My take at what gillo would say if the Blues come last, just like he went on the club boards asking everyone "But wouldn't you prefer Boekhorst over *better draftee* here?"

made me think you were having a dig at me
Bulldogs are the darkhorse for the spoon IMO.
They went backwards last year, lost Griffen, etc.
They might have to take two steps backwards to move forward.

Exactly my stance.
Why are Carlton suddenly spoon contenders when they were very close to beating some pretty good teams, and with a bit of luck, would have had 4-5 more wins last year?
Where is St. Kilda's sudden improvement going to come from? Carlton is going to have to play significantly worse to even have a chance of getting it. They had some injury concerns last year too, so far touch wood the list isn't too affected by injury. A full pre-season for most of the players, uninterrupted, is going to help a lot. Especially with Kruezer back in the side.
If Carlton win the spoon this year, I'll eat Andrew Walker's hat.

Not sure why they're excluded tbh. Bottom 4 chance which means spoon chance.

Is it true that Essendon has never won a spoon? Could be wrong but thought I read it somewhere. This year would be a great time to start.
Failing that, probably St.Kilda. Dogs are interesting in that they've got a lot of good young talent but lost a lot of players this year and have a coach who to me might not be the man.

They've won 4 but their last one was in 1933.

Well, if you take a look at the Wikipedia page, you'd see that Port's never won a spoon either. You can draw your own conclusions out of the fact that neither of the South Australian teams have finished last...
Edit - I don't really have enough information to say who'd get the spoon next year, but I must say, I'm glad to see St. Kilda going back to their 'roots' in recent years.
Well, hard to go past St. Kilda, and Western Bulldogs in the mix as well, but I think the race is pretty wide open. With a few team expected to improve alot, as many are due for a drop down the ladder...

I added Collingwood just for you guys
That would take them to at least 2 votes, which is more than both Melbourne and GWS.
Saints or Carlton. Only two contenders.

Would Essendon receive pick 1 if we finished last?
Yeah think we could be in for a rough year but St.Kilda will be hard to beat.
They are that year or two behind us in the rebuild, & I don't think Nick will produce what he did last year as regularly.
If there is justice in this world, then Essendon will be the 2015 Wooden Spooners.

I would say yes because the AFL has already issued its penalty

St Kilda should be on very short money. Not much improvement for this year.
