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!

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

Posted

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.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
