A couple of weeks back I would've said we would beat the hawks. But they haven't been too bad recently. A toss of a coin IMO so I'm nervous. On current form the Dogs are the worst side in the AFL but their % is much better than both us and the hawkers.
-
We gotta look at the pros/cons about this.
If we finish last we will get first pick in the draft and it will predominatly be picks 1 and 4 you would think. We also get first pick in the pre season draft (first pick at an uncontracted player eg stevens, rawlings etc) and first pick in teh rookie draft.
Best bit is we already have our coach. If we lose next week we definatly get priority picks no matter what happens.
So who knows?
-
That's true wrenny but I think we can safely say after 12 straight losses (unless there's a miracle) that the priority pick is safe with 2 rounds to go. From a pride point of view and the fact that I don't want us to go through all pre-season without a win since May, I hope we avoid the spoon.
I'm also nervous of first pick in the national draft. From memory history shows that the kid seems to suffer from the burden of that.
-
HI boys this is my first post...this Jackstar fellow has me intrigued.
Lets hope we lose for gods sack Deledio pick 4 and best uncontracted player is too good to pass up.
Cheers

Welcome aboard OER blaisee :cheers
Sad isn't it that under the current system losing is such richly rewarded. Won't say no if it happens though ;). I know a number of Tiger supporters who have been in 2005 mode for months now that they don't care anymore if we win or lose this year :-\. I guess one good thing that came out of the weekend was that after all the euphoria of Wallace signing on, we and he will be under no illusion as to amount of work and time required to fix the Richmond footy list. A new coach, no matter how good he is, is not simply going to cure our ills.
-
Let me see..... ::) :'( :-\
If we play like we did in the first quarter against the Crows for 4 quarters we will win
If we play like we did in the final quarter against the Crows for 4 1.5 quarters we will get thumped by 40+ points :help :help
I don't want the spoon - I seen enough in my time
-
Welcome aboard Blaisee.
Deledio and the best uncontracted would be good.
I like Jarrod Roughhead as well
Why are you intrigued Blaisee ?
You might also find a few players from other states( S.A ) end up on our list, we will have to just wait and see ;)
-
Oh, and we will beat the dawks this weekend :birthday
-
Win or lose we are a disgrace either way. So it doesn't matter a bit in my opinion. I hope we draw.
-
Looking at the ladder if we lose by a small margin the teams' positions won't change. We stay 15th.
Geez that sums up how well we're travelling. You're normally figuring out what other teams need to lose at this time of year :-\.
-
NO SPOON.....
We sure as hell wont beat the Swans the week later, so lets just beat the Hawks avoid the spoon and finish second last and be happy and look at 05.
NO SPOON.....
-
Bring on the spoon !!
Who cares !!
Big deal !!
Nobody remembers who won the spoon. I bet no-one here remembers when we won our last spoon. I don't. Or even who won the spoon 2 years ago ?
Bring on picks 1 and 4, and we'll soon forget about the spoon when these kids are dominating the comp.
-
1989 boss......and yes we all remember who wins the spoon....
No spoon....second last is bad enough, lets not totally humiliate ourselves. Ive seen 2 spoons in my life-time.....a third is NOT REQUIRED!
-
The way we have played this year it would be a travesty of justice if we escaped without the spoon. I would like to make it official that we have hit rock bottom.
Yes we will cop schit for it off opposition supporters, but we can't cop any more schit than what our team has delivered to us this year.
-
Sorry, but we dont deserve the spoon..
We will win this week. ;)
-
Hawthorn deserves the spoon more than us. :rollin
Having lost out on coaches and been just as bad off the field as they have been on it, they deserve some reward for overall consistency at being bad and need to win something to show for it. Better them than us. :thumbsup
Two wooden spoons in one life time is two too many. :'( :P
-
LMFAO
I admit, Hawthorn has been worse, but we have been way too bad this year not to cop some humiliation for it. :banghead
-
:rollin at supporters needing to be humiliated.
Maybe the AFL could bring out the cutlery set and have a wooden spoon and a wooden fork? :rollin
16th gets the wooden spoon and 15th the wooden fork. Nearly as bad as a wooden spoon, but not quite, yet still as embarrassing/humiliating.
-
lmfaooooooo, sounds good to me. :thumbsup
-
I believe Garry Ablett snr is having his own battle...except his is with the spoon not for it.
-
What's the point of picking Marsh if you start him on the bench ???. Everitt's won the first two hitouts and clearances.
Hawks first two goals :o
-
Weller goals - woohoo!
-
Geez MMM have the Hawthorn cheer squad on today Quartermain, Salmon and Dunstall ::)
Weller and Krakouer bring it back to a point.
-
Is it being broadcast on another station, because I can't understand a word they're saying - acoustics are the pits
-
they're the worst commentators - have no idea what's going on.
They scream oh that's a terrible decision and don't say what's going on.
I know what's going on now - Zantuck has gone troppo
Come on Shane - fire up at the ball
-
Nah. 3aw and 3lo are doing the brissy game.
Zantuck's gone nuts.
4 goals down. Spoon here we come.
Umpiring is a disgrace.
-
Onya Billy NIcholls - goal!
-
Anyone know what time it comes on Foxtel?
-
WP will be happy about that one ;D
We're gone! Hawks have come to play. We keep turning over the ball under no pressure.
Danny loves breaking records. Hawks best quarter of the year ::).
-
Anyone know what time it comes on Foxtel?
Don't know froars but it's on delay on Ch. 9.
1/4 Time
Rich 3.3 Weller, Krakouer, Billy
Haw 7.4
Cogs, Hartigan, Blumfield :o, Cambo, Bowden getting a fair bit of it.
Everitt is killing us. Where's Staff :P.
-
Last time I wimped an away game and stayed home, it started at 1/2 time on the radio. So, if that's the case, i'm gonna turn on at half time and watch the first half and then the second live without knowing what's happening. Hate listening to this crap.
-
Tivs got one back
-
CAn someone tell me who got that last goal pls - can't understand the commentary on MMM - i dont think they even said it.
-
You all go missing - thanks lol
-
Six Hawthorn players on Richo and no crummers - FFS Danny!
-
Ben Marsh - our new Wayne Thornborrow :banghead
Gas, AK - goodbye! ::). Richo is having a shocker. Cambo is sadly a shadow of his former self. Short kick after short kick.
We're currently got the spoon and deserve it :'(.
Umpires might as well have Hawthorn jumpres on. Pathetic >:(

Thank you Frawley >:(

Says it all MT :'(
-
How about the our wooden spoon coach thinking he is a good judge of coaches and recommending to Dunstall on MMM that they pick McDonald ::).
I fear one of our lowest home crowds next Saturday :'(.
-
I fear one of our lowest home crowds next Saturday :'(.
I'll still go :banghead
-
I'm going too but i think i might leave the car home - going to drown my sorrows.
Interesting how we all react to the wooden spoon - all is not lost me thinks.
I reckon the Hawks will get pumped by Geelong by about 150 points and they'll clinch it after we go down by 120 :rollin
Hey, this is my feeble attempt at being upbeat lol

Do we know yet how much less we have to lose by in comparison with Hawthorn next week?
I cna't beleive it comes down to us being happy if we lose by X amount less than Hawthorn :banghead
-
I think i had my tongue firmly planted in my cheek Gibby, although it's a likely scenario.
Hawkers are on 71.49 and we're 70.56. What that equates to in how many points i wouldn't have a clue.
-
I'll be going too, leaving the car home, what a friggin waste of a year :'(

4 goals or thereabouts. The exact number of points depends on the final scores.
