Win Prizes Port, Pies & Saints 2024 Death Ride

[Snuffaluphagus]

There are some rule changes, as it's my baby and there has been some... disappointing opinions in here. The thread is for cheering on picks, you deathride or you have civil conversations in the non-freo thread.

heck Port, heck Pies, heck Saints!!!!

Picks transcend rivalries

Nah I'd take the hit.
Even Carlton's one point loss was worth it in 2022.

Picks transcend rivalries

I just can’t do it sorry
The Pies are gonna finish 4-7th anyway I reckon so not a huge pick difference

I reckon our best bet is with Port given SPP is done for the season and Rozee potential hammy issues . Sooner or later Dixon will break down as well .

Saints should be good for a 10-12th place finish

Port with their hugely attacking game plan will break down

Port with their hugely attacking game plan will break down

Their defence is questionable too
Bring it in low and fast and they get wrong footed pretty quickly
Although Jones is bloody good

Carlton beat Collingwood. No one at Carlton gives a s**t about Fremantle, the rivalry exists in our head due to a bunch of peculiarities in umpiring, trades and draft selections.

Carlton are the type of team I want to beat for the first time in a few years in an away final at the mcg, preferably a grand final. Collingwood must finish as low as possible to make the aforementioned possible in the upcoming years.

The floggary on our board from them after they beat us suggests otherwise. Unless their board does that to every team after they win.....

While a Collingwood loss is nice, a Carlton one is better for me and the competition. We can climb higher if they keep losing.

I'd enjoy Collingwood winning more than Carlton winning, or should I say, I'd enjoy seeing Carlton lose more than I'd enjoy a slightly better draft pick.

Especially if we end up with Carlton's pick anyway.

How are we getting Carlton’s pick?

Even after winning 7 of our last 8 games against us Carlton they are still one of only two non expansion, still extant, clubs with a negative winning ratio against us (20-21). Between 2002 and 2018 inclusive it was 18-5 to Freo, including 9 losses in a row, but you didn't see Carlton fans gnashing their teeth on their board about how much they hate us.

Carlton, with their thin list, will soon return to the modern pit of irrelevancy from which they emerged and this little streak will be forgotten, but the pick positions we had in 2024 will be forever.

Exactly, is anyone going to remember in 5 years that Collingwood beat Carlton in round 8 of the 2024 season? Nope, but they will remember Lachie Schultz was traded for Cooper Simpson and pick 7 and laugh for all eternity.

I am definitely coming around to your thinking. Pies losing this week could help derail their season when they look like they could start to build some momentum, a petty rivalry with the blues shouldn’t be our concern.

Jeez we did well out of Lachie Schultz. A first plus Cooper Simpson, and every time Collingwood lose it gets better.

Superb stuff

i didn't realise this. i take back everything i said about shultz. this is entering serong out of hill stuff. i love hill and now i love shultz

Pick 34 & first round pick for Shultz.
That was daylight robbery

 

[Paracleet]

The ideal result is Carlton by a point kicking say 14.3 to Collingwood 10.16, with both teams sustaining multiple season ending injuries.

also f**k lobb. forgot how much he annoyed me. the dogs game reminded me.

They have two father sons coming through and need small forwards with speed
