Win Prizes Port, Pies & Saints 2024 Death Ride

[Snuffaluphagus]

There are some rule changes, as it's my baby and there has been some... disappointing opinions in here. The thread is for cheering on picks, you deathride or you have civil conversations in the non-freo thread.

**** Port, **** Pies, **** Saints!!!!

Melbourne pushing Pies down a pick would be a nice little sweetner.

Port having GWS first week of finals is a nice step in the right direction for a Port's straight set exit

I know it’s incredibly unlikely, but if the Bombers can beat the lions, they’d also push the pies down a spot if they lose to the dees.

I think I'll buy a lotto ticket instead

Helping the Port finals deathride is they are basically locked in to play GWS week 1 and I don't care where they play, GWS are winning that game IMO

The world never seems to naturally do us any favours but honestly would almost predict Port to go out in straight sets.

Geelong too not that it's relevant to this thread.

Highly likely our picks 9, 10,11 and 24 assuming port goes out in straight set.
I assume port plays winner of 5 v 8 and lose , will it change their pick to 11 instead of 14?

Would be very hard for Ports pick to be lower than 14, would need another top 4 to go out in straight sets

Port very underrated on here


Reckon they'll make a prelim at minimum

How the picks work:
Premiers: pick 18
runners up: pick 17
Higher ladder placing finisher in prelim: pick 16
Lower ladder placing finisher in the other prelim: pick 15
Higher ladder placing loser of elimination final in week 2: pick 14
Lower ladder placing Loser of elimination final in week 2: pick 13
Higher ladder placing loser of elimination final in week 1: pick 12
Lower ladder placing loser of elimination final in week 1: pick 11.

Therefore it’s not possible for a top 4 finishing side to get any lower than pick 13, as they are guaranteed a second chance and will at worst be in week 2 elimination final. The highest value pick port can have is pick 13.

The ideal scenario is:
Freo win
GWS beat WB
Geelong absolutely flog the crap out of WC
Melbourne upset Collingwood
Carlton give St Kilda a flogging
GCS give Richmond a flogging

That would mean:

• Port drop to 4th
• Collingwood drop to 11th
• St Kilda drop 14th
• most importantly we finish 8th and hopefully we get an opportunity at dropping Port a further spot to 5th by beating them in a semi final at AO.

Bloody happy they didn't make the 8, I did say they'll make a prelim if they made the 8


****en annoying how close they got

Port and Pies are in the opposite spots to where I thought they'd be.

This way is definitely better because Pies finals credentials >>>> Port's.

Think we'll need Port to flunk in finals to get a decent pick from them. I held hope of some kind of premiership hangover on the Pies given the age of their list and today was definitely a good start there

I do remember the posts last year guaranteeing that the Pies pick would be pick 18 as a fait accompli

It's literally impossible to get better than pick 13. That involves two teams going out in straight sets and Port being the lowest ranked too.

For those that don't get it without this explanation:

• Whoever loses the elimination finals gets picks 11 and 12
• Whoever loses the next week gets 13 and 14. Then 15 and 16 the week after etc etc.

Don't have to go back a year, mid season I had em deadset top 4!

It’s actually a possibility that both Sydney and Port go out in straight sets. That would give us 13

 

[Heave Ho Bro]

Death riding Port to go out in straight sets now. That’s it. That’s what’s left of the death ride.

What do we do when they win the flag?

I think it’s either pick 13 or 14 but an earlier claimed it’d be pick 12 which is literally zero chance unless the AFL suddenly strips a team of their first round pick.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

While the main part of the death ride is over. I think it's actually very handy if Port go out in straight sets. I strangely feel like there is a much better chance Richmond accept 9 and 14 then 9 and 17.

 

[Joao]

Be great if the Dees could get up this week as well.

8 looks a fair bit better than 9.

 

[Joao]

Houston not getting downgraded helps a lot with the Port deathride.

 

[freo_leo29]

Laurie for Sparrow is a massive downgrade for the Dees


Pies seem to have gone a bit youthful this week though, may be good for us?

“Managed” McStay seems like a strange choice given their seasons over.

Came back early from a knee

No point putting him through it in a dead rubber you'd think, get him rested up for next season
