What's "incedent" (???indecent) about that. Please explain what it has to do with tanking.....are those weights tanks?

OK - Let me explain then.....

Firstly - When talking about Carlton and "tanking", does it make sense to you that I'm making a joke at there expense?....and if you can let your imagination run wild a little bit, maybe you would find it as amusing as what I did.....

So I thought it kind of fitting that there training device is designed to slow them down (whilst wearing them), and thus make it a lot easier to lose games deliberately (tanking) and they are the masters of it aren't they?

I can't imagine them winning with those weight harnesses on....Can you? Why keep all of there Tanking tactics so hidden and stealth like...Why not just let it all hang out...WE WANT TO LOSE! It now seams teams are going to go to the extreme in order to tank games....Maybe this is the ultimate solution......Now are you getting it?

Secondly - Carlton left themselves open to this amusement, when they decided to make a joke of there efforts against teams towards the end of last season. Remember?

I'm not sure I understand what you mean about your "incident" comment - Perhaps you should just get over it, and get on with making fun at the other team's stupidity, and how they think that they will be better off with "tanking" generated high draft picks. There lack of honesty will come back to bite them in time....just wait and see.

    The beat goes on.

    Fremantle wins in Pretoria conceding a few late goals to make the Champs of Tanking look respectable.

    It's in their blood now - Forgotten how to win, experts on losing

    I bet they remember when they come to play us though. Judd will set himself for that game no doubt (his last game?)

    Judd has already cottoned on to the Carlton culture. Apparently, his progress from groin surgery is slower than was originally hoped for and there are some question marks about whether the type of surgery was appropriate. Seems that more radical surgery might have been called for but he took a punt on the Sydney surgeon. Could the man be tanking his own recovery?

    :o Latest picture of Judd training...yes he has made the adjustment to the Cartel Football Club culture

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
