Quote from Yze's twitter Pretty sure it's his account.

'Tanking creates a losing culture!! The people behind that decision are the ones that should be sacked!!!'

Yep that's him.

Won't be the first we hear about this.

It will only take one insider to spill the beans and watch the turkey shoot that ensues.

Thats why four of the top 5 teams tanked to get priority picks over the past 5-6 years.

Yeah its him. Disappointed it is, I loved Yze but seems to be a pretty ordinary thing to say at a time like this.

Can't believe Adam Yze, who I loved to watch, is kicking us while we're down. Apalling and bitter. Decisions were made for a reason. If I recall, I don't believe he played under bailey, so he would have no clue.

There's a good team in there somewhere, who just needs standards put in place and non-negiotables by a good coaching group.

Bailey was good for the kids and they liked him, but it's time to get very serious now with the next appointment.

It is very interesting that a past player who actually loves the Club is not allowed to vent his feelings or frustrations, a find that a bit rich on here

How the hell is the MFC going to move forward, if after every decision made by the club. X players and X MFC people, lay the boots in for their own selfish reasons. Come back and help the club YOU [censored]!!!!

Yes its disappointing, but its the culture this club breeds. Ego driven and imploding has been a part of the culture for 50 years. Yze was a big culprit of setitng the softness, down hill skiing mentality during the Daniher era.

How did tanking effect Carlton's culture?

Tanking is Carlton's culture!

We would, too - if we could afford them.

Such an apt name for certain people to get their two cents worth in.

Collingwood tanked.

Collingwood tanked.

Collingwood, Carlton, Hawthorn, West Coast in recent times have all tanked to get priority picks or better draft positions, you can add in St Kilda and the Western Bulldogs as well.

As with everything else Collingwood and Carlton always seem to things better than us. Even tanking.

Disappointing that a past player would take this time to make that comment.

Agreed. His timing is deplorable. It'd be nice if past players offered up their support, but if they can't or won't do that, have the decency to keep their flaps closed.

Bitterness has no place within the walls of the New Demons, it's a poisonous & venomous emotion. see ya.

That's a fair call Nasher and at this low ebb there's little point in adding to the farcical state of panic but when things settle down a little I think the long term impacts of tanking on our club's culture need to be addressed. We can't compare ourselves to Carlton or other clubs - we took it to new levels. I asked the question some time ago and was ridiculed.

Collingwood tanked.

Hawthorn tanked.

Everybody tanks.

Ooze ranks with Bruce for serial under performance on a lucrative contract.

Reprehensible.

They left with a sour taste in the mouth did they?

I had a sour taste in the mouth watching them play.

They can say what they like, but that doesn't mean I cannot judge them on it.

Pathetic.

Collingwood tanked.

It seems most of the top clubs have been dipping their toes in the Well...

What a bunch of rubbish - how did we take it to new levels? What we did in 2009 was not worse than what Carlton did in 2007. We did what we had to do in the best interests of the club. For a change we were ruthless and refused to just go along to get along. Anyone who brings this up now or questions it is only to the detriment of the club. It was done, it's what had to be done, now leave it in the past where it belongs.
