Possible bottom 6 sides games against each other

Saints play Carlton, GC, NM, Melb, Carlton, Sydney
Syd play Nth, GC, Carlton, Melb, Saints.
GC plays Sydney, Saints, North Melbourne, Carlton,
Carlton saints, Melb, Syd, GC, Saints
NM play Syd, GC, Saints, Melb.
Melb. Carlton, Saints, Sydney, North,

Saints are safe and probably the key as they play Carlton twice.

If we assume most teams halve their weaker games Carlton finish bottom.
Nth are the main rivalry but they have improved since putting Ziebell back in the middle

Alan Richardson has coached against Bolton 4 times for 4 wins.
I bet he's glad they play them twice this year.

Its taken Bolton 40 games since round 14 2017 to win his last 4 games.

You have to wonder what a good coach would be able to turn Cripps into.

Cripps seems to me like the kind of player that only knows one way to play. Doesn't matter what team he's in or who the coach is, he's just going to get in there and do his thing and god help anyone who gets in the way.

He wouldn't be any better at another team, but he would make that team better.

I read something a week or two back which made me smile and shake my head. The writer suggested Carlton was tanking. I thought either the author has absolutely no idea or must think Carlton loves us that much.

Then again... if you think about it.. they couldn’t be accused of tanking could they, because like you say they would only be providing adelaide with the rewards from it...

so they may actually think “let’s tank because no ones gonna accuse us of it and if we do come last again for the second year in a row we’ll have an enormous case to apply for a priority pick”... so they give pick 1 to adelaide and get pick 2 as a priority for being totally hopeless.

Far fetched I know... but this is the A(V)FL and stranger things have happened!..

Could you imagine Cripps in say GWS midfield or even our midfield..instead of getting the best tagger and the most attention, opposition teams would have multiple good mids to worry about and cripps could really get off the leash or allow others to do so
 
Fun Facts with Grotto.

Worried about our draft pick changing over the weekend?

Some Fun Facts to give you some comfort and peace of mind.

Carlton since 1993 have only won once in NSW. (Blues posters please stop penciling in your R17 v Sydney in Sydney as a potential win)

Adelaide has won its last 9 games in Queensland. GreyCrow
 
GWS are going to crush them this weekend, yikes

Bonus Fun Facts with Grotto

Worried about Carlton posters being all positive, believing in an away win. Ponder this.

Under Bolton Carlton have won against just two teams AWAY, outside of Victoria. To make it ONLY 3 AWAY WINS.

Freo in 2016 who finished 16th.

Suns in 2017 who finished 15th.

Suns in 2018 who finished 17th.

North Melbourne play Sydney this week. They're the only two teams that are just one win ahead of Carlton.

Assuming Carlton lose, there will be more than a game separating them from every team except one.
Norf in Tassie are tough to beat.

Since 2002 the year Simpson was drafted Carlton have won 127 games out of 388.
Long term average is 1 win every 3 games.

Carlton posters think they will still win 6-7 games this year.
Do they realize there's only 14 games left.

As bad as Melbournes been they have won 142 games
St Kilda 195 wins
