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?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
