Do we’ve do the tank?
Perfect scenario is if both us and the Bears win.
Beating Norf would be nice but if Brissie lose, we’ll get pick 5 rather than pick 4 and will probably miss out on the mid we want.
So, do we do the tank?
Yes or no?

Tank away
A win does us no good now
1. Helps coach - no
2. Lose pick position - if we lose out on a gun mid (Rankine) just so we can say we beat Nth in nothing game I’ll spew up!
I think we’ll win by 5 goals knowing St Kilda

Re: Do we’ve do the tank?
Fortunately the Brisbane game is on first, so we'll know the exact scenario.
If Brisbane wins, we should try to win.
If Brisbane loses, we should try to win.

Re: Do we’ve do the tank?
There's tanking (trying to lose) and then picking a side that doesn't really give you a meaningful chance to win.
From mid-season - all I've wanted was to see our kids get as many games into them as possible. Instead, we've had The Dribbler constantly select Newnes, Weller, Gilbert and Lonie. Even last weekend he chose to play Newnes over Freeman and Gilbert over White. I mean FFS - he hasn't been trying to improve his lot all year by blooding a few kids so, in the end we've ended up with another wasted year of non-development.
If he's trying to limit the damage against North - he'll probably revert to type and pick the plonkers again. Or he might just play all the kids and let them free.
Sadly doing the former will probably guarantee pick 4

Re: Do we’ve do the tank?
is there such a tactic as Panzerfaust? Panzerfauat was a very effective German anti tank weapon that anyone could use. If North did it to us, they would basically prevent us from losing by shrewd switches of players. Would there be any incentive for them?
You're quite brilliant Shane, yeah..terrific!

Re: Do we’ve do the tank?
Bring in all the kids Coffield, Clark, Phillips and Freeman in and let them finish off the year in the ones.
We’ve seen enough of likes of Gilbert, Newnes, Armitage and Geary will probably miss with concussion.
I would love to win, but at the end of the day it doesn’t really matter.
