Roast Death-Riding 2019: Collingwood, Gold Coast and Fremantle

[luthor]

This thread was created no doubt, with the expectation that we were in for another "development" season. Where draft picks were going to be THE major talking point from Round 8, 12 or 15 or whenever we dropped out if finals contention. Let's be honest, most of us were hoping for maybe 8-10 wins, 11 tops if we got lucky.

I myself, was predicting 10 and thought I probably was being a bit optimistic.

Surely the intent/spirit of this thread has faded into irrelevancy.

Anyone here death riding Freo against the Cats yesterday? If so, give yourself an uppercut.

Similarly, I have been barracking hard for the Suns the last few weeks in the (ultimately futile) hope they might help us shore up our position in the top 4, THIS season.

Incredible how perspectives can change.

EDIT: For obvious reasons, it goes without saying that death riding the Pies remains front and square for we Death Riders

Mums the word lol

Mummy has had his day!
A bit over the hill I would have thought!
It’s a NO from me, we’ll stick with Stef.

 

[buttermuffs]

I was never on the death ride for the Coast or Dockers, it was always about the Magpies.

Come on you Crows, if the Crows can beat the Magpies this weekend there goes the Magpies chances of finishing top 4 and with an exit in week 1 that would leave us with either selection 11 or 12 in the draft, Woooo Hoooo!

Crrrrooooooooooooooows!

The whole thing about this was finishing close to the Pies and it’s already happened,hoorah !

 

[jackess]

Crows not doing us any favours

Hopefully Collingwood get knocked out first week of finals

Pies a very good chance to finish 4th now. Not ideal.

They'd be backing themselves after last time but we're a very different team since then that has totally restructured our play style. I'd welcome it.

I was more thinking in terms of our draft pick - if they finish in the top 4 it is going to be later in the first round. I'd back us at home v them in a final and would prefer to play them instead of the Tiges probably.

It feels like no one is being all that helpful to us atm...

You’d pay everything in the world for where we are compared to anyone else

Oh I am not in the slightest unhappy with our current position - just commenting that every game recently where I/we have barracked for x to beat y because that would be better for us x seems to stuff it up horribly.

If we win next week pretty likely we play Collingwood first week of finals at the Gabba. How sweet it would be if we knocked them off after earlier in the year.

Collingwood are the team Im most concerned about facing in a finals tbh...

What's going on people, why is this thread being so neglected with what could be happening at the MCG tonight. If the Magpies go out in straight sets we end up with selection 13 or 14. Come on you Cats.

Eehhh! Pick 15 will do, after we rip through them at the Gabba in the prelim.

We're probably trading that pick anyway. But I will always barrack against Collingwood.

 

[iBeng]

Dammit Geelong.

Sadly if we meet them in the prelim it will be at the G.

 

[Dalions]

It has turned out that way.
But if we beat Richmond today it won’t be until the Grand Final.
Which means pick 17 for us.

 

[Bobby Beecroft]

14 certainly nicer than 18. Go GWS.
Oops make that 15.

Think it's 16 actually. Cats will have 15

Cats finished higher on the ladder in the regular season. So if that's the tie breaker then they have 16.

If hosting the prelim counts for more then what you say is correct.

Interesting.

Both are PF losers but Cats finished 1st on the ladder and Pies 4th.

On the other hand, Pies won their QF and Cats lost theirs.

Depends on whether a QF win before a PF loss gets you ranked higher?

Pretty sure hosting the prelim pushes you Up.
