Forget Pick no 1

Carlton are rubbish and will not win four games this year. They don't know how to win, Losing culture its hard to break it.

 

They are not far off.

It was a fast good standard game where both teams had a red hot dip.

Carlton were punished by too many selfish non team orientated acts by some of their players who will not take the team or first option. Nick Stevens who burnt in the first qtr ran out off legs in the last. This possibly was not helped by two injuries on the bench reducing rotation.

Yeh not far off , getting beaten by three bottom eight teams from 2007.

 

Carlton can't get another priority pick can they? Once you receive one for two years down its another two years before you can get the next one right?

It's a rolling two years, they will get #1 pick if they get less than 16.5 points.


Carlton had 150 points kicked against them in a game they played well in.

They are awful.

But Fevola may steal a few games for them. Maybe 4-7 wins.

A game between two crap teams is always a good game to watch.

3 teams will get a priority pick. We have to win 4 not to to get 1, Carlton 5 and Richmond 6. You have to win more than 8 games in 2 years not to get a priority. We are the worst team by a mile and don't look like winning 1 game let alone 4, so we should have picks 1 and 4.

This misconception has been highlighted many times in other threads.

You need to win less than 5 games two years in a row. It is not accumulative to 8 games or less over two years.

Where does it say this ? So we can go winless for the entire and only get pick 3. What a mess the priority system is now.


I will f$ckin spew if Carlton win 4 games or less.

Given they need to win on average every 4 weeks to get 5 wins this season, I fear they will struggle.

Hmm... you posted that immediately before the good competitive effort against the premiers at their home ground.

I'm feeling more positive than that. We can even give the Kangaroos a tough battle, maybe even take home the four points next week. Still Bate and Whelan to come in, at the least.

What I saw on Sunday was the coach giving the team more freedom to kick, and the team also doing a little better on the run-and-carry passages. We also are yet to show any reliance on stars, which is positive...

...compared to Carlton, who have their two 'marquee' players BOTH play absolutely blinders (Judd/Fevola) and they STILL lose.

Guys, I think we can stop worry about the priority pick order. We'll win at least half a dozen over the season, no doubts.

Fear not my friends

Brett Ratten didn't realise that they no longer need to tank; he forgot.

Apparently, Dicky Pratt tapped him on the shoulder and said it's ok now if he wins a couple of games and that Chris Judd won't be going anywhere.

Seriously, what a disgrace of a football team!


Richmond, Essendon, Carlton and Melbourne will make up the bottom 4 and Carlton have lost to 2 of those sides already.

Melbourne on the other hand have lost to the teams currently sitting 1st, 2nd and 3rd in consecutive weeks. In fairness we wouldn't have beaten any teams in weeks 1 and 2 with those insipid efforts but based on yesterdays efforts I think we are good enough to beat the 3 aforementioned teams.

3 - 6 wins for all 4 of those mobs for mine. How results between the 4 of them go will determine final positions.

Correct Jerry.

The reason they are 1st 2nd and 3rd are because they DID play us....

HAHA.

Fair point, but they all beat 2 teams other than us also.

but by nowhere near as much....

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
