To be honest I think I am sick to death of AGM's. I learn nothing.

Stumbled across this article on modern day journalism ... it's from the States but it's quite relevent (even though it might contravene the rules of this thread with the references to B$ !)

Journalisms New Mantra is Get It Now, Fix It Later

Journalists have always placed a priority on breaking news before the competition, but we had this saying: Get it first, but first, get it right.

The thinking goes like this: The public demands to know whats happening as its happening. Therefore, we, the information providers, must tell them what were finding out as were finding it out. If what were finding out turns out to be mistaken or misleading, well, we can always instantly correct it.

In other words, get it first, then fix it if its wrong.

Reminiscent of Caro Wilson's amazing revelations on tanking that had to have certain dates amended after publication for correctness. She even had us "tanking" in 2010.

Didn't we?

Didn't we?

IIRC, we were still an outside chance of making the finals with about three rounds to go but since the meaning of the word "tanking" is constantly being transformed, widened, embellished, twisted and contorted, I guess you're 100% right.

I remember the game against Hawthorn in Round 20 when Aaron Davey went down with a foot injury and we lost by only 21 points despite being murdered by the umpires. Yep, we tanked that so we couldn't make finals.

Thought so.

Next time we win by 10 goals, Caro will say that we tanked by not winining by 15 ... :blink: I anticipate that in 2015 the AFL will open a year-long investigation into the enormous tank that was our 2012 season, and they will conclude something like "The Dees tanked beautifully for the first nine rounds, apart from a slight wobble against St Kilda, but then really screwed things up against Essendon. After that, things went to plan, even when being out-tanked twice by GWS who are by definition above suspicion" B)

 

you could always take up religion redleg.....lots happening....even lots of legal work...lol

I have already taken up religion, I have been praying for a good outcome in the tanking saga.

There's a plum job coming up in Rome.

I went out with a lovely Italian girl when i was younger and learned some italian. Maybe I should apply, I could hack people kissing my feet.

what about kissing your ring. surely you would draw a line at that


I must confess. It does become a habit.

Nun of that.

Wears the soap.

Wash your mouth out.

Suggestion. Innuendo. Smut. It doesn't take long for a conversation to go downhill on this site. I think this is what the Good Samaritans referred to as an "occasion of sin". I'm out of here before, as a penance, I have to give myself a good flogging

Some on here would argue that was merely a fait accompli.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
