We did what the rules permitted art the time.  The is no "legislative" framework which proscribes 'tanking'.  We did it, as others did.  If you want to debate the degree of it, then that is an entirely different argument.  By the way, we were not found guilty of "tanking'.  The result was a bit like having your cake and eating too. 

I know what we were found guilty of and I know what we did. 

I was pro-tank.  

But we were as inept at tanking as everything else.  We were one of the worst run clubs that has ever graced this planet.

What saga ?

I believe the saga might have been the long running so called "tanking" investigation that abruptly concluded with a settlement agreed upon by the parties involved to avoid court action. The investigation lasted several months and was accompanied by a lot of noise and allegations mostly unsubstantiated about the activities of the club.

Supposedly it's not about that. 

Did you read the post I was responding to ?

You wasted your own time with your response.  A response that shed zero light on one of the most disussed topics ever to appear on this forum.  Probably "the" most discussed.

If you'd provided a scintilla of profundity it may have been welcomed and even enhanced your somewhat anonymous reputation.  

Unfortunately you missed the mark.

Thanks for wasting more of your time by reading this response in its entirety.

Anybody else subconsciously adding Daniher after every mention of 'Neale' in this thread?

No.

And what might that be?


Just listened to Cuddles on Grandstand deliver a very good retort to Jakovich. Very level and pragmatic but with a little swipe at the end.

Paraphrased: "Glen Jakovich is one of the greatest players of all time but where players of his era like Worsfold, Sumich and Don Pyke have gone on to coach, Geln has decided to stay in media and hide behind a microphone."

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
