Melbourne smashed Freo....
So we are odds on favorite for pick 4.
Melbourne have locked in first 2 picks unless miracles occur and they win against Carlton and St.kilda.
The only chance we have is for a lower pick is if Freo beat Essendon in round 21. They will not beat Geelong in Round 22. While we lose the next 2 games.
As it stands now:
1. Melbourne (PP)
2. Melbourne
3. Fremantle
4. Richmond
5. N.Melbourne
6. West Coast
For Scenario sake Melbourne lock in picks 1 and 2. They wont win another game they've got this far and wont beat Carlton or St.Kilda simple as that. North Melbourne have Saints and Port away. Can't see them winning that. West Coast have Adelaide away then us, can't see them beating Adelaide. So here goes:
Scenarios:
Best Case:
We lose next 2 games. Fremantle Beat Essendon and leap frog us. We get pick 3.
1. Melbourne
2. Melbourne
3. Richmond
4. Fremantle
Most likely
I think Fremantle probably will beat Essendon, but I think we will beat West Coast. North wont win a game pich 4th Pick and we will end up with Pick 5.
1. Melbourne
2. Melbourne
3. North Melbourne
4. Fremantle
5. Richmond
Worst Case:
If we somehow beat Hawks and then beat West Coast on the back of a Cousins mauling. We leap frog all cellar dwellers and get pick 6.
1. Melbourne
2. Melbourne
3. Fremantle
4. North Melbourne
5. West Coast
6. Richmond
So once again it comes to Round 22 and as a club we will find ourselves in a very likely posistion of more than likley if we win we can lose a possible 2 picks in the draft order.
Ive never ever been a pro tanker, but when it comes down to 1 game its a different story. Its not the clubs fault. The AFL need to do something about it. If there was a lottery you'd go out and play the natural game, a lose for an extra 10 balls in the lottery doesn't warrant to "experiment" stupidly.
The win against West Coast could be the difference between a Trengrove/Butcher and a Gysberts/Lucas selection.

Pope...not Richmond bashing here but based on the current form of both teams-Richmond is NOT capable of beating WC at Subi.
Pick 4 is ours.

I don't think it matters as Freo will take Morabito anyway
-
Your prob right, so with Scully gone to Melbourne :( and Moribitto to Freo the home boy. Other than Melbournes 2nd pick we have the field to choose from.
So basically we have the latter of a Butcher/Trengrove duo or does anyone else stand out as a chance? Gyseberts? Lucas? Martin?
I think the draft talk is a lot more enjoyable than the coach talk.
-
Go Fremantle!!!
who will be the likely top five players in the draft???
i am hoping the Scully being a Richmond supporter would ask Melbourne and Fremantle not to pick him!!!
i'm hoping remember!!!

Melbourne have locked in first 2 picks unless miracles occur and they win against Carlton and St.kilda.
Is this the case? Aren't they on 4 wins now so beating either Carlton or St Kilda would be enough?
-
Bottom line- we get pick 3 or 4 and we get a star! Don't stuff it up Tigers!
-
Its either Martin or Lucas and I would be happy with either.

im inclined to agree...with foley, cotch out of our midfield, we are NO chance and thats notwithstanding WC excellant vein of form.. :whistle
