"From 1990 to 1999 West Coast finished 3,1,4,6,1,5,4,5,7,5
Then in 2000 they were 13th then in 2001 they were 14th
From 2002 to 2007 they went 8,7,7,2,1,3"
So if we follow an Eagles (tm) 'Tanking' Campaign style we get a decent finals appearance in 2015 and a premiership in 2017 provided we are blessed with a series of good draft results like Kerr, Humm, Judd, Seaby etc
hmmm there are so many things wrong with that i don't know where to start - maybe with the obvious chance factor of all our High draft picks from this being duds (Aaron Fiora anyone?) or maybe with the time factor. How many fans will hang around for the better part of another decade waiting for success? Then of course there is the possibility that draft concession rules get changed halfway through 'The Great Tank' and we are left with a demoralised, loss-accepting culture, half the *star* drafts we wanted and no plans for pulling ourselves out of the crap.
I'm yet to hear one positive, thoughtful long term plan that involves tanking the rest of our season away apart from getting a high draft pick who *may* be a champion later on.
