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 can't see Melbourne winning next week, sadly.

whats the point in getting a priority pick?
We would only pick up another JON :banghead :banghead
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.

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
