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.

    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.

    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.

    I'll take Kruezer.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • 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?

      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.
