I agree, but not in the way that I think you mean it. He's done much too good a job at the difficult and painstaking task of player development over the past two seasons to want to throw it away with the most ham-fisted and incompetent attempt at tanking imaginable.

If this is what you pro-tankers mean by what we need to do to tank, you're kidding yourselves. If we're trying to tank, I can't believe we'd be so ridiculously lousy at it.

I would say that every one of those "outs" would have to be genuine (and therefore we're not tanking), because if they aren't genuine, we're in deep skite.

You have made some very big statements here Akum, I hope you can back them up, as you are insinuating that i am an idiot. That i am not.

And Niether i believe is our coach.

Prediction: Sydney by 7 points, after leading at quarter-time by 6 goals, the Demons win the last three quarters but fall just short.

Would make for an interesting, heart-in-the-mouth type encounter to say the least.

Sydney looked absolutely shot by the end of the game at Etihad last week. I wouldn't touch them with a 10 foot pole even against a weakened Melbourne.

I'm sorry was this thread bumped from 2006? Or when Woey was playing?

Get real - we're crap and the quicker everyone realises that the easier the next three weeks will be...

I'm sorry was this thread bumped from 2006?

No way. Swans made the granny that year. They would slaughter us today.

2 inclusions for the game featuring Melbourne, Bail and Pyke.

Great Stuff.

When life gives you lemons, just say [censored] the lemons and bail

no team is tanking we will beat swans eagles will beat fremantle fremantle are so bad that they cant win another game Sydney are finished as a side they are at the same stage as dees where in 2007, too many old frats at the club and a few injuries. they have to play all of there youngster to see who can cut it or not there best 5 player are all over 30 and few of then are finished already. so there is no way a team will get a first round pp, only a second pp which is fremantle, we will beat swans and fremantle at the mcg, the dees don't tank Carlton do hawks do but the dees are to stupid to tank we had our chance in 2007 to make sure we would win less then 4 games but we beat the dogs and Carlton in the second half of that year, and won 5 games we should of got the pp last year, we would of got watts and nat, but not to be . we can build momentum for next year, win 3 or 4 more games and charge up the ladder next year, there are more ways to improve the list then just high drift picks , players on your list can always get better we have 6 player who can step up bigg time next year, the wizard,bate,Dunn,watt,garland,grimes,Jones.
