Hopefully we can win the next couple and kill off the debate. Presumably, like someone losing his or her virginity, if this happens the tankers will get on with life and enjoy the thrills ahead ?????

AGRO - a while ago you said that you never mentioned tanking, so what are you saying - you don't want us to throw games, you just want us to lose?

I hope AGRO jnr doesn't feel the same way as his dad, would be sad times if things have gotten that bad

The fact that all my mates who barrack for Richmond are openly cheering for us in the hope we win more than 4 games says it all!!!

Having said that, if we are to win more than 4 games (surely we will now) i'd rather it be sooner rather than later so that i can start cherring on the Blues 100%!!!

Looking at the draw, our next 10 games are all very loseable.

Your mates who barrack for Richmond (I note you didn't say support) are, quite frankly, idiots. They're trying to divert any attention away from the disgrace that the Tigers are.

Our next 10 are as winnable as they are loseable.

Gav, your mates chearing for the blues says nothing. I am cheering for every team that may get a PP. Who wants another team to get an extra pick?

It's time to move on from this bs topic. We are going to win more than 5 games like I said 4 weeks ago. The question is, do you want to win 5 games and have pick 3 or do we want to win 7-9 games and have pick 3, 4 or 5? Pretty simple decision.

If people could clearly read what has been written there would be no confusion - however apparently the only people who cant read things carefully are on this side of the Pacific.

Nah, they'll complain that they didn't love him/her; that it didn't mean anything; that he/she never calls; and they'll end up a blubbering mess watching Meg Ryan movies screaming "I'll have what they're having" for evermore...

It is more than evident that picks 4,5,6 & 7 are ussually as good as picks 1, 2, & 3.

Move on...there is nothing to see here....

I hope the Blues win every game they play...thats why I dont have any fingernails left today...

Go Blues...

So having 2 picks from Picks 1 to 7 is as good/better than/worse than having 1 pick from Picks 1 to 7, in what way?? :wink:

OK...I am wrong...2 picks would be better...but dont we have to win only 4 games....very unlikely...but you must admit that picks 1-7 are ussually quite similar.

Sometimes pick 45-70 turn out better than the "Goddards and the Wells".

But, admitted 2 is better than 1...obviously :oops:

I am forever grateful that Shane O'Sullivan was able to make strawberry jam out of shit in that draft by plucking Simpson and Fisher. How good would it have been to pick up Goddard, Wells, Simpson and Fisher in the one draft.

I think I have said elsewhere that I reckon once their careers are over - it will be an interesting measurement of where these 4 players careers finished. :wink:
