Forget Pick no 1

[drdrake 3,178]

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.

[Rhino Richards 1,467]

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.

[drdrake 3,178]

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.

[rpfc 28,520]

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.

Exactly ^

They should scrap it all together

[Bay Riffin 1,475]

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.

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,851]

Add Richmond to the bin as well.

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!

[Dee*ceiving 1,674]

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....

[Dee*ceiving 1,674]

HAHA.

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

[Tracca 850]

HAHA.

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

but by nowhere near as much....
