"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.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
