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

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
