Only 1 game out of the 8. Playing so badly but only 1 game out, tight comp.
-
13th, 88.5% and now two games plus % outside of the Eight. No finals this year sadly :(.

We can win 10 of the last 15 and scrape in ...maybe.
-
We've rocketed up to 12th ;D with a percentage of 102.8.
We can jump ahead Essendon is we beat them next week.
-
We're 13th after Carlton's win tonight. Any talk of finals is wishful thinking but having said that, if we win next week and the Eagles knock off North at Subiaco then incredibly we'll be only a game outside the Eight :o.

Yep then we'll play norf the week after at etihad and lose by 10 goals as per script :-\
Tripod will kick 3 goals
-
Norf will lose to WCE and pump us
-

If this was Round 22, we would be so happy that we pumped GWS by a pointless margin and cost ourselves 6 positions in the draft.
-
Melbourne will beat Essendon tomorrow. So we'll slip further down the ladder.
8 point game against St.Kilda in a fortnight. :help

Yes but we still have time to win meaningless games and finish 9th
-
Going well this is, top 3 pick would be fantastic!!! :pray :pray :pray
We have absolutely NO chance of winning next week and that's good, hopefully other teams below us will notch up a few wins and get clear of us.
We shouldn't actually win another game for the year as I cant think of any team we are capable of beating at the moment!! :thumbsup
-

What a silly comment
We will obviously win more games, it will start with St kilda
-
We really need to do something about that percentage. Swans might knock 15% off on friday night for us. :pray

Pointless finishing bottom , why ?
* big deal we get first pick .one player isn't going to solve current problems
* memberships and fund raising will become increasing harder.not good
* getting free agents to a bottom club .well that won't happen
-
hey hey hey cmon jack at least we can be reasonably sure of geting the first pick right.
in all honesty ive been barracking for sides in and around us to win for ages now.. reckon essendon are far enough in front of us to stay in front so cmon the dees. top 3 pick would be great. seems even jackson struggles to get those ones wrong.
pick 21 and a sweetener may be enough to get out of contract orourke if he chooses to come to us. go get him blair. but wait hes quality and blair has no interest in quality.
-
finishing bottom would destroy the club & would make it much easier for other clubs to raid us of our good players.
sorry have to rephrase that, supposedly good players

pretty hard to raid anyone when all and sundry are tied up on contracts. have you seen those who are not signed up? let the other clubs have em for a packet of crispy cremes and a box of jaffas.

no dont give away the Jaffa's please ;D

FINISHING dead set last is the way to go. Not in terms of getting the first pick in the national draft but getting the first pick in the PSD, and throwing the kitchen sink at Fyfe or someone of that quality and getting him for nothing.

l will ask my sauce ;D if he has any intentions :lol

lets be serious no decent player will want to come to Richmond but if you stick a $1 million a year deal for 5 years under someones nose then you never know what could happen ;D

The response from the Westerner is only in AFL Fantasy Football ;D l gather that's that fantasy thing people play. l got no time for that poo but anything is possible when someone dangles a nice contact in front of you & promises you property ;D

property ;D

property ;D
:shh

We currently sit 15th....my God, we are 11 positions out of where everyone thought we would be.
If we remain there we will get pick 4.... :pray
I would like to drop one more position and it's more than possible, pick 3... :clapping
-
It won't make any difference what pick
Honestly
-
Chance to bridge the % gap this week with a heavy loss and then have the Saints beat us at Etihad to leapfrog us. I reckon since they lost to Brissy in NZ they have put a circle around this game and have planned meticulously for it seeing it as their best chance to register a win.
Then a week later Brissy at the G. We could be 17th with a clash against GWS in August. Freefall. :help
-
finishing bottom would destroy the club.
Um, I think were past that.....
New life comes from total annihilation
-

Your probably right but it will stop the scum and the teams above us getting stronger with a top 3 pick!
-
Unfortunately the only place that makes a real difference is last (which I don't really want).
Why?
Because it gives the team finishing last a free swing at an uncontracted player through the PSD.
For example. If we can offer Fyfe $900,000 a year and convince him to come (the hardest) we can make Freo bend over to minimal swaps because he can walk out for nothing and come to us.
Anything else but last doesn't have that power.

Not only that but having pick one offers a dilemma of using it as a powerful bargaining chip to attain a bona fide established player if given to the right club, ie Hawthorn with the Hodge/Croad deal. Might be able to use it on Adelaide for a Dangerfield looking to come back to Victoria possibly.

9th would be shyte too

Personally I would take advantage of the currency we have created. We have never really had that before. Had players who are highly rated in AFL circles and can demand some decent concessions.
I'd go heavy for a pick in the top 3. Make sure we are playing our kids as much as we can. Waste of time Aaron Edwards, play McBean. Not ready? Don't care. Play them and if we win, great for development if not then great for draft picks. Anyone that thinks we can build a premiership list from any other way is crazy. We can have culture all you like but without a decent playing list you may as well be the Bulldogs.
I'd look at seriously trading our best players out for draft picks. Deledio could command easily 2 top 10 picks. Easily. Someone like a Collingwood or North would through kitchen sink at Lids. 2 draft picks in the top 10 as long as 1 was in the top 5 we can look at having 3 top 10 picks on our list next year. Lids is replaceable, as is Cotchin and Riewoldt. Need to do something ruthless, being safe hasn't worked for 30 years. I'd keep our backline in tact with Rance, Grimes and Astbury and build around them.
There is no easy way of building a list, we've stuffed it up with recycled rubbish. Understand the new franchises had monopolies on the drafts but clubs like Port found a way.

Hardwick won't do this.
He would rather come 9th

Sack him

We were 3-9 in 2009.

If indeed this is a coordinated attempt to attain a high draft pick then I dip my hat.
Shame it's going to cost us 15,000 members next season.
-
Well we've jumped from 16th up to 12th after that win :-\.
-
Oh.
They're back then....
-
It's hard to be happy when our season has been over for yonks and you know the win has just pushed us from pick 3 out to pick 7 :-\.

MBA draft lottery is overdue
The system is rubbish

12th with a super sexy percentage of 96.5.

That brave little bloke - 4yo that is seriously ill, would have taken great delight watching the boys win - meaningless win? nah

Not if Brisbane play like they did tonight and we play like......us....

Lucky 13th :P.

Says it all that our four wins have only come against four of those sides currently below us.
-
Back up to 12th (draft pick 7) :-\.
-
Could see that one comming eh
-
stuff you rfc
Edited for avoiding swear filter
-
Other than next weeks game against Port and perhaps Essendon, I can see us winning the rest of the games. So that is another 5 wins or 10 wins for the year. Surely another 9th place finish is a real possibility :P
-
Even Sydney in Sydney in round 23 Stripes? ;D
FFS we are the best team outside the top 8. ;D

whats the point of being the best team outside the eight when your team is full of experienced hacks and players from other clubs. it doesnt matter if they are the best team outside the eight, they never gonna achieve anything, its a road to nowhere.

never fear. we are not the best side outside the 8. at 12th on the ladder we are higher than what we really should be,
ffs our wins this yr should tell us exactly where we are at.
fell over to 13th carlton the better side lost.
belted gws who are 15th.
defeated the lions twice who are 17th
defeated stkilda who are 18th.
if that sort of trend continues on the run home we will only defeat gws stkilda and possibly wce but that one is in the west and is very much a 50/50 if not 40/60 game.
of those sides i dont think we are better than carlton and most certainly in the long term are miles behind gws. imo our true position is 15 thru 18. a bottom 4 side.
best side outside the 8 hilarious. we still have blinkers on seems some are beliving the clubs spin of being better than we have performed.
-
Disagree on Carlton. They'll be hoping the old blokes hang on forever because they're some of their best players. Eg Judd and Simpson. Meanwhile we will be hoping our old blokes stuff off because well they're poo.
-
Maybe wce and crows got us covered
But the rest are shyte , Carlton shyte
