If they take away our draft picks...then we are stuffed.

Demetriou said tanking doesn't exist. I highly doubt the man with an ego the size of his pay packet is going to be forced in to doing any back flips any time soon. It's also going to be impossible to prove anything conclusively.

Keep your pants on buddy, there's not a hope in the world that is going to happen.

Surely nothing will happen! My god if we lose our draft picks then we are actually done. Say goodnight MFC

Posted

Yes. I have to agree. If the AFL strip us of draft picks over this issue, then that is it. We are finished.

Interesting week.

Hope he announces sanctions for Richmond at the same time, Wallace admitted to tanking for Cotchin

Posted

Patrick Smith is losing the argument. Thanks to all the Melbourne people that have rung up and flogged him with logic.

Posted

We've already been punished! We got Scully with that coveted number 1 pick and look where that got us.

Posted

A team of 20 QCs could not prove that we threw games .

"Tanking" is more of an issue in Sports betting.

Picking a development side ahead of a best side available is entirely different to tanking .

This is merely a Melbourne bashing exercise by the press .They cant get enough of it .

Bring it on [censored].

I'm comfortable with us copping our fair whack as long as Carlton do to. Anything we did to lose, they did better.

Exactly right, if we get any form of punishment then it sets a precedent for Carlton and even Richmond to an extent.

Snowball effect

There is no way this can be proved, and if there ever were sanctions, there would be a lot of other teams going down with us.

Brock went from the apprentices to the masters.

He played in the 'Kreuzer Cup' match, Round 22, 2007 and would have seen the Blues' methods. If he's got a real concern about the ethics of tanking, he would have chosen not to go to Carlton.

The interesting thing would be if DB names names ........goodbye Schwabb Connolly and the Board. Meanwhile McLardy is talking about Cloke!! Yesterday presumably, but this bloke is out of his depth

And don't forget Collingwood. Picking up a priority pick in 2005 wasn't an accident.

There won't be any sanctions. It would open up a can of worms that the AFL can ill afford to do.

Carlton won the grand slam of tanking in 2007 when it lost its last eleven games including the Kreuzer Cup when Travis Johnstone was allowed to roam around the ground unchecked to collect 42 possessions.

Collingwood won their priority picks in 2005 in unusual circumstances when they begam "list managing" players well before the end of the season.

What about the Bulldogs who dropped Matthew Croft for the last game of a season after he kicked five goals. That's not tanking?

Let them investigate those first.

I was informed by a then Carlton board member about three weeks before that game that the Blues had Judd in the bag and that they needed to give WCE the best possible trade to swing the deal. With a grin he then said that Fevola wouldn't be playing again that season and he didn't.

Croft, didn't he sue for that, he had a kicker in his contract for more $ or another season if he played X amount of games that seaon?

Carlton tanked: Liberatore

As someone said earlier, Jim Stynes is the elephant in the room.

Now that would be an explosive allegation.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
