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.

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

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

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?

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
