Win or lose?

[chef]

Whats every ones thought on where we finish on the ladder and hopes for this weekend?

Depending on results we can finish anywhere from 10th to 13th.

Prefer to win.
I think we can have a big win and send Barry and Huddo off in style - and something for a few of the young boys to take in to the pre-season.

We will not be able to lose to Freo even if we try.

For sure win! A lost against an injury depleted team does not help building confidence into our young players. I keep hearing everyone saying ... 'a winning culture ...." bla bla bla ...

Win.

Our first round picks have at best been patchy, a spot higher or lower is unlikely to make much difference either way.

Re: Win or lose?

Win- and good luck to the lads who carry Bazza and Huddo off the ground. Will it change our position much anyway?

I'm not sure I understand the question. Why wouldn't we want to win?

If we win and finish 10th we might get pick 15.

If we lose and finish 13th we might get pick 12.

I think chef is implying we 'tank' such to get a better pick.

Win. The notion of anything other than going for the win, regardless of the possible benefit in picks, I can't stomach. Baz and The Beard deserve 110%, a big win, and great games for them both. GO THE DOGGIES!

1) Win and win big, and give some of our younger guys and the team in general some much needed confidence coming into 2012

2) Give Hudson and Barry a decent send off

A pick 3 places up in the teens wont make much difference to the teams fortunes in 2012/13, but #1 above will

Re: Win or lose?

I think we will win and hopefully Melb and Richmond both win so we maintain our draft position.People might not be able to stomach it, but that's the system we live in.
Pre- season Draft also could be important.

OK, he's back to tanking and wanting us to lose again.

I agree it's fools Gold at this time of the year.
Recall Port winning some late games last season.
Round 22 2002 anyone?

Win.

The flight home is depressing when you are hungover, worse when we lose and I am hungover.

Re: Win or lose?

In this draft, the difference between pick 12 (13th) and pick 17 (10th) could be significant.

I hope we win and I hope the mighty tiges do the right thing and beat those north @$@$.

But I wouldnt be crying in my corn flakes if we lost either. The whole season has been a train wreck and one whether we win 8 or 9 for the year is irrelevant in the long term.

I dont want the team to tank in the melbourne style - playing guys out of position and so on. Thats just degrading and wrong.
