A thought for the Freo game.

In response to the mega tanking talk of the moment, could we as MFC members and fans take a stand against the AFL?

I think we can agree that we want the picks, we hate the fact that losing is good for us right now and it should be stopped. Or the notion should be stopped.

Could we possibly take signs or wear T shirts saying:

"I love the MFC.

I hope we lose.

Fix the system!"

Maybe a united showing of disdain for the priority pick carrot would make the AFL accept that tanking is an issue and will look to implement a lottery system or similar.

I'm in !!!! :unsure:

I don't think I agree, after seeing last Sunday's game I wouldn't want another weird footy game.

Keep in mind that it's a game of footy, it's not a court case. That stuff can be said off the field.

Agreed Heals, but it would definately anger the image conscious AFL and they will have to address the issue. At present they have their heads in the sand.


Shut the F up until after the Draft has been done ok. Not a -----ing word. Nothing.

Absolutely.

The AFL never listens to fans, particularly Melbourne fans. So don't shoot ourselves in the foot by admitting that we're tanking.

Love them or hate them, these priority picks might just be our ticket out of this premiership drought, so sit down, shut up and enjoy them.

 

Agree, zip ya lips, slap ya butts to the seats and listen hard! DONT DO ANYTHING TO MAKE THE AFL TURN AROUND AND TAKE THOSE PICKS AWAY!


Only a fool upsets a Hornet's nest !!

They don't have their heads in the sand you idiot - they know very well that it occurs.

But they won't and can't admit it.

Its not like you'll be drawing attention to an issue they are unaware of - you'll just making a spectacle of yourself.

Maybe that's what you get off on...

the PP system isnt a worry anymore, as with the "dirty" drafts coming up, the PP system isnt going to be that much of an advantage, as the GC's picks will probably still all come before anyone elses PP's

Its my understanding that there will be no priority draft picks for the next couple of seasons whilst GC17 and WS18 plunder the draft... making them no advantage whatsoever.

Do nothing! Adopt the Sgt Shultz defence and wait until after the draft!

Jimmy can then call Vlad and say "Tanks a lot Andrew" ;)

:lol:

Having gone through a hard season and being generally outplayed with only 4 games left, now is not the time to start querying rules or practices. The footy world would absolutely laugh at us if we missed the PP given where we are at right now. As others have said, shut up, smile, take the pick/s and back out of the room quietly.

In the words of Colonel Klink....

"We know nothingggg..!!!!!!"

Next year actually gives the AFL the PERFECT opportunity to eliminate the PP system. No team is eligible to get it, so there won't be any fussed kicked up, and with GC17 coming in the draft is so confusing that no one would be able to come up with what-ifs and maybes should something occur.

Just do it, and end perception. Because whether it's happening or not (and IMO it IS happening), the mere perception that it is is damaging the game.

Let's do it after we have both selections, so say around January 2010?

Agreed. :P


Take some signs showing Appreciation for Dean Bailey & the Footy Dept if you want to do something positive...

How friggin stupid is this thread?

Considering that Vlad is getting behind Bailey and defending his 'unusual' tactics and trying to silence the media, I wouldnt exactly go and upset him with a stupid meaningless t-shirt.

Furthure more, to 2nd what WYL said eariler......SHUT THE [censored] UP about priority picks. The season is far from over!

Hmmm slightly frustrated I take it.

Questioning my intelligence and where I derive pleasure from surely must come from a frustrated little soul.

Have nice day, it surely has to get better.

The only thing I'd be frustrated about is having criminally stupid supporters like you that think this sort of negative action is somehow constrcutive. :blink:

You sir, are a fool.

Do I seem less frustrated if i used some emoticons? ;):lol:

(got no time for those bloody things)

Its my understanding that there will be no priority draft picks for the next couple of seasons whilst GC17 and WS18 plunder the draft... making them no advantage whatsoever.

Enforcer, I keep hearing this on this site but i don't think it is correct.

The AFL have stated that the GC will get picks 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11.... etc. I don't think these are priority picks. The normal reverse ladder position draft picks will fit between them. Last gets 4, 15th gets 6, etc.

As far as I know the AFL has NOT made a ruling/decision regarding next years priority picks. At this point in time, priority picks before the first round in 2010 draft are still on. If Freo and the Dees are still spaz, they will qualify for a pick before GC first pick, or pick 4 (the first 'live pick').

Can someone please post a link if they have come accross any info on this.

That means that PP next year become even more valuable because of the GC picks.

If our situation now was next year we would qualify for pick 1 & 2 or pick 4 & 6 (presuming we finish last and depending where the AFL will place the PP).

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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

    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.
