    Top Draft Pick or Finals Berth

    It's a hypothetical. Instead of 18th getting first pick, 9th does. But it doesn't work in your case. So I'll pose a different question. You get to play finals from 5th - 8th position OR you get Darcy Moore but don't play finals. So if you finish 5th-8th, you no longer get him. Which would you...

    "Race" for the wooden spoon

    Sounds patronising. It's a very "nice" idea, young fella. Now off you go, there's no problem. Why are we even discussing re-arranging the order of draft picks, if that's the case? Let's up the ante and suggest that Collingwood has the option of a finals berth or their first round pick. In other...

    So you let Buddy get to 100? That's very magnanimous of you. Gee, if not for the Blues, Buddy would never have reached 100. My deepest gratitude to your football club for letting him get there - sorry we were stingy and didn't let Fev do the same...

    Now we're getting somewhere! I could see this turning into a gimmicky event, however. We'd need a band to play or some rot...

    "Race" for the wooden spoon

    True, but they won't be tanking for that position unless they don't value a spot in the finals. I would be surprised if any team deliberately tanked as opposed to gunning for a finals berth, even if 5th - 8th. The flip-side of this argument with the current system is that middle-of-the-road...

    So they're not honest or smart if they say "no thanks"? I've duly asked them: http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/top-draft-pick-or-finals-berth.1070910/

    Top Draft Pick or Finals Berth

    Sorry to intrude, but I'm curious to get your opinion: Which would you prefer this year: 1) To play finals from 7th or 8th position 2) Finish 9th, not play finals and secure the number 1 draft pick? In other words, you can play finals or tank for 9th position where you'd pick up the number 1...

    I'd agree on this point - there is no sign of tanking this year.

    The reason they are on the bottom may be in part due to tanking, which is the whole point of this thread, no - searching for a way to eliminate tanking? My system offers, at worst, a disincentive for bottom teams to tank, rather than an incentive to stay down the bottom. As for how Collingwood/...

    I had a feeling Richmond would be referred to at some point. Imagine the feral Richmond fans after their team had been seen to be tanking for 9th position rather than trying to secure a position in the 8 and a finals berth... or the Collingwood fans...!!!
