Richmond and North Melbourne both have 4.5 wins. If they finnish on 4.5 wins do they get a PP after the first round or is the cut off 16 points? Are they still in contention for PP?

We play both these teams so the answer is very important.

No.

The line is 16.5 points.

Richmond and North both now have 18 points, so they are out of the running...

Which is GREAT. It bumps our 2nd round pick up by 2 places, increasing the chance of getting someone who has slipped through the cracks (... Butcher...)

Here are the possible scenarios:

1. Melbourne finishes the season with 16 premiership points or less. West Coast finishes with 16 premiership points or less.

Melbourne gets pick 1. West Coast gets pick 2. Pick 3 onwards is determined by ladder position, with 16th getting pick 3, 15th getting 4 and so on.

This is assuming Melbourne finishes below West Coast. If West Coast finishes below Melbourne then West Coast gets pick 1.

2. Melbourne finishes with 16 premiership points or less. West Coast finishes with more than 16 premiership points.

Melbourne gets pick 1. Pick 2 onwards is determined by ladder position.

3. Melbourne finishes with more than 16. West Coast finishes with 16 or less.

West Coast gets pick 1. Pick 2 onwards determined by ladder position.

4. Melbourne finishes with more than 16. West Coast finishes with more than 16.

Pick 1 goes to the team that finishes on the bottom. Pick 2 goes to 15th, etc.

Currently, Melbourne has 12 premiership points, West Coast has 16 premiership points.

Note that Fremantle can earn a PP at the end of the first round/beginning of the second round if they finish the year with 16 premiership points or less. If this happens, every team's second round pick (and subsequent picks) will be bumped back by 1 (i.e. from 18 to 19).

Richmond and North Melbourne are both on 18 premiership points. This means they no longer qualify for the PP at the end of the first round/start of the second round.

Wrong!

If melb finish with 4 wins or less and west coast finish with 4 wins or less then melb get picks 1 + 3 + 17 and west coast get picks 2 + 4 + 18

If melb win 4 or less and west coast win 5 or more then we get 1 and 2 and 17 and they get the pick relating to ladder position

morale of the story = we do not under any circumstances win 5 or more games

I don't know what he got wrong (nothing that I can see), but you have our second round pick wrong. 1. Melb, 2.WCE, 3.Melb, 4.WCE.....19.Melb, 20.WCE....

So once again, the best possible result for us is to not win another game. That knocks Freo out of the priority picks as well, maximizing our chances of picking up quality talent.

Freo won't get a PP before the draft, but after the first round.

To me, 1 and 3 is essentially 1 and 2 in this draft. There is one standout and about 4 or 5 even players.

I have a question: how exactly can a team end up with 16.5 premiership points?

Why have the .5 in there when it's simply not possible? Why can't they just say 16 points or 4 wins or less?

Yes, but that PP at the end of the first round still has an impact on our opportunities. Better to have them win one more and be right out of the picture.

In that example above, Freo didn't come into the equation. If they're the one team we beat, surely they could go the rest of the year winning nothing?

If Freo finish without another win, they get a PP at the end of the first round. I'd prefer that their second pick came after our second round pick. Just to be sure they don't pinch a good prospect from us.

They can't, unless the AFL were to penalise a team on 20 pts, 3.5pts for an indiscretion.

I remember the AFL stating at the time, it was to minimise confusion. :huh:

It wasn't an error at all. It is 16.5 points.

Much like the line in betting. Having the decimal removes any confusion because it is between whole numbers and the result can only be in whole numbers.

Therefore anything over 16 points, but not including 16 points.

Otherwise it'd be:

"so to get a priority pick do we have to have LESS than 16 points, or can we have 16 points but NO MORE than 16, or is it that can have 16 but we just can't have 20 cos that's 5 wins..?"

I fail to see why so many ppl are confused.

I though MFC supporters were supposed to be fairly well educated on the whole... I mean, we're not Collingwood for fu%&'s sake.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
