Pies ponder topend tank

******COLLINGWOOD coach Mick Malthouse says the potential Round 24 blockbuster between Geelong and the Magpies could end up a total fizzer. Malthouse said yesterday he was not concerned about finishing on top of the ladder and more interested in ensuring his players were fit and rested for finals.

He suspected Geelong might enter the game with a similar philosophy, which means a much-anticipated contest may end up a stalemate between sides well below full strength.******

So Micky...its all very well if youre on top of things to MANAGE your team selction for best club benefit...but not if you're on the bottom ??

Such sanctimonious hypocrisy !!!! Dont do as I do......etc..etc.

    I didn't realise MM had said anything about tanking...

    I do know that in 2005, the Magpies did all they could to not win.

    Completely different. Why would you risk somebody that it's 100% the week before the finals, when you are already locked into position??

    Strange thread

    Freo did the same thing against Hawthorn, copped a flogging and nobody cares.

    A premeditated excuse for their Round 24 loss to Geelong.

    I disagree completely. Both circumstances youre manioulating a team sheet to benefit an outcome. Yes the outcomes are chalk and cheese but they are both different to what you might expect with full sheets.

    Difference being collingwood won't be trying to lose just not doing all they can to win. Big big difference. i

    semantics surely.... Bet the bookies would think so

    But he's suggesting he may plan to not go for the Win at all costs. But to protect his interests his priority.

    The only outcome you they will benefit will be that they don't injure players that are assured of a game next week. They could still very well win the game.

    This place is becoming less and less logical by the day, maybe we all can't wait for the season to end. We are rubbish and the pain is getting to people's heads. It's like reading the comments on the MFC facebook page - just complete rubbish 95% of the time.

    BRING ON OCTOBER (and a holiday outside the country for Grand Final day!)

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
