Just floated on Footy Classified that to stop the crap the Melbourne-Carlton game should be changed to winner gets the picks.

It has a lot of merit as it will make the contest fair dinkum and passionate.

    Andrew Demetriou said tanking doesn't happen but apparently (according to a poster on the Blues' supporter site - Tanking Carlton) in "the Herald Sun tomorrow, Kouta is quoted as saying that he believes we'd be better off losing against Melbourne." Kouta should be careful. He's still a registered AFL player and the powers that be could slap him with a please explain on the grounds that he's bringing the game into disrepute.

    Just thought of another idea to bring some respect and integrity back to this game. The AFL should on a one-off basis offer the winner of this game $500K. That would bring some degree of integrity back to the game.

    The AFL should introduce a lottery system. That'll stop teams from relying too heavily on draft picks and looking to free agency in some years. It will also allow for a quicker rebuild and teams like Carlton won't have terrible recessions. 16th team has best chance of getting the number 1 pick with 1000 balls or so in the lottery (all with the teams name on them), 15th is 2nd best chance with 400 balls, 14th 3rd best with 250 balls and so on. Although 1 pretty much has it in the bag, there is still a chance of someone else snagging the bottom pick (only the bottom 8 teams are included in the lottery), getting rid of tanking (kinda) and forcing teams to look at free agency and trades and create a bit more excitement rather than rebuilding for 5/6 years (ala Carlton).

    He really is an incredibly stubborn individual, sticking his heals in all over the place at the moment :rolleyes: !!!

    I like the idea of the bottom two teams having a playoff for top pick with the winner getting the pick. A bit like Serie A where the bottom two teams playoff to see who is relegated.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
