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

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
