They can afford to lie down, Richard and Jeanie Pratt will kick in the rest.
Richard said at the lunch today that they were not tanking. 
Pratt also talked about tree frogs, cows and sheep  ???. I guess when you're loaded you can say anything and people will listen to it lol.

The Blues are officially tanking ....

Quote
While Swann denied actually tanking to win a draft pick, he conceded better-performed players were being overlooked for kids and said the majority of Carlton supporters wanted the side to lose every remaining game this year.

"People ask you about whether you tank or not. If you can't make the eight you have to plan for next year," Swann said on 3AW yesterday.

"By planning for next year that doesn't always necessarily mean you have got your best team out there.

"There are some guys playing at the Northern Bullants who probably, right this minute, are better players than some of the kids that are playing, but from our point of view we need to get as many games as we can into our younger players and fast-track them because that is where our future lies.

Conversely now that Ratten has the job for next season his half time address may be working and the tank is in full swing once again.
