Hornethorne and the wooden spoon dilemma

[hardway]

hindsight is a wonderful thing.
imagine we traded Gunner last year for their Future first rounder

At least we could’ve enjoyed a victory!

 

[Bardo State]

This thread is about to fire up again! Horne is definitely in play now… North v Crows will probably settle it for us.

North v Crows and Hawks v Pies will shape it.

 

[Dewnior]

I just don't see us finishing last. We are so inconsistent at the moment and aside Pies we are just as likely to beat one of Lions or Tigers off the back of Clarko inspiration

Not even hindsight, was a no brainer for me if Gunston and Collingwood were willing.

 

[Rob R]

With percentage, if we beat Collingwood, we'd still finish below them. We need to win two more to go past them.

I think our draw with Melb makes the percentage irrelevant except if we are equal with Nth.

the Collingwood which were shedding cap space… that Collingwood?

 

[Pessimistic]

Bottom 4 around 80% this year so meh. Who gives a rats

Yeah we should have offered to pay half his salary or something, but yeah I don't think Gunston was willing anyways.

Wooden Spoon - imaginary prize.

For me it’s Premierships & Premierships only.

Who actually remembers wooden spooners ?!

Hawks - reigning wooden spooners 2021 ?! Yeah….nah

Pick 1 - gives our recruiters total control and McKenzie options if he so chooses

If we come last or 17th ….so be it

 

[hfc70]

IF we get Pick 1 - would we consider trading GWS (current picks 3 & 7) for Pick 1 ……very tempting

We might do, but I’m not sure Giants would be that keen on Pick 1. They’d just take the two top 10 picks.

3x Top 10 Picks when they get compo from Kelly leaving

 

[hardway]

Will be fun to watch the Roos v Crows game. How will they come up with a result to assist both teams.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

3x Top 10 Picks when they get compo from Kelly leaving

Not sure Kelly will go though.

 

[Brant]

Not sure Kelly will go though.

Yeah, not sure.

GWS will surely want him gone?

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Yeah, not sure.

GWS will surely want him gone?

I don't know. That salary cap is an elastic band.

If we finished last then I say we trade our future first for GWS' Collingwood pick. Then take Horne and Callaghan. Walk Cerra to the PSD and throw cash at Josh Kelly. We would make the finals with the injured players back and set us up for a genuine tilt in two years

Huge risk if it all backfires. Cerra and Kelly would have to come. Horne and Callaghan would take time.

Plus nothing about our current forms says two years from finals, injuries or not.

Rather just get Horne and continue our step by step rebuild. Rushing will only get us in trouble.

 

[robiecampbellbrown]

If we finish last it’s Horne. I couldn’t bear watching him tear it up for the next 10 years knowing we could have had him. Nothing is certain of course but you take your best shot.

Seems like the risk for GWS outweighs the reward there? Bird in the hand and all that jazz …

 

[Flukey!]

I just don't see us finishing last. We are so inconsistent at the moment and aside Pies we are just as likely to beat one of Lions or Tigers off the back of Clarko inspiration

Really?
I genuinely cant see us beating anyone else this year.
I think we are done.
North are a better side than us and I expect them to go above us.

 

[robiecampbellbrown]

Only chance of a win is Pies with no Pendlebury or Moore. Even then we are 50-50. One more injury aNd we are just about done.

Percentage irrelevant we have a draw

Yeah, people were saying the same thing then we went and did GWS, Swans and drew with Dee's.

We are a yoyo at the moment and still have one if not two more bounce ups for the remainder of the season. Just hope one of them is against the tuggers.

We usually have pies measure and they are really ordinary at the moment

With no Pendlebury or Moore we are slight favourites I think
