[Don]

Whilst the battle for the 8 and top 4 are warming up, below a battle rages just as intense for the Golden Tankard (GT) or Draft Pick Trophy herein known as (DPT), used to be the wooden spoon.

The Dons ( who were going well) have killed any chance of getting the DPT now after a very promising run failed against WC, Carlton, and Freeo. WC and Freeo clearly outpointed the Dons to cleverly eliminate them as a contender for the DPT.

So the battle has become 3, and now with the Ds getting win two, all 3 bottom teams are pretty equal chance to win. It will be an excellent fight for a valuable prize, my tip is WC by % after their excellent loss to Geelong a few weeks back, that performance convinced me of their ability to secure the DPT in 08.
