Are we tanking now
If a player as good as Dal was dropped from the bottom 3 sides we all on here would be saying they are tanking.
My question now is are we tanking.

And the president said " I did not have sex with that woman"
And our former president said " Football is like golf"

Yes we should tank.
the draft will be corrupt even more so after this one. Last chance to ge a crop of good young kids until about 2012 - 2013.
If we have any faint canche at a flag in the next five years, it is time to put up the shutters, work out who goes, who stays, play the kids, trade for pace, and use the high dps for quick midfielders.
Time to look to 2009.

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>)

Well I think we have started well as this side on paper would be our worst side since the infamous Hawks game last year.joffaboy wrote:Yes we should tank.

No our NAB Cup teams were much worse on paper, but played with more heart and passion than any regular season team.plugger66 wrote:Well I think we have started well as this side on paper would be our worst side since the infamous Hawks game last year.joffaboy wrote:Yes we should tank.

On paper means nothing. Our side "on paper" has looked good all year. On groud it has been crap.

Well for a start you need to win less than 5 games two years in a row for a priority pick.Bernard Shakey wrote:We've won 5 games.
What point would there be to tanking now?
The point is to get as high a pick as possible in the last uncompromised draft before the AFL corrupts it again with the GC ad WS concessions, while playing kids, working out who will be at the club next year, working on possible trades and looking to 2009.
Makes perfect sense.

What you dont play on paper. Well thanks to reminding me I was just going along with what you said. And bringing up practice games means a lot. When are people going to realise they mean nothing, zero,0.joffaboy wrote:No our NAB Cup teams were much worse on paper, but played with more heart and passion than any regular season team.plugger66 wrote:Well I think we have started well as this side on paper would be our worst side since the infamous Hawks game last year.joffaboy wrote:Yes we should tank.

3 debutants in one game - bizarre.plugger66 wrote:Well I think we have started well as this side on paper would be our worst side since the infamous Hawks game last year.joffaboy wrote:Yes we should tank.

If we are not tanking, then Lyon has no clue.
You don't debut 3 players in one week against anyone, unless injuries force your hand, as it did against the Hawks last year.
2 debutants would be my absolute max.
In any case, I'm glad Schneider is out and really look forward to seeing Big Mac and Woody play - not sure about Lock It In's selection.
i am Melbourne Skies - sometimes Blue Skies, Grey Skies, even Partly Cloudy Skies.

true, good point.Bernard Shakey wrote:Perfect game to debut 3 players.
We're playing Freo, don't forget.
Perhaps the AFL will take the points off us for playing too many new players in one match, a new rule to made up on next Tuesday if we win!!!
Also, great to see Milney out of a "cosy" match for him (crap opposition at Telstra Dome!).

for once, i 100% agree with uSpinner wrote:We are a joke of a club.
What a disgrace....Im actually embarrassed to be of the red, black and white for the first time ever.
This is pathetic.
Ross is trying to take all the things out of football that we love seeing

RL is just panicking and trying to save face, and is concerned for his job. 3 debutants? I agree, comedy hour and Im laughing HARD. RL, you re define the meaning of idiot nearly every week. ![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)
