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!!!!

Interesting that Collingwood sit above the Hawks on the ladder, even though Hawthorn have won more games. Games won should preceed percentage surely.

That's going to be fixed this coming weekend when they play each other.

Up the mighty Hawks.

It's unusual for sure but premiership points are allocated for a reason. The AFL has determined that a draw is half as good as a win. That isn't the case in other sports.

I think the system is fine unless you believe a draw should be worth less tbh.

Don’t disagree, but probably should be premiership points, then wins, then percentage! And just remember what thread we are in!

Port will struggle this week?

No, they are flat trackers. Probably win easily.

Jones and Marshall could be out?

The midfield trio will carry them. Jones isn't good anyway.

Unfortunately you can pencil in a Richmond loss against anyone at this stage.

It’s not like we were traded the first rounders from North Melbourne and West Coast. It was always going to be an up and down ride if it went well - let’s just ride it.

I naturally (not purposefully fudging results) can have Pies and Port handing over pick 6 and 7 while still winning two more games each. Footy might not be, but the picks are coming home!!!

[Kram]

I still can't believe they even threw in pick 34 as well.

If he was out of contract, we probably would have accepted 34

When you read about their terrible draft results I can understand their push to trade for ready made players.

For us though it is much more cautionary. We lack the 'destination club's monika and the f/s freebies. We need to be successful in the draft and seem to have learnt some lessons about trading for a saviour.

Very interested to see how the Warner situation plays out, but the alternative of using the draft hand to address some issues is equally compelling.

many draftees especially taken at the top end play straight away in AFL and make decent impact...So not a bad outcome if we do not get Warner

David Walls may have also played a part.

Yep, by all reports this is firming as a very good and even draft, would love to keep at least 2 top 25 picks to address needs

We all knew he had a crack & I would have loved for him to stay, but he was not irreplaceable in our team as I felt we played 1 too many little fellas in our forward half anyway.
He was never the difference between us being any good or being crap.

 

[Tony_Clifton]

I've always thought Schultz's special quality was his dog hungriness. I don't blame him being pissed off after being moved to the rookie list. One wonders if he is that dog hungry to prove himself now he has four years on decent money

You and some ITK’s

 

[malpaso]

Nothing they said about us losing Shultz was untrue at the time. What should be talked about now is the 'genius' that talked them into giving up their future 1st knowing what the 'stats' said about his importance to us and not giving a crap about how that would translate to the Pies.
