we lost all our remaining games, which would keep our priority pick and strip Carlton of the No.1 pick.

or...

we won our remaining three, which would include Neita's 300th and hopefully a fantastic win at Subiaco with a young team that may end Freo's slim finals chances and have some real belief and momentum heading toward 2008.

Personally, i'd take the wins and momentum. We all know the top picks in a draft doesn't always equate to the best player or even team success. Building a winning culture is more important to me. The Pies and Blues are winnable games, and i would love nothing more than to finish off Freo's season as they did to us last year, so i will be cheering us on for 3 wins.

win win win!! beat blues and pies twice in a season would be almost acceptable for this year. plus the young guys need to know they can win even with so many people out, we need to build the base for a winning culture, and it starts now!

Posted

I want to win all 3

Give us a 4 game winning streak going into 2008 on the back of our young dynamic team

We will beat the Pies and Blues for sure, so that means we are looking at picks 3 and 19, with no priority pick

We can trade into the first round to get extra high picks if we want to. A new coach will see big moves, and some big names may be dealt to get up higher in the draft order

But yeah, winnin comes before an extra pick whch would be pick 22

the next game is an absolute must win!!

i dont really mind about the last 2 but we must win for the greatest player i have ever seen pull on the red and blue in his 300th.

Posted

Of course I'd take the wins.

Ideally I want Carlton to win before the season is out so they can miss out on the PP (I don't care where they finish) but I don't want that win against us, so I hope they knock over Essendon.

After last night, we clearly aren't tanking, which I have some small satisfaction in saying.

There is no way in hell that I could take any joy from losing this Friday for Neita's 300th.

And I mean, NO WAY.

Screw the draft picks. This man deserves nothing short of a Collingwood innihalation.

We're better off with winning at this stage. There's nothing better then leading into the season of the end of a few wins. It'll give everyone involved with the club some hope for 2008.

And like it's been said, we MUST win for Neitz this weekend. In a year with nothing much to be happy about, seeing the skipper being chaired off is going to make it worth it.

Last night was a real surprise, but I would love to win next week for Neita (with the added bonus of beating the Pies).

After next week however, I'm not fussed whether we win or lose, and taking the priority pick away from Carlton, would be incredibly satisfying.

WIN WIN WIN....Last night felt soooo good...nearly felt like a grand final win ( DARE TO DREAM).

But we need to win for Neita and we need to beat COLLINGWOOD again !!!!!

Jaded I'd be hoping that Essendon do that for us.

After that I'd like to win them all - finish off the year with a bit of momentum. Might be useful when punters are deciding whether to renew memberships in 2008. It might be the light in that long tunnel that convinces members that there is cause for optimism & that they want to put their hands in their pockets & be a part of it. Might also be useful if we do end up in the trade market - we need anything we can get to make us look an attractive destination.

I'd like to win every match left, except Rnd 22 (assuming Carlton dont win another match before then). It would be brilliant to be in control of the match, then in the final minute kick rushed behind on purpose, really ridiculous ones from like 50 out, to hand them the win, thus robbing them of their priority pick, and granting us a higher pick. That way, it's a win win. We get a better pick. We were better than them, and handed them the match despite the fact we were in control. The AFL would then be forced to changed the drafting rules.

Posted

Win them all thanks!

We'll still get an awesome pick in the draft (3), end the season on a 4 game winning streak (although Freo over there will be almost impossible) and end a shocking season on a great note.

I'll take no satisfaction if we lose to Carlton in round 22...if the prority pick is off the table for us.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
