It's a Grand Old Flag when you're an Eagle

[King Corey]

If we were in the 70's I'd be saying play for pride, play for the jumper now.

But we're not!

So let's make like a modern team and play that draft thing like a fiddle.

Field a team of players barely capable of growing enough stubble to shave in 6 months.

Pray that the Dees can score a couple of wins and jump us

Pray that the Eagles score an UPSET and lose their priority pick!

Result??

Roos get 6th pick, 50% of Carey's dough on the Veterans list, 4th pick pre-season and a sea of salary cap space up for grabs!

Almost makes us the poacher for a change.. not the.. poachee?

Might be an ugly way to do it, but hey it's an ugly world out there (just look at Lambert!).

 

[Voice of Reason]

Won't work - once you stop playing for pride, you can't just switch it back on again. You lose the passion, get lazy & just pick up the bludger's electronic transmission every other Thursday.

Play for pride! Play for the jumper! You'll be amazed what you can achieve.
