How long were we in the top four for the last two seasons? In 2021 it was for the whole season. Not sure about last season but we could have been in the four for all if not most of it.

We were consecutively in the top 4 from 2021 until... this weekend lol

Of course it is. Otherwise tanking doesn’t exist. Players want to win. Coaches putting players in different roles is the benign tactic of tanking.

No one deliberately plays to lose,m; losses are manufactured through savage list management, ‘injuries’, and playing kids ahead of their time.

so why not accuse them of tanking in December last year? the results this year were obvious 

trading players out for a re build is not tanking

47 consecutive Rounds. Ended this weekend. Some late goals from GWS saved our run of 48 consecutive Rounds in the Top 8.

It is when you do it savagely over 1-2 seasons

It most certainly is. They are throwing kids to the slaughter and hoping a few survive 

As far as i am concerned it is way worse than what the MFC did. Our list was just bad

cmon mate. a club is allowed to trade out older players if they reckon they are up for a rebuild.

so the afl should crack down on clubs trading out senior players??

Sure. But it must be done carefully. So enough experience is left, so the Babies learn properly 

Hawthorn have not done that at all

If a large chunk of Senior players are all traded in one year, ABSOLUTELY. 

 

 

Strewth,  how bad is GWS? Rest Coast kicked 100 points?

So much wasted talent. Atleast they retire rich.

Top 8 is farcical. Not interested. It wont look anything like that  in several weeks.

So Saints tanked when they got rid of Dal Santo, Goddard, McEvoy?

Well to be fair, GWS was missing a bunch of best 22 players and was playing across the country after playing in 34+ degree heat last week.

Still thought they'd win because West Coast are a rabble, but I can see how it went down.

Who was still on their list when those 3 retired?

Hawthorn have no senior experience left except Sicily

They have cut way to hard. 
 

It’s like a business, if all the experienced employees leave at once, then that Business is doomed, the young newbie’s will not prosper. 
Hawthorn have done this intentionally and it is a disgrace.

The new recruits have no chance, we should know, the difference being we didn’t have any decent experienced players. Hawthorn did, and they sold them all

GWS played last week in a "brutal" game. Was 36 degrees and hard running. They lost two mids and always looked like this was going to be a hard road trip

Match report on Eagles v Giants.
 

Jayden Hunt was recruited for his speed, and on Sunday he showed his value with 23 disposals, two goals, and 566m gained.

Shouldn’t we all be happy they’ve gone abut their rebuild like this? Much more likely to fail.

their list management has been bad for awhile. They tried the top up strategy but it failed miserably. Brought in players like Scully and Patton that didn’t work. The only hope they have is to get top end talent into the club.

Are you trying to say we missed Hunt on the weekend?

If so, I don’t think you’re really focusing on the true reason we lost, which wasn’t speed.

Freo should never have been in that position to begin with. Ffs it was their home game against a two time wooden spooner who literally hasn’t won at that venue in 198 years. 

Looks like we may have found the two teams that statistically fail to make the 8 the next season.  Dogs and Dockers.  Dogs I get but Freo should be better on 2022.

The average is 2.7 teams, so maybe the cats?  Can only dream.

Not disputing any of that. But they will ruin AFL careers of kids with potential and they should be called out for that

Or us. No guarantee we make the 8 if we keep copping injuries and suspension to key players.

It's pretty crazy though isn't it, the only players with over 150 games experience on the list are Breust and Wingard.

Just 4 others with over 100 games.

  • 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.
