They traded in to this situation, they intended to bottom out and be bad. They should not be given a PP for a situation they intentionally put themselves in to.

Theres no way Collingwood are in the conversation for the spoon. Injuries will keep them out of the 8 though

If GC were in this position they’d have it locked in already.
Plus we’ve been one of the more honest clubs going around, often hovering around 9th to 13th the past decade with a couple of finals appearances.
it’s not in our DNA to tank, we are simply not good enough now, not good enough to a point where the PP should be seriously considered.

I dont believe we will win a match in Melbourne, the Tassie games always represent our best our chance.

We are now a very good chance...Can see North winning a few more games especially with some of their injured players to come back in the back half of the season...Their youngsters will get a huge confidence boost after yesterday as well... Can see us winning 2 more games max.

We're still right in the mix.
North still red hot faves. With their % they are sill 2 games in the clear.
If they shock and end up winning a handful more this year, then it's wide open four horse race between them, the hawks, the dons and pies.
Adelaide and Carlton no chance.

I can’t see Essendon getting the spoon. Adelaide still a chance given recent poor form, but not Carlton who are definitely 9-12th calibre.
Roos Hawks Pies Crows are the only four I could visualise getting it if things go very wrong for them.

It won’t matter to North if they win the spoon coz it’s all about the process.

Hopefully not. Happy to finish bottom 4 but we need to keep the “zero spoons since 1965 intact”. Tank carefully Hawks!

I will happily cop our first spoon since '65 if it means getting Horne!

Did Worpel and O’meara playing out of the goal square while North walk it out of the middle give it away?
We can only hope to get Pick 1 at this stage
Have you watched any football this year? Sure, before the season, looked quite possible, but now could of conceivably be 7-2 and third on the ladder. Not even close to the conversation for worst team.
