"Tanking"

Recommended Posts

Can this thread be merged with the no-BS no-TS one? As everyone seems to have officially gone round the twist.

You're correct Ted. This thread has gone on and on based on speculation. I think I have made a couple of posts but it is all BS untill we get some serious info/charges/responses. I hope it is soon.

From memory, carltank lost 11 in a row; the filth 10 in a row. Reckon their efforts outway ours by some margin.

Did they hold meetings about it too ?

Cheer up BH - you almost revel in the thought that we are the pits. Perhaps understandable in a passionate supporter disappointed for so long.

Not at all. I just don't gild the lily.

But look at the bright side. There would be a huge increased post count of all the footy stupid. They've got a topic that unites them and they have a voice.

Cute.

Actually you say that is jest...but you can bet your last zack they did indeed have little get togethers. Nothing ever like this is left to chance and happenstance. Things are co ordinated to some point.

They planed the games,how not to get too 'good" ; they went over lists, they sent players off to 'hospital"... what you think it all happened by magic ??

Telepathy, they just knew. That's how Ben communicates with the footy stupid, he doesn't want to be seen talking to them.

Forget about CW. She might be a blow hard tonight on FC, but tomorrow's the day. Gill Mc said he would decide this week. Unless he is of the opinion that the week ends on Sunday then we should know tomorrow. Either way, there is no way that this will go to the Commission meeting on Monday.

It's either no case to answer or the AFL will have to drag this on for another month or convene an extraordinary meeting which is unlikely unless they want maximum publicity.

Yeah, wonder boy didn't show much foresight.

Probably never thought a club would tank so badly.

Revisionist!

Straw man argument.

You mean, did Carlton hold football dept meetings during the season?

I'd be bloody surprised if they didn't.

But then again, as you point out, it doesn't really matter what you think. Nor I.

You're not allowed to talk about other sides, sorry mate.

Is that because Cameron Schwab wasn't at either club?

This Ben-Hur is a bit of a [censored] to be honest. I am certainly ok with someone having an opinion but to be so agressive with it and the way in which he/she belittles other posters is pretty immature. Smacks of a classic "keyboard hero" or someone who has little else in life other than getting some weird satisfaction from stirring an emotional pot for a sense of self gratification.

Can I please have my 10 hours of wasted time back? The ones I have spent reading his/hers post which have pretty much the same message for the last 6 months?

Also do you work?

Actually I do.

And I can also spell.

Every day.

Maybe you can do a mass telepathy and impart some of your wisdom on the "unwashed", but I guess that would be no good because if we were all as smart as you there'd be no one left for you to disagree with (notice how nice I was, I didn't say anyone to abuse).

On the other hand if everyone was as smart as you we'd only need one post per thread, make it easier to get through the page and we'd get more work done, plus you wouldn't need to waste you time anymore correcting us.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
