Harley Reid. If it was MFC in their position it would be investigated.

What?

Only way Simpson still has a job is if they all agreed to tank

 

They are Soooo bad they dont have to tank, they are just abysmally woeful!

Given they won last year towards the end of the season, and would not have finished last unless North subsequently won, I don't think there is much to investigate.

Agree.

They beat the Dogs in round 23 when they were $16-1 to win the game, after seemingly having the spoon in the bag.

It’s the polar opposite to tanking.

No, just no.

Hawks are worse

It’s a three way draw, Roos, Hawks and Eagles who will receive the most handouts from AFL.

Really? A team managing the load on one of the most promising first year players to have entered the system in years?

Clarry wasnt managed in his first year! Seemed to work out well for him!😇

To be honest, I took the original post to be about WCE tanking last year to GET Harley Reid.

Not sure why this post has copped the laughs and criticism it has. It’s a fair comment and question. 100% the “managing” of Harley Reid is suspicious.

Why ET? As in the WCE don't want to win too many games in 2024 ?

They’re a big club, they can survive another down year for the purpose of gaining advantageous draft picks. I just think questioning if they’re tanking (or not) is a fair question.

Let's face it, he didn't play very well last match anyway 😜

There is no such thing as tanking any more. 

1. The league has some magic formula to give clubs access to additional players/picks. The old system which encouraged tanking under a formula previously used no longer exists. 

2. Finishing bottom gets you the first pick, and then pick 19...one pick  after the premier for that year, and so forth.  So all you finish up with is one player/pick more than the premiers.  Look how much it has done for WCE this year. That is not how you build a list.

3. WCE played finals in 2020.  There is no way the league will give them any access to extra picks. As hard it is to believe, they haven't been bad enough for long enough yet. 

4. WCE were offered 3 first round picks for pick 1.  They refused, just so they could get 5 minutes of coverage with Reid when they selected him.  With Darling, McGovern, Gaff all gone in the near future, they will need more than 1 player to replace them.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • 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.
