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.

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."

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
