    I think the AFL might be going to take pick 2 from us anyway!

    Well if both Melbourne and Sydney are going to tank next week we need a name for the game.

    Win win win. That’s always the aim.  To suggest otherwise is so ridiculous.  

    To think we allegedly tanked to get Scully and Trengove.  That worked out !!?!?!?!?

    I love how someone starts with a supposition, and then proceeds as if it's a fact.

    If history suggest anything we will burn another early pick along with the other 50 we've had!

    Whats even more dumb is watching the Hawks not getting any early picks, haven't bottom out & then rebuilding through smart drafting & no doubt will win another flag before us again.

    Dumb club, or dumb supporters?  I would take two wins from here. Simply because the team goes to the off season with something positive, rather than a fistful of straight losses.  It also can impact on Memberships - win and people have HOPE.  We can sell that.  

    The off season should be brutal, but to call the club ‘dumb’ for wanting to win in the last two games is appalling.  Are you Mark Neild?

    Good post Don Cornder, we need to hold our nerve, the zulu's are coming, lets not F this up. I'm confident we won't do anything silly and win more than one of our next two.

    Draft picks mean more than junk time wins in a season that is cooked. If you don't feature in September the next best thing is to have first dibs in the draft.

    We arent getting pick 2 anyway. GC will be handed a PP. The kid will probably go on to be an ice dealer down the track or something - whatever players seem to learn up at that club.

    Win, just effing win. Resting our future on playing (or not playing) for picks left a stain on our club that will never be removed. 

    Couldn’t care less where we finish in the picks order. Call that dumb if you want but I’d rather us finish the year with the boys singing the song than us debating what pick we’ll get from losing.

    Can't agree more Pates.

    We've all seen first hand how 'playing' for draft picks affects the culture of a club. At no time in the rest of our history should we aim to repeat what we did in the '08-'09 years.

    Win at all costs. Pick #2 or #3 in this year's draft ain't gonna help us climb up the ladder next year. There is no Sam Walsh quality players' in this years draft (Rowell isn't, and Anderson has the potential but not yet proven.............Walsh if in this years draft would be in another league to these potential draftees).

    Learn from Whorethorn, who learnt from Norm Smith...

    I'm for winning as much as the next person but these are junk time games and we've come this far, justs couple more games. I'm not saying we get smashed like EFC or North but switch a couple of magnets around, e.g. O-mac forward, and play loose on their most damaging player.

    When losing is the only way to win its not losing it is the way.

    Hawthorn can have its pokies and feast off the souls of the less fortunate and we can have our draft picks.

    Winning is the better habit, and better mind set for a team to have belief in themselves, and each other.

    The universe would do something nice for us for a change if we lost pick 2 via either our own hand or the AFL and pick 3 turned out to be the much better player.

    You know, like the time we tanked our hearts out to get pick 2.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
