Brisbane v Carlton at Gabba 7:20pm

"
The Round 22, 2007 match between Melbourne and Carlton, nicknamed the Kreuzer Cup, was the most controversial match in the tanking debate. It was the last match of the regular season, and both Melbourne and Carlton had a record of 4–17, meaning that whichever team won the match would lose the chance at a priority draft pick, and both clubs had already avoided the ignominy of the wooden spoon, as Richmond had secured it with a final record of 3–18–1. Overall, this meant that there was no benefit for either club to win, but a significant benefit to losing.

The stakes were particularly high in Carlton's case, because the club had also received a priority pick in the 2006 season; as such, if it lost this match, it would receive the No. 1 draft pick as its priority pick. In Melbourne's case, the priority pick it could have received would be the No. 18 pick; the No. 1 pick would go to wooden spooners Richmond if Melbourne lost the match. The match became known as the Kreuzer Cup, named after Northern Knights' ruckman Matthew Kreuzer, who had been expected to be (and was eventually, by Carlton) selected with the No. 1 pick in the 2007 AFL Draft."

Huh. Weird since Richmond finished last.

Gave them a priority pick by losing

 

[Toddy86]

Seriously, Heppell and Merrett have more talent between them than the entire Carlton list.

 

[tigs2010]

No Yarran no Carlton

Yep, odd how it used to work, just glad we were able to take advantage before the AFL messed with it, Picks 1 and 2 were a Godsend way back when for us.

No Deledio no tiger!

Carlton's fault we don't have Selwood. Changed the rule mid year the year of Gumby and Selwood, would have had pick 2 and 4 and gotten Selwood at 4

Beat Brisbane without him

 

[eth-dog]

Good for Brisbane but nobody can tell me they're a 10 goal better side than Carlton. Not after that first quarter anyway.

They are. Carlton are that bad.

 

[RedFury]

Still would take Murphy, Kreuzer, Gibbs, Cripps, Simpson, Henderson, Menzel and Jamison over Rockliff, D.Beams, Hanley, Martin, Merrett, Robinson and Christensen slightly.

Really? I wouldn't and I barrack for the damn club.

Wonder if Richmond would have taken Kreuzer had Carlton won that day. They took Cotchin at 2 instead so they potentially dodged a bullet.
2007 had Carlton won you would have moved to pick 5, and wonder if you still would have taken Myers or taken a punt of Jarrad Grant, or perhaps a youngster from the Falcons named Patrick in hindsight.

Yes they are we a crap worst team in afl by far.

Redden, Zorko, Rich, Mayes... We've got a good but young and experienced list. I don't think anyone in their right mind would take Carlton's list over Brisbane's.

Or take Tambling over Franklin!!!!!

Heck both Franklin and Jordan Lewis were taken after Tambling so they messed up more then once on that.

Hawks had picks 2, 5 and 7 in that draft. What a way to build a team fast. Especially when all 3 turn out to be diamonds.

looked like some carlton flog threw bottle onto the ground

Well tanking has worked out for them in the past, why not do it again.

We would have taken Cotch at 1 but we would have been happy with either.

 

[Kram]

Not shaking his hand.. pretty weak.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Wow, thats poor.

Carlton player refused to shake Robinsons hand after the match.

 

[BorisDawg]

Who thought it was a good idea to interview Robinson?

But on that note, LOL Jamison. Piss weak.

 

[RedFury]

Mitch Robinson clearly holding a grudge against his old team. 15 tackles! Am I reading that right?

 

[Donakebab]

Jamison refuses to shake Robinsons hand. It's not like he bailed on the club, the guy was delisted. As much of a flog as Robbo is, Jamison just showed that he's an even bigger one.

 

[Toffee Lion]

Piss poor Jameson

What was your list like at the time? Were you more in need of a ruckman or classy midfielder?
