hawks aren’t tanking. they just traded their best mids so they will clearly finish last. Mitchell being a club champ will get him 2+ years to prove himself so he can finish last. then win 8 games next year and media will congratulate them. much smarter than winning 6-8 games this year and then finals would be expected 

You make it sound so easy. 
They are Tanking by choice and should be called out for it

    You know what's horrible about Essendon winning. The arrogant fans are gloating, brad Scott is smiling & they're sitting 3rd on the ladder

    It’s the war on Rugby League 

    Tasmania have nothing to do with it. 
    They already watch the game

    My understanding is that the AFL wanted two teams in the Rugby states so that each weekend there is an actual game that takes place in the cities  (taking the assumption that Gold Coast is almost a suburb of Brisbane) Same logic can also apply to SA and WA. 
    I used to wonder why GWS was say not established / relocated to Canberra.  (which I still think would make sense to me).
    But on the other hand if / when a team is established in Tasmania, this would be in conflict with strategy of ‘a game every week’!
    In other words, I have no idea🙃

    What the hell do you think tanking is?

    They have deliberately made their team awful to get draft picks.

    They are tanking harder than they did in 03/04.

    I'm uncomfortable with undefeated teams. Especially Essendon if they go 3-0 next week.

    That is exactly what it is

    Games are on the East Coast of the Country every weekend = Advertising Revenue 

    They are making a lot of money…

    GWS starting to go into a downward spiral. 12-16 is probably the best they can hope for.

    You wonder if the AFL will give them assistance in the draft etc. I assume they have access to NSW players on the same basis as the Swans

    it is easy. you don’t need to educate players to lose or change players into weird positions 

    trade out good senior players and teach the kids to win. not tanking. i wish we did it the right way but we move on

    They will quite possibly be 4 zip when we play them in Adelaide. Teams like Essendon, when they get on a roll, will be hard to stop.

    pretty simple. it’s deliberately playing to lose. or coaching making moves to throw the game. 

    trading out senior guys for draft picks is not tanking. or do you think it is?

    I really have to repeat my earlier question but pose it to GWS. Why are we sticking with this experiment?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      Who would have imagined, when the season kicked off early last month, that Melbourne would emerge from the opening six weeks with wins over both Queensland powerhouses? At the time, Gold Coast and Brisbane were the competition’s early pace-setters, the flavours of the month, and the prospect of the Demons toppling both within the course of a fortnight seemed remote. Yet here they are, banking those scalps alongside home victories over two traditional Victorian rivals and building a quietly impressive resume.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      Before Sunday, the last time the Brisbane Lions had walked onto the turf of the Melbourne Cricket Ground, they celebrated the pinnacle of the sport - an AFL premiership secured in emphatic fashion for the second consecutive year.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      From the outset, the Casey Demons lacked any spring in their steps. They were out-hustled and out-bustled and finally outplayed by the Brisbane Lions by 38 points on their home turf in perfect conditions at Casey Fields.
