A question for the "meaningless win" proponents - a win on Saturday would be classed as "meaningless"?

yes

more so if we lose pick 6

It would be similar to beating hawks at the end of 2008.

Feels good for 24 hours, but does not set us up for the following season


So your saying that if we get pick 6 we will be set up for next season, but if we get pick 8 we wont be?
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

All I am saying is winning games in r21 as 22 might feel good but can hurt, come draft day.

we are already behind Melbourne in terms of ourlist potential. Rfc need to position them self as strong as possibile to set us up to try and be even 3 plus year from now

so what other actions should be taken to ensure we don't win against st kilda?

Experiment with a 'total forward 50 flood', where all of our team start the game in our F50 and run back in waves to watch Nick Riewoldt kick goal after goal.

Unless Brisbane 'upset' the Bombers tomorrow you would say we will beat Port and finish up with pick 8.

$50 slabbed on the Lions @ $2.30

Bombers are a mess internally and rumours they've been hit with the flu as well.

Lions will win for Jono Brown. He loves the Dome.

Come on Brissy get a win and give us Sean Atley!!!
Go Tigers!

Ge if anyone thinks we have a bad list and is upset.. just watch an Essendon game .. the side is filled with absolute poo.

Wouldnt pick up for free:
Slattery
Quinn
Dempsey
Dyson
Welsh
Neagle
Riemers
Myers

Other than Hille, Ryder, Watson they're future is slop.

Riemers, Monfries, Hurley, Zaharakis, Jetta, Davey are so hot and cold.

Essendon FC = RIP.
Go Tigers!
