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:

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.

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

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

    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

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
