Well thats 2 weeks more than I expected so now W.C. are genuine contenders.

You were right, its three with a guilty plea.

The Eagles are tanking, but they play so many at Subi.

It's a mindset with Melbourne clubs there...

Home ground advantage for the W.A. clubs is a big one, as others have said.

We definitely have some competetion for the No.1 pick in the draft this year, the Weagles look awful.

For those Melbourne players and supporters speculating about a possible win against Freo this Sunday I just point again to my opening statement. The Weagles reminded me of the Dees last night and racked up many similar "KPIs". All I can say is FOCUS, FOCUS, FOCUS!!!!!! :angry:

Also, Cox is the captain of both my Dreamteam, and my Supercoach team. So I have an added incentive for the Weagles to do better.

Bluetankers would always be a chance to challenge us for early draft picks. Now they've secured memberships, sponsorship ... they've sung the club song a couple of times to teach it to the players, they set about the serious business of tanking the rest of the season. Don't be surprised if the filth join the race with a couple more losses!

It's a strange thought -

If we can beat the Dockers on Sunday...

We'll be doing just as well as the WA teams combined. (discounting their game against eachother)

I like the thought that we actually might need to not improve at all if we are going to hold on to the wooden spoon.

A bit of a surge to climb out of the bottom four is conceivable... Essendon are going backwards and injury ravaged. We would only need one of Richmond, Port or Carlton tol fall apart and we might just have a goal to aim for.

I'd take pick five. I really would. I'm a little annoyed by all this pick one as the marketing saviour.

Cale Morton is Gold, and he was pick 4.

It'd be worth it to have an advertising campaign for next year where the players stare down a wooden spoon and then smash it to pieces, revealing a new dawn and new strength.

It'd also entrench us as the club that definately, definately didn't tank.

We are much better off with Carlton winning last night.

The Weagles will win enough game to keep them off the bottom. Even last night they showed the crowd are 100% passionate and for a half they played pretty good footy.

The normal home ground advantage they enjoy will bite them on the bum as it will not allow them to bottom out if that makes sense.

I reckon Kennedy will be very handy for them and he got them back into the game last night.

Essendon are a big show for the spoon. We are pathetic at the moment.

Round 18 could be very interesting.

Essendon won't win the spoon unless they keep getting injuries. They'll get better when their players come back. I think.

There's a bloke at work who now says that the Bombers are odds on. It drives me crazy. Naitanui should be ours by rights. And with the gold coast teams coming online it could be our last chance at a drafting coup. Matthew Knights is even getting rid of Pev and Johnson as a means of legally tanking til the end of the year. On the other hand, we played with real spirit against the Dockers and I really fear that we could actually win a few before the end of the year. OMG!!!! Focus, focus!!!
