Yep and best for the club in the clubs opinion is winning based on how we are selecting sides. I feel for the 7 losers. They always live in hope of something that may never happen.

I wonder who the other 6 who wanted to lose were. Must be a strange feeling being upset after a win.

I think it's been clear that losing to obtain an earlier draft pick is a flawed policy.
Number 5 or 6 can finish up as good as 1 - take 2013 draft would you rather have Bontempeli (4) or Josh Kelly (1)
Look at Jack Watts and consider Montagna at 31, Newnes 41 and Lonie 37
Clever drafting is what we require with whatever number we have.
Wins also means confidence and members and sponsors next year.
Better finances mean a top free agent when the time is right.


One year will be our year

or we go with the odds and get a high pick that will take a player that is highly rated..increases the odds in our favor, no brainer, and at the end of the day it's all a gamble which is why punters search out the best booky at the gallops..

Not at all. We won today. Im happy because I wanted to win. Im worried how upset the 7 losers are though. Its funny that the club seem to want to win as well. Just got a feeling they know whats better than people who voted to lose today.

Hey Fireman, yeah it would be great to draft some great kids (and I hope we do)

But when I'm at the game, wearing red, white and black, I just can't help myself. I really want St Kilda to win.

I'm sorry, I can't help myself, I just love St Kilda winning.

yes Pluggsy..it's all about who knows better , something that you attempt to convince so many on here that you know better.... of your wide wealth of footy knowledge.
well so if those seven who wanted something better for the club make you upset for them then you are out of touch with or denigrating the differing views of your fellow supporters...which appears to be your modus operandi on here full stop :)

Im just using common sense to suggest the club wanted to win. You seem to be using nothing at all apart from what you want. Who is denigrating their views. I actually feel sorry for them because they wouldn't be happy winning when they hoped we would lose. Unfortunately you like some others have to talk fibs and get personal when you don't get what you want. Its a pity Firey.

Anyway I wanted to beat Melbourne and we did. fact. And great for the club and most supporters today. Love it.

If you can show me just one article where the club want to lose games then I will agree with you but at the moment that is just an opinion that I believe is actually wrong based on the excitement from the club and the side they picked.

Because we won and it also seems that they are wrong by thinking losing is best for the club as far as the club is concerned anyway. 2 reasons to feel for them. Even had a little cry for them. So sad.

Personal again. Pity. Im not going by what the views on here are about whats best for the club. Im going by what it seems to me are the clubs views and they keep picking sides that are good enough to win. They aren't playing guys out of position. It seems they think winning is whats best for the club.

And im really happy because we won. hardly sad about it except I feel empathy for those who wanted to lose. Its a bad day for them.

I'm torn about the win.
I'm happy we won but I wanted us to win by over 100 so Roos could get sacked.
Oh well the win was good enough I guess
