What would everyone honestly prefer? Finishing the year with 6 wins and ~14th on the ladder, or finishing second last with only 4 wins and picks 2 & 3? The only thing appealing about the latter is what Roosy could do with those picks, as it gives us incredible leverage to get almost any player he wants to the MFC.

On the flip side, we're all sick to death of waiting for the next "great white hope" from early draft picks.

I'm sick of seeing us losing... so for sure the former. Winning would also be beneficial to the internal culture and the players confidence entering preseason. You can't underestimate the value of this. There was a time where I would of been satisfied with the former scenario...but not anymore. No more excuse now. If we're a club on the rise we have to get at least 6 wins or more. We have to...and I we know will and its going to start from this afternoon hopefully when we smash Brisbane :D

Ill take the extra wins thanks

Boggles my mind that anyone would rather lose than win especially coming from where this club has come from

they've got to try to get the players that importantly fil the gaps they have. Inside hardness is a must for them. they are very short of hardness all over.

tanking will not help them in that area

From reports they are highly keen on Petracca. Obviously unhappy about any situation where we finish beneath them on the ladder, as our two picks before them will probably ensure Petracca is long gone before their first pick.

Solution? Tank! Also gives us very little bargaining power to trade picks and nab Cameron/Shiel, so it's quite logical for them to stay beneath us.

get the early pick, look to trade with the Suns, maybe Swallow & P-10ish ?

well you better tell them that then.. & you better be quick, before its too late.

Meh.

If that want to tank, they can suit themselves. We can see what kind of wonders it did for the culture of the MFC.

Can't believe this is not mentioned here, but on the radio they were talking about how Tom Boyd is really unhappy at GWS and wants out

We need to win. The biggest issue is the lack of confidence in winning bloody games of footy, we need that far more than a few spots higher up the draft chain.

As PR has already shown with pederson, with believe and confidence our existing players can make the gains we need to play finals.

i'd much prefer we win every game for the remainder of the year and we start to see consistency and skills from the likes of watts, blease, tapscott et al than finish lower on the ladder.

in fact, if we could somehow end up with lucky pick #7 i'd be ecstatic.

Build a culture of playing out the full 120 minutes per game ever game, always striving to win.

Get that right and tomorrow will take care of itself.

Wins please.

grab him, & shiel.

we all would prefer it. & if we all worked at the club, we would be doing our darnedest to achieve just that...

but as supporters, we can other ideas in mind, but still prefer to win head over heart or heart over head

I'd prefer us to go Port Adelaide next season.

I ask this in all seriousness. Is there a major difference between pick 1 and pick 5 this year? Is there a standout player or players? I haven't had a look at the TAC lads this year. At a guess to trade with GWS would have to involve players and picks as I can't see GWS wanting to lose Shiel or Cameron and only move up one spot in the draft.

GWS are going to have to tank a lot harder if they want to leap frog us down the ladder.

lol

sad but so true

Not necessarily...from what I know...it depends on what position etc. I believe Petracca is the stand out mid
