My real interest is if we can somehow get Gold Coasts pick and keep pick 9 or whatever it ends up as.
Darcy Wilson and a Duursma combo would be good.

please lose this. We need the higher draft pick.
If we weren’t denied the win against the Swans any win against the Eagles would likely have seen us finish above the Bulldogs (they would have needed to make up about 8% playing Geelong at Kardinia Park, and the Cats would have still been in the finals race so unlikely to tank by resting Cameron, Hawkins et al.). We’d have made it even with a GWS win so long as Melbourne took care of Sydney.
But it’s all meaningless now, and the only thing on the line is a draft pick downgrade from 6 to 9 and finishing in the 12 - 7 tier on the ladder and missing out on a bottom 6 draw. There’s more interest in the reserves today, if South could knock off the Bays the Crows could finish top by beating Norwood, and would be good chance at making the GF.
And while a SANFL flag would also be pretty meaningless it would at least troll the s*&$ out of Port Power supporters who’d have to engage in a new form of mental gymnastics to explain how Port Magpie SANFL flags from last century count on the official ledger but a Crows reserves flag in 2023 doesn’t.
Vic media are lining up hoping this happens

Too Sweet
There is no negotiation. The AFL is openly laughing at us and we've moved onto 'important thing is each week's four points so lets win this week' bullshit.
At the end of the day, to everyone but us, it's a massive human error followed by system failure that they don't want to happen to them. The only interest to everyone else is the corrective action. It was a typically short sighted AFL rule, awarding 6 points is important enough to review every event, but denying 6 points isn't. They're the same thing. The only difference is the break in play opportunity, which can be fixed by bringing the ball back if a point is overturned into a goal. And let's be real, it's only going to happen once or twice a match.
So pretty much like half our games?
I can't beleive people think we are getting any sort of compo.
Might as well wheel Chapman out "just wait until the full story comes out".
Its all just bullshit.

I wanna see Tex playing out of the goal square from start to finish
Every time you step on the field you should want to win. No matter where you are on the ladder and **** draft picks.

When I played any sport, I always wanted to win.
Ordinarily, I always want the Crows to win. Playing to lose offends my competitive spirit.
All week, I've believed that the Crows should play hard to win BIG, stick it up the AFL and show them that we're the best team outside the 8 with the best %, and that last week's loss kept us out of the 8.
However, the AFL doesn't care and would probably be happier to see Sydney (ex-VFL) in 8th spot, anyway.
The best outcome for the Crows today is to lose and hope Haimish gets it right with Pick 6.

Dont mind if we win but I want us to win because:
Pedlar, Soligo, Dawson and Schoenberg form the bulk of the midfield work + Rankine and Rachele come in for longer periods.
Tex kicks 14 and wins the Coleman

Exactly. Idiots like Gil and the media shills.
The “best outcome” isn’t very clear cut to me. Agree that a loss would help our draft picks a little, but then how would the current playing group feel for the rest of this coming preseason?
Personally if I was a Crows player, I’d be gutted if losing by less than a goal due to the shonkiest of umpiring call in the one week, and then losing to the bottom side in the following week. Would not make happy moods heading towards their summer break.
I think a high scoring game would be ideal, with Tex scoring the bulk. Whatever happens then at least it’d be an enjoyable game to watch.

I don't know what I want out of this game other then a big bag from Tex and no Injuries.

Not watching this one thanks.
I hope we win though. We should never deliberately lose a match for draft picks.
