We tanked

[Redleg 40,811]

Could the Mod who changed the title to the thread and all those who think this was directed at tanking on the field, please look again at the opening post and understand that I was making a joke ( probably not a good one ) that we actually tanked in our drafting, not our playing. To the Mod, you have changed the meaning of my thread.

I wondered about that...

Maybe (in the draft) would be better...

I have changed it as you suggested.

I don't know why I'm bothering...

You shouldn't have. From the same dolt on BigFooty:

I'm going to ignore the irony of him going to Carlton, but...

Losing creates a toxic culture. Melbourne Football Club should compensate fans, give back its draft picks and admit that it was LOSING on purpose.

Completely deserved to lose Scully. I hate being part of things that lose. It’s an insipid, amateur culture.

What a disgrace. The fact that Melbourne supporters are still trying to stick up for this club is beyond me...

Are there any rational thinkers among Dees fans? Can we get some blunt honesty here, please? I feel like I'm alone in being absolutely livid at the club.

I'm still reeling from Geelong 186.

London to a brick they would be the first to cry about us being a soft club if we hadn't have tanked & were still [censored]. Haters gonna hate. Whingers gonna whinge.

AFL now to interview Brock re allegations

Thanks Brock - bitter twisted [censored], who left us to go to the club that made an art form of tanking.

I see this all as playing out to a Vlad agenda to ensure that MFC do NOT get the compensation picks they were promised for the $cully defection, and probably have to sell their best picks or let Viney go to GW$.

Watch it play out over the next few weeks. I will be very surprised if we were not penalised, or read it another way, GW$ and GC advantaged to ensure their advancement.

The only thing that makes me doubt this in any way is that Vlad would have to admit he was wrong when he said tanking didn't happen.

But it still comes down to Jordan McMahon kicking that difficult goal after the siren - it wasnt Bailey, McLardey, Stynes, Cameron or anyone esle who kicked it. It would have all come undone, assuming it was planned and I for one still have some doubts, had he missed.

PS: Mods - can the duplicate, or triplicate, tanking threads be merged?

That's the thing, JC!

I can remember BH (Hannabal) at the time wonder whether we have the stones to go through with it, and I knew we would, we nearly effed it all up but we did what we had to do and we did it more surreptiously than any other club that has done it.

Whingers gonna whinge.
