West Coast tankers..
« on: August 08, 2009, 04:45:33 PM »
Looking like they're starting to play footy again now they've lost the priority pick...

5 points up 26th min mark of 4th qtr.

Good for us as they jump above us on the ladder. We now have pick 5. If North flog the Dees tomorrow we could end up with pick 4 = one of Trengove or Butcher  :thumbsup. Melbourne taking Scully and either Trengove/Butcher and Freo taking a West Aussie (Morabito or Lucas).

So regardless if they scrap the priority pick the tanking issue is still evident as if this was round 22 you'd have a number of members wanting a loss to ensure pick 5 instead of 6.

It just needs to be a lottery.

It will never happen but how much enjoyment would we have gotten last week winning avoiding possible relagation to the VFL. it'd be like winning a Grand Final, best celebration I'd have had to do with football for the last 25 years.

Go Tigers!

You cant force players to tank. You can try and orchestrate but you cant tell players to lose. WCE lost there priority last week, today they did us a massive favor by moving up the ladder. Hopefully we continue to get a better draft position as the seasons reaches its end.

I'd kill to see our young group beat a top 4 side on the road. Stuff the picks.

Try to convince me that was a meaningless win for West Coast.

 :thumbsup :thumbsup

well done that is exactly right.

They are the type of wins that you want for your footy club. stuff the picks indeed but sadly the wins that we only seem to win are against the lower end of the comp and unless that changes we will find ourself near the bottom for the next 5 years.

Tanking is for wankers. West Coast proved that today

At least there a few on here who have brains :clapping
RFC should try and pick a player in the draft at say pick 38 or whatever who they can develop into a great footballer, even better , try and hide someone in the draft.  eg someone from the back sticks of Mildura etc etc
I have heard so much crap on tanking on here, the more I read, the more I think that most of the nuffers  on here have little idea. ::)

Butcher is no good anyway.

Scully (Melb)
Butcher (Melb)
Morabitto (Freo) Will pick a WA boy
Lucas (West Coast) Will keep a WA boy.

So its down to North and us who gets Trengrove. If North do then we have the field. Gysberts will be around, as well as Panos.

Go Tigers!

My thoughts exactly, you are spot on but dont be surprised if Sydney play below par.
