Essendon next week loss leaves us on 3.5
Melbourne the week after must lose. Do the tank properly not for a half like today.
Sydney will finish 11th regardless if they have 6 wins or 8 or 9. Is Mickey O's 300th and they will treat it respect. Loss for us.
Skunks. Loss
Hawks loss
West Coast. We'll just call their bluff when they put their stars in cotton wool. With a four hour plane trip in mind just select some kids as a reward for being on the list and leave behind in Melbourne our so called stars and give the Eagles a 7 goal start.

The wooden spoon we had to have.

If you think the boys aren't going to try to win you're kidding yourself.

They were shattered in the room after the draw.

They were shattered after round 1 as well. ::)

Its all a means to an end TA.

The tank worked perfectly for 45 minutes.

The club will be better off. It's like quitting smoking after you have been on the darts for nearly 20 years. At start its difficult and you say what is the point when you have headaches and withdrawal symptoms, but after a while you start to see the benefits of it. Suck it up boys we will succeed in the long run.

Im starting to think that some fans have become so disillusioned that every loss(i know today was a draw) is put down to tanking so as to ease the pain!

We aren't tanking.

The board can't expect Rawlings to tank and at the same time put his best foot forward for the coaching gig. I thought the whole point of picking Rawlings was because he didn't have a chance at the permanent gig  ::) Well if that is the case and we want to tank, someone better accelerate the process and tell Rawlings he either isn't on the shortlist or that he has the job next year.

This is different to Ratten who didn't have 15 other blokes up against him. He was always the favoured candidate.
