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!!

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.

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.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
