Best decision-maker: Hugh McCluggage (“you know when he has the ball he’s gonna find a teammate”)
Oh god we need this
McCluggae to Ainsworth fap fap
As I've said before. I wouldn't be surprised if the AFL take the number 1 draft pick from us if we finish bottom. They'll make some rule on the run after other clubs moan saying we have 12 players on the sidelines due to us 'cheating' or some ■■■■.I’m sometimes prone to pessimism/skepticism of AFL House but there’s no way this will happen mate. Even they realise they have punished us enough and it’s time to move on.
What is the evidence for this statement? If they had really thought that they would not have accepted CAS’s corrupt verdict as absolutely meekly as they did.
I am nearly 100% certain that after the CAS verdict came out, Gillon stated that the AFL handed down it’s punishment in 2013 and would not punish EFC any further.

I think off the back of a good performance, people are being pretty optimistic that we will win a game. It was interesting when we got in front on Sunday, St Kilda then piled on 2-3 goals pretty quickly. I don’t think we have the cattle to beat even Brisbane or GCS given they’ll be up for beating us.
‘Bullsht! We will not win a premiership if we don’t get pick 1. Pick 2 is sht and might as well trade it for a packet of twisties.’
*Carlton supporters
We will not have pick 1.Start weighing up drafting strategies for Pick 2 and maybe a couple of 2nd rounders.
Totally agree we will not finish last.
You watch Brisbane sack Leppitsch R17 and the customary clear air good performance win come from Brisbane.
Can’t see us beating anybody else including GCS.
We’ll beat fark carlton.
Quite confident club won't entertain the idea of trading first pick unless an obvious huge winTrue but I see a little glimmer of hope trading with the Suns. They will end up with 2 picks inside the top 8 most likely so points wise they may look at something or even throw Prestia into the deal.
No they won’t

Couple? What do you know?
I think we will be a much more attractive destination if we finish with a run of wins. May make trading easier even if we miss out on pick 1.
McCullage or a trade hmmm

But we have to finish last otherwise all those lambasting articles written about us will be rendered useless!

Pretty confident of beating Brisbane!
Bowes is no chance.Where is Brodie? Not a fan?
Oops. Got my two “B name” draftees mixed up. Swap Brodie for Bowes in that (non-academy) talk.
Pick 1 and 37 for Prestia and Pick 8/9.Would add so much to our midfield, Pick 8 can go to Ainsworth, Battle, Marshall, English, Venables, McGrath.
Pick #1 + #37 for #4 and #8 is only 100 points less, which evens out when you consider those picks will be pushed back by academy selections. S you’re valuing Prestia as worth pick #4. I don’t think he is, I think the equivalent of #8 should do it.
So if that deal was occurring, I’d expect us to get #4 and Prestia back.
We could yet beat any or all of Richmond, Brisbane, Gold Coast (here) and Carlton. I expect to finish on 3 to 4 wins
We will not have pick 1.
