Scully, and even if they don't, I'm not sure we'll be next in line anyway!

The 'go home' factor plays a big role in draft selection these days. We've been burnt ourselves!

I doubt that. It's either 16th or 15th.

 

We will win at least 5 games. bye bye Scully!

No say it isn't so!!

We can't even lose properly.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
