Season is shot. Should we go the tank for better picks?

[Dubstep Dookie]

Worked out this arvo based on the current ladder positions and activated compensation picks, we would eligible for the following if we finish 12th:-

Picks 9, 26 (Port compo), 28, 47, 65, 83, 101.

Best case scenario based on our draw and the draw of other teams below us, if we go the tank we can finish 2 spots lower (14th) with port above us. Picks under this sceanrio will be:-

Picks 7, 25, 27 (Port compo), 45, 63, 81, 99.

Keep in mind the final order will be affected by any free agency compensation which is more likely to shuffle down our 2nd and/or later picks rather than our first.

Based on this, should we go the tank? Is there much to gain?

I dont hink we need to pull any strings , we'll be lucky to win more than 2 more games....and someone needs to be sacked over this, sheesh, only a month or so ago we were giantkillers, red hot favs for finals...i cant believe the collapse

[Gigantor]

Mr jangles....our depth is poo......

[Tigermonk]

l seriously dont care what they do down there anymore. Our local club will be playing finals & l be holding the bar up there cause noway am l spending another dollar going to Melbourne this year.

The club has sold its FTF message 19th man message and all that crap. Rather than look and try and make the Essendon home game in Round 22 as the clubs GF after the great success in the way it marketed last nights game as the clubs final the club needs to the right thing long term by the fans the players it is looking to keep on the list next year and the club itself.

Anyone who has niggles in for an op.

Ivan have an op now and be ready for pre season in early November. No point waiting till early September and then add end of season break and start pre season in December.

Anyone who has niggles have a break and pull the pin.

Play the kids as many as we can.

With a full list we have shown some great signs our focus from now has to be ROund 1 next year against the Filth and preparing for that, getting those with injuries right and ensuring that our trade and draft weeks are successful and we find the right player for the list deficiency we have. A couple of boys in the draft who can step right in like Ellis or Morris would be more than handy.

The club's reputation in 2013 is at stake or whatever is left of it anyway according to some. Need to make every post a winner or the drop off and good will is going to fall away dramatically and the FTF will be nothing more than a calamatous charity.

We must finish as high as we can to create a winning culture!

Must beat: dogs, please beat Freo, essenscum, port

Easiest way to get the best junior players into your club is to go the tank. Melbourne could end up with the first 3 picks this season and if they do with Paul Roos in charge they will go right past us.

C'mon. The boys will rally and string some wins together and finish 9th or tenth again.

The club will be saying we beat both grand final teams this season so we aren't that far away.

It will be the same rubbish we've heard over and over and over.

They'll be kidding themselves for another 3 years.
