Well richmond and carlton win next week and we get the number one pick!

Could be very handy to have a certain 200cm prospect.

If Carlton and Richmond win, then MFC are spooners ( :blink: )

MFC get picks 1,17(PP), 18, 34,50,66...

Neither Richmond or Carlton get a PP. Great stuff. MFC gets a 2nd round PP.

If Carlton wins but Richmond lose then MFC is 2nd last.

MFC gets 2, 18(PP),20,36,52,68.

Richmond and MFC get a 2nd round PP each.

If MFC wins and Richmond wins

MFC gets 4, 20,36,52, 68

Carlton gets the spoon and a 1st round PP. (ie Picks 1 & 2). Richmond get no PP pick 3. MFC get no PP and pick 4

If MFC wins and St Kilda wins -most likely outcome IMO <_<

MFC gets 4,21,37, 53, 69

Tigers get the spoon and a 2nd round PP (18). Carlton will get picks 1 (1sr round PP) and 3.

Hell, I hope we lose it next Sunday. A perfect Father's Day present.

But I can see three teams all being hit by a mystery virus that was brought in from Japan! :rolleyes:

 

This year the first pick in the pre-season draft could be just as valuable as the November one, coudl be very interesting.

it will be funny if Richmond win and Melbourne and Carlton draw. the #1 draft pick will be decided on percentage.

Just as important there will be no PPs in the 1st or 2nd round.

I was of the understand that if Richmond win they still get a PP because they would have won less than 5 games still? :S

I think the rule is that you need to have less than 16.5 points in the H & A season for PP entitlement. That's 4 wins or less.

 

Yep, the 3 teams will definately suffer some mysterious illness.

My money is on the Equine Influenza to spread from the stables to the Junction Oval.

guys please don't sink down to this level, why would you seriously wanna lose a game on purpose . So what, a better draft pick, no team has won with a priority pick. Whatever happens, happens we should just take what we get. If we get an extra pick so be it. BUT C'MON GUYS SUPPORT YOU TEAM.

Read the Match of the Century Thread - Post 70.

And next year dont complain about team and list deficiencies if we win on Sunday.

The sentiments shown about losing are exactly those supporting the team.

It's interesting alright, but i would be disgusted if we finished bottom this year. I'm less unhappy about losing to Carlton stright up, but i still want us to play properly. Maybe i'm in the minority here, but i'd take the short term happiness of winning over the long term gain of the PP.

I hate the idea of tanking, and i can't believe any club would deliberately do it. Unfortunately i think Carlton are doing a great job of being a competitive tank engine, so i want to absolutely smash them into oblivion so that we make sure the humiliation of deliberately losing is etched in their minds.

If we lose, we lose. But ultimately, we really don't deserve it.

:lol: You stole my line DD.

the number one pick in the preseason draft would be awesome too

charman, staker or seaby (cant remember which one), judd?, whitnall

TANK TANK TANK TANK TANK TANK

If you notice a guy in the sothern stand members area decked out in melbourne gear, standin and cheering every carlton goal, that will be me :P


With Richmond's win over the Bummers yesterday, the race for the spoon is on. We're even with Carlton on points, Richmond are 2 points behind. They play a beatable St. Kilda outfit next weekend, we obviously play the boos.

These are the possible outcomes:

Richmond d St. Kilda

Melbourne d Carlton

Final ladder:

Melbourne

Richmond

Carlton

This is the least favourable outcome because it means we lose our second round PP, and Carlton get pick 1 and 2. They win a hattrick of spoons, that has to be a first for a while.

Richmond d St. Kilda

Carlton d Melbourne

Final ladder:

Carlton

Richmond

Melbourne

In this scenario we get the #1 pick as well as a PP. I can't really stomach another spoon though.

If Richmond lose, they get the spoon.

My favourite outcome is this though:

Richmond d St. Kilda

Melbourne draw Carlton

Final ladder:

Richmond

Melbourne

Carlton

We'd lose our PP, sure. However, Carlton would lose their PP _and_ win the wooden spoon. I'd be in heaven. :D

do we have enough healthy players to field a full team? maybe we should forfeit...

I can't handle an off season of being the wooden spooners.

Spank the tankers, I say!

Ps - Cameron will probably screw up any potential priority picks, knowing our rotten luck.

Tigers win,

Saints loose,

Blues win,

Demons loose.

The shame of a wooden spoon,

Matthew Kruezer.

I'll take Kruezer.

Go Tiges and Blues. It's that simple!

You'd get over it bbp.

Yeah i thought about this this morning, with Richmond winning it does throw a spanner into the works

I don't like tanking, and losing for the sake of it, but i definitely don't want the team to win this Sunday for a better future

 

If winning the spoon means that in '08 we make the pre-lim and 2010 we make the granny (ala 10 years ago), i'd be able to live with it. However, i don't think we will be anywhere remotely near top 4 material next year, or for a few years.

A certain 200cm prospect for number 1 would fit right in at the MFC.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
