The Last two rounds - 2013

[Bornadog]

These last two rounds will determine whether we get pick 4 or pick 5 in the National Draft
or we could end up with pick 6

The scenario is:

1. We beat Brisbane, Saints beat GC - then we will have pick 5

2. Dogs and GC both win - we get pick 4.

3. If Bulldogs beat Brisbane by 30 points and then Brisbane lose by 60 points to Geelong and GC lose to Saints, we end up with pick 6. We could still end up with pick 6 if the above margins are lower and we beat Melbourne by 100 points. However, if GC can beat Saints we get pick 5.

4. Obviously if we lose to Brisbane, we end up with pick 4 and the other games don't matter.
I wouldn't be too unhappy with this as long as its a close game.

Games and percentage will end up determining the final ladder positions. If we win the last two games and end up on 9 wins, my ladder predictor shows us equal 11th but lower on the ladder by % only.


Final Rounds:

Brisbane v Bulldogs
Saints v GC (Eithad)

GC v GWS
Bulldogs v Melbourne.
Geelong v Brisbane (at SS)

Complicated much? It all won't matter once #BulldogWildCard is activated.

In all seriousness I still prefer to win the last two games and what draft pick we get, so be it.

Agree. 4 or 5 im sure we will have a certain type of player targeted.

Agree azabob. Would like to win the last 2 matches. Our confidence is beaming right now and we should keep this great form going right to the end.

I'm not convinced that the difference between pick 4 or 6 makes that much difference, particularly as neither pick is likely to land Tom Boyd, Jesse Hogan or Jack Martin.

Obviously hoping we continue the winning streak...and if Gold Coast can beat St.Kilda, then that's a bonus.

Re: The Last two rounds - 2013

Dont care what pick we end up with as long as we win both games, we don't want to fall in a Melbourne type culture of losing games to get the best pick we can get.

Our 2014 season and beyond look so much brighter knowing the style if game we are now playing rather than who we can get in the Draft, especially when there would be next to no difference between picks 4, 5 or 6.

WIN at all costs!!!

Gold Coast are a good chance there to win despite it being at Etihad.

I can't see St Kilda beating anyone, so I think it's all redundant. I want to see us go up to Brisbane and win, then flog Melbourne in round 23 to finish the season on a high.

Winning 9 games and 5 of our last 6 will be great for the belief of players and fans alike going into next year.

We surely should beat Melbourne very easily based on our current form and there current form. I think we slipped up against them at that time because they just got a new coach and may have had a bit of confidence.

I personally hope we smash the Dees by 100 points PLUS.

There efforts have been insipid.

Re: The Last two rounds - 2013

The Melbourne match needs to be a real statement game as far as I'm concerned. The contrast in the course each club has taken needs to be stark.

Re: The Last two rounds - 2013

I'm with Azabob and don't care what draft pick we end up with. I just want us to beat the snot out of the Lions and Dees

Re: The Last two rounds - 2013

The next two games are MUST wins. Absolutely essential. I couldn't care less about the draft pick, I care about the 10,000 more members we need. If we can hit at least 35,000 next year, or even better 40k, with a team into the pre-season full of confidence and loving their footy and loving playing for each other, next year could well etch itself into Bulldog history. I'm thinking 1997 (though hopefully sans-tragic-ending).
