Where does today's draw leave us with draft picks. Can we drop one more ??
All I want to see now is Melbourne & west Coast lose their picks now. Add Freo also to make the draft an even playing field.
These draft picks and there discussion is leaving a sour taste in my mouth. Shouldnt be hoping your team will lose ??

I hope this will answer everybody's questions about the order of draft picks.

Currently, the situation is like this.
North Melbourne - 4.5 wins (No priority)
West Coast - 4 wins (Lose their 1st round priority pick if they win 1 more or draw 1)
Richmond - 3.5 wins (Lose our 2nd round priority pick if we win 1. If we draw once, we still get the priority, but may lose pick #1 depending on other results)
Melbourne - 3 wins (Lose their 1st round priority pick if they win 2 more, or win 1 and draw 1)
Fremantle - 3 wins (Lose their 2nd round priority pick if they win 2 more, or win 1 and draw 1)
Winnable games for each of the bottom 4 clubs:
West Coast - Fremantle, North Melbourne, Richmond (All at Subiaco)
Richmond - Melbourne, Sydney, West Coast (MCG, MCG, Subiaco)
Melbourne - Sydney, Richmond, North Melbourne, Fremantle (Manuka, MCG, Etihad, MCG)
Fremantle - West Coast, Port Adelaide, Melbourne (Subiaco, Subiaco, MCG)
I've bolded the teams that the teams on the left will probably beat if Richmond really does want the #1 pick and the 2nd round priority pick.
Once again, I hope this helped. ;D

Outstanding answer. :clapping

What's this a poster that knows what he is talking about.
Is that allowed?
:lol
-
So we've got another draw up our sleeves :-\
If Melbourne and Freo win next week we could find ourselves on the bottom of the ladder with the Melbourne game a battle over who loses their priority pick :help.

I have a plan stan. ;)
We dont we try and change the culture
Get a new coach but also implement the following
A complete change of staff behind the scenes.
And I aint talking about the new coach bringing 4 or 5 of his best mates either, as the past coach did.
This process can only be driven from the President Ceo and the board, and if they aint going to do it, we will still be talking about missing the finals and tanking and losing games and sacking yet another coach in 5 years times, get the message .
Furthermore, if they wont do it, step aside and put a board ,CEO and President who wants to drive change.
If very clear that the current situation aint working.
We are pretty soft on and off the ground, we show no balls at trade period and we usually trade our picks for duds anyway.
We have serious problems with the development of young players at the club ( apart from a few who have recently shown signs ) Anyone seen Cleve by the way. Or Daniel Connors. ::)
Mate I am not negative, but its hard to be positive when your 7 goals up against a team of spastics and dont win the game. They had one player today, Harvey

I was not talking to you Jack.
You talk crap.
The great WilliamPowell at least adds comments of interst

I can't see Melbourne winning next week, sadly.

Riewoldt, Cotchin and Vickery have been our last 3 top 10 picks. Rance was our priority pick.
I thought Wallace was problem ???

Judging on the effort of the coach and team at yesterdays game we will win 3/4 of our last few games. Call it stupid or call it 'culture-creating' the signs are clear - we are NOT tanking! >:(
So its time for all us pro-tankers to face reality and unless the team is just that bad afterall which I don't believe they are, then we have to accept that we will give Melbourne, Fremantle and West Coast their priority picks and our first draft choice will more than likely be around 6/7.
For mine, just shows a great lack of foresight by the clubs administration and selection committee but this is Richmond FC is it not, so why should I expected anything less.
Bring on the meaningless wins! :birthday :santa :banghead

Don't worry about us getting a Priority Pick, we wont get it because we WILL win another game this year, what we should be hoping for is for the Demons and Eagles to win enough games to lose their PP's and for them to finish higher then us on the ladder. If it looked like this after round 22 I would be happy:
13. West Coast with 5+ wins
14. Melbourne with 5+ wins
15. Richmond with less then the above 2
16. Fremantle with 3 wins
That way Pick 1 to Fremantle, they take a WA youngester, and Pick 2 to the Tigers, we get the pick out of Scully/Butcher. :gotigers

I assure you Stripes that Bobby McFerrin is alive and well.He is married and has 3 children.Stupid Urban Myth that he committed suicide.
Anyhow.....Despite all the logical and articulate arguements for tanking I have decided its one issue thats out of our hands.I hope the next win comes quick to put us all out of our misery.

richmond will another game, without fail!
Add in, "win."

you are very negitive mate
;D never used to be Bents - 2009 has worn me down, my resolve is shot and I'm ticked off at losing - simply really :thumbsup

Can we use Morton as a scapegoat like a former coach did :eyebrow. "Hey Mitch, you cost the Club a priority pick with your bloody last minute goals against Freo and North" ;D
