Do you want us to beat Melbourne?
A loss and we are 16th only by percentage.
Would then rely on them winning more games than us for us to finish 17th.
No thanks, lets try and smash those bastard AFL love child's!

Re: Do you want us to beat Melbourne?
It isn't so much about winning and losing at this stage. I want to see the team play the right way with the right intensity eg 80+ tackles every week. The four points mean nothing to us in reality, but I want to see our future imbedded with what I regard as a good, competitive culture.
Re: Do you want us to beat Melbourne?
The way the draft is set up, the AFL will punish us for winning.
Part of me wants to win so that the kids arent surrounded by a losing culture but part of me has already moved onto drafting for next year and beyond, so I wont be shattered if we lose.
Until we have a lottery system with the bottom 9 teams we will always wrestle with these kinds of thoughts.

It depends on who the opposition are.
So you don't care if we lose to Melbourne as long as we put in a good show? I don't think so.
It matters if we lose to a basket case. It matters big time IMO.

Re: Do you want us to beat Melbourne?
Well good to see no tankers on here at the moment.
A few weren't too upset we lost to the Weagles re draft pick order.
Yes I know we were cheated by the umps, but surely most fans at the game wanted us to win??

I am not into tanking... 1 daft pick for 1000+ less members is not worth it.

Re: Do you want us to beat Melbourne?
We dont need to tank.
We take the foot off, blood our youngsters, send players in for surgery early etc.
Difference between what we are doing and tanking.

Lance or James??
There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

IMHO Roo needs a holiday from August, Hayes if he plays on also.
Play kids - find out who is gonna make the grade......maybe rest the captaincy on some new bloods shoulders for a few weeks.......time is good.

I don't think we need ever fall behind Melbourne on the ladder, not in the next 10 years

Re: Do you want us to beat Melbourne?
No point losing to Melbourne, we'd only recover the points in a couple of weeks when we belt Carlton again!

Re: Do you want us to beat Melbourne?
Only one way to play each week and that is to WIN. Anytthing else is abominable.

We're not going to make the finals so we should plan to get Roo and Lenny 100% fit for next year.
(I hope Lenny wants to go 1 more season, the kids need his example)
Put games in the young blokes...draft/trade/recruit well and we could be right in amongst it again in 2014.....
..but having said all that...SMASH Melbourne!!
