Tigers don't tank: Deledio
By Paul Daffey
Tue 31 Jul, 2012


RICHMOND midfielder Brett Deledio says the Tigers had no inkling either way whether Melbourne was tanking during the match late in 2009 in which Jordan McMahon kicked a goal after the siren to win the match for the Tigers.

Deledio was responding to questions at a press conference about Carlton midfielder Brock McLean's claims on television on Monday night that his former club, Melbourne, had thrown matches in 2009.

Thank god we don't otherwise our culture would be ten times worse than it is now. Just look at Melbourne.

Brock Mclean leaves one club for tanking then goes to another team that did the same thing??? And you would have to be blind Freddie not to see that!

Always wondered about the final kick-in from a point by Bowden, Coach.  He kicked it straight down the throat of an Aints player and then calmly watched it go back over his head for a goal ...... (or something similar if my memory is correct).

I thought then that it was a deliberate mistake to ensure that we lost the game .....

When he went to the Filth they were tankers from 04-07 but they were not tanking in 2010.

Whilst both the Dees and the Cheats are sorry footy clubs lets not let the facts get in the way of a good story fellas. :lol :rollin :lol
