Essendon vs Carlton was a match I really hoped both would lose, but I have a mate who's a Dons fan and he and his family were being honoured by their club for their 47 years of dedicated support in a surprisingly classy gesture (even a stopped clock tells the time twice a day), so I was happy for them to get up. Also ecstatic for the blues to lose yet again. They are the next Richmond, Murphy and Gibbs are almost as lame marquee players as Cotchin and the other bloke.
As for the spoon question, I'm happy for the Bombers not to get Pick 1. Their 2016 results will always have an asterisk next to them due to the suspended personnel they missed. I certainly don't want them getting the best player in the draft and pumping him full of James Hird's Ju-Ju juice like a goose in a fois gras factory.
However, if pick 1 goes to a Vic team, players who want out might be happier to take their chances in the PSD than if they could potentially end up at Brisbane. No idea if that helps us or not.
Richmond: they make me laugh, some poster said a few weeks back and I agree. As I said before, you have to marvel at how all the big players at their club have all been totally diminished by their club apart from Martin and Riewoldt. Think of any other Richmond player and their star quality. Either they keep choosing players that fit their blah profile, or they cover them in Richmud. Other clubs do this to a certain extent (Demons, Roos, Power even the Dockers) but Richmond are best at ensuring no one will ever try and poach any of their players by making them anonymous. Feel sorry for Tigers fans.
EDIT: just remembered Other Bloke's name: Delidio or something. Deledio? Dildo? Something like that anyway think his first name is Brett.
