We win another game and we lose draft pick 18 or the relevant second round priority pick. (Assuming Carlton does not win another game this year.)

Big deal. We will have pick 22 instead of 18. Not a big deal. I want the dees to get some respect

I'm totally with you mate.

I am praying to God that we beat the Pies & the Blues!

There is no better feeling in the world when we beat them & their supporters leave early.

GO DEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will explain it.

If we have four wins at year end, we would likely finish 15th then we are entitled to the following picks before trades: 2,18,19,35,51,69.

If we have five or more wins at year end, we would likely finish 14th, lose the 2nd round priority pick then we are entitled to the following picks before trades: 4,20,36,52,70.

You dont think its a big deal? :blink:

I forgot we will re-sign Bizzell, Pickett and Yze on long contracts at year end....No worries we'll be right! :lol:

And you want to win? :rolleyes:

I know it seems like haviing the extra draft pick after the first round will make a world of difference...

The truth is that it probably wont. There is no precedence that getting bucket loads of extra high draft picks after bottoming out will mean success. the saints are a good example of this.

I think their is a fine line between developing a winning culture vs extra draft picks due to not winning.

I think youll find geelong based their team around second round picks and lower draft picks. Same is the case with WCE and sydney.

That said, if it came down to round 22 and we were still on 4 wins, id probably prefer to lose. but i want to thrash the magpies this week and i hope we win the next 3

Wow. Didn't think one 18 year old kid picked in the second round was going to be the sole reaso we win a premiership. Im so sorry that I forgot that every 2nd round player is the catlyst of a great footballer. I am so so sorry. In future I will try to keep my outlandish comments of wanting to win to myself. Once again im sorry and thank you for inlightening me of the power of the 2nd round pick.

Bollocks!

The way to developing a winning culture is to assemble a talented list of players who are committed week in, week out to team rules and team discipline. Compare us to Sydney in 2005/2006. We have the culture of a wobbling jelly.

You are completely wrong on St K, Sydney and WCE.

St Kilda did enjoy success from the high draft picks they had. They just did not win a flag. The quaity of their list was not the issue.

Hawthorn are starting to do the same. WCE did it too. As did WB.

The Swans have built a list around a great trade in Hall and O'Loughlin and Kenneally and have traded their youth for players for the now...Jolly. Everitt and Richards. As Hall and O'Loughlin retire Sydney will cave in and Roos knows and will leave.

WCE have recruited and traded well and their efforts with the rookie list have been outstanding.

If we win beat Pies or Freo then R22 should be a win.

Your talking about winning in the future. You think making this one extra choice is about changing the future, you have lost it dude.

LOST IT. Go Home mate. Don't bother coming to the footy this week, don't worry about Neita's 300th, he is prob to old for you right?

You have completely boasted that a extra second round pick is more important than winning now and getting as many wins as possible next season. A 2ND ROUNDER WONT DO ANYTHING TO MAKE US WIN A PREMIERSHIP. If we win this w/e you better not be cheering, you better be crying about losing your draft pick.

Once again you said the premiership. I never said it would promise a premiership. But our list will be better off with a priority pick at about 17 than not. Its easy. At least I thought so.

Keep your opinions to yourself....!

Say it in the mirror. :lol:

The minute I spent reading this thread is time I'll never get back...

Hehe.

IMHO an extra decent pick would be worth more to us in the long run than winning just one more game.

If we're going to win one more, I hope we win 2-3 of our remaining matches.

Agree Rogue. Its the bleedin obvious. Its about improving your list and if we use the pick properly at draft time we either get a good young player or improve our bargaining chips at the trade table. A no brainer.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
