Saints - "do we win or lose?" poll

I think some people under-estimate the power of this. Having the number 1 PSD puts the pressure on other clubs trying to deal with you. I think losing this priority is probably more important than your pick2 going to pick3 in the priority draft. Saying that, I still cant see the players tanking. On a high after last week they will be trying their utmost. It's up to the coaching panel to do their best to lose. Losing this game against the Saints is not a foregone conclusion.Mikee said:

Agree about the PSD part, not the tanking part though.
Hopefully the PSD notches us someone better than Knobel this time, and someone even better trade time.
It's really a case of the heart (pride) versus the brain(logic) isn't it. Im torn between wanting to win and finish the finals hope of the second team in two weeks, winning 3 of the last four, and getting off the bottom of the ladder against getting 1st (or 2nd) pick in the draft, a priority pick at around 19 and 1st go at the PSD.
The result of this game will be irrelevant in 5 years , so I'd like to be celebrating the 100 game milestone
of the player we pick up with the priority pick. In reality I don't think we have much choice anyway.

totally disagree. this yrs draft is similar to most drafts and yes its weaker than last yrs but last yrs was an exception to the rule.people are already talking about kids like vespremi millar sullivan being around our priority pick. there are at least wa kids i would like to see in a tiger jumper most highly rated who will be around pick 20. drafts every yr are turning out more and more afl players the draft is becoming more and more precise. and madcow yes 03 wasnt a great draft it is one at the other end of the scale when compared to last yr but have a look at how deep it went sheesh we picked up hatigan tuck and raines in the seventies that yr a pretty good effort if your not expecting complete champions with such late picks. for me everydraft is treated as my clubs lifeblood every top 20 pick is very valuable the players are there its up to the recruiters to get it right. as ive said before until we as a club start treating picks in the first three rounds as very valuable we will always struggle.CptJonno2Madcow2005 said:
Win a Premiership , and the angst of a wooden spoon 5 yrs earlier will be barely remembered. I'm not saying theGoodOne said:
priority pick player will single handedly win us a Grand Final,(then again you never know
) but it can't hurt having 3 picks inside the top 20 instead of 2.
Have a feeling it wont matter....we have been the Saints' b*tch for a few years now and that is likely to continue. Watch for Gehrig to have is annual day out against us, and their midfield to run riot.
Would like 3 picks in top 20. I just hope we use them better than the last time we had that many.........
