Adrian Anderson on 3AW who knows what the "formula" is says it's unlikely we'll get a PP.

I think the 'formula' he is referring to involves his own dislike for the MFC.

    Might be a rather biased formula that factors in Brock McLean, Gillon McLaughlin and Andrew Demetriou.

    How do you justify not giving a team a PP when they have won 34 games in 7 years, and beaten 1 top 8 team in 7 years, that's pretty scary.

    The day of the Brownlow they meet to work it out.

    They can't and shouldn't be able to bring up the tanking situation as we were found not guilty

    I think if there is any chance of getting a PP the afl will say it needs to be traded or nothing

    Request for pick a bit Cheeky- Andersen

    You know I reckon I could be forgiven for thinking lil ol Adrian is still smarting from his FAILED attempt at a witch hunt.

    He certainly has no kindness for us, and Adrian, the love is returned 10 fold.

    Umm Adrian,,,,you dont run things.......remember ??? :rolleyes::)

    I reckon the last SMS sent from Vlad to Ando read "can you please just STFU!"

    Well it did cost him his job.

    His argument is based on the fact we were investigated for tanking not based on the formula which would surely see us given at the very least an after first round PP.

    Yep cost him his job and he'll take pot shots whenever able I feel. He brought ti upon himself. He failed to take heed of his Imperial leader....his bad !! lol

    He keeps dropping articles about this and that. Must feel emasculated and a need to feel relevant to the game..

    Hes become a footy media type stalker.

    How can we be punished over the tanking when:

    A- we were found not guilty

    B - the administration involved during this period of time is gone

    Only our results should be taken into account, and our results are deplorable.

    And why weren't Carlton and others investigated for tanking?

    Hutchy last night on Classified suggested Melbourne would not be getting a priority pick. "Won't happen, don't worry about it. No chance." Demetriou gave nothing away on Talking Footy.

    Ross Campbell (aka Stevenson) on this morning's 3AW 'Rumour File' said quite emphatically that Melbourne would not be receiving a priority pick!

    Since the invention of the priority pick, there has NEVER (by a couple of light years) been a poorer sustained on-field performance than which the MFC has dished up over the past 7 years, and worsening over the last 3!

    Based on this, there has NEVER been a clearer, more logical reason to award a PP than to the MFC this draft period.

    But it won't happen..........why?

    Because the AFL is as much directed in it's decision making by emotion, driven of course by the media, than anything else. The current administration tries to negotiate a passage between objective reasoning, and populist reaction, which takes little account of reason. Sometimes successfully (Bombers?), sometimes not (MFC non-tanking).

    They want to please as many of the people as much of the time as they can, whilst making as much money as possible. Not a bad goal I guess, but fairness will often be the victim.

    Assuming we gain a priority pick and we have picks 2 and 3 do we put 1 pick on the table for a gun afl midfielder like Dale Thomas or do we put both pcks on the table since we are in desperate need of 2 gun AFL mids???

    Not dale thomas !!!

    If we get a PP,,, P1, or P3, I'd like to see us On-trade hypothetical Priority Pick for a mature topshelf Mid.... But use Our 1st National Draft pick on a kid for our future top end talent.

    & take 2 mature mids from free agency.

    Pick 3 for David Swallow and pick 10

    Pick 1 for Mark LeCras and Andrew Gaff

    Pick 10 for Taylor Adams

    3rd Round pick for Anthony Miles

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
