    Melbourne v Sydney Swans

    in Melbourne Demons

    Absolutely right HT! If this was Round 2, or if we were top 4, these guys still wouldn't be able to play.

    There's a tendency to see tanking in everything when it's not there. Is dropping Robbo tanking? Or would it be tanking if we left him in the team? If you want to see evidence that we're tanking, you can see it anywhere you look.

    As others have said, Green has an injury that has the potential to cause lots of trouble, and which is notoriously hard to detect in its early stages. He needs to be given every opportunity for this damn thing to heal, even on 198 games. Same principle applies to Grimes. And Brock apparently injured his knee against Port and played injured last week, and we all saw how he played - so did we tank last week by playing him injured against the best midfield in the comp???

    You guys who want to see tanking everywhere, you're going to have a really enjoyable few weeks, because you'll see it everywhere no matter what happens. Have a great time. Those of you like me who want Scully just as badly but who want us to get him without selling our soul, rest assured that we haven't sold our soul (not yet, anyway). My hope is that whatever happens, in 2010 and beyond we'll be so far up the ladder that there will be no more tanking threads.

    There's a huge difference between tanking and a dark cloud that happens to have a very clear silver lining!

    Well put Akum..well put

    The PP I think was introduced in 2007 and the tanking issue has raised its ugly head ever since. I think 3 poss solutions

    1 Mid season Pick... teams are not going to tank from round 1 and unlikely to have a winning streak straight after

    2 Delete PP altogether

    3 A PP lottery between the bottom 4 teams

    That Injury list is getting bigger, with 6 weeks to go we have lost

    Out for the year

    Meesen, Garland, Bell, Strauss, Blease, Maric, Healey,Green(maybe)

    Mclean should be put in the paddock until preseason

    Aussie same as Mclean

    others

    Grimes 2-3 weeks

    Jamar 3-4weeks

    Watts 2 weeks

    Wheatley 3 weeks

    Sylvia 1 week Susp.

    Thats 15 players unavailable this week and of those 15, 7 would be in our starting 18. 10 players that are or should be out for the year that almost a 25% of our list.

    Your right this is starting to get a little big, no ones been noticing cause everyone wants to lose, but it is a little worrying a lot of breaks.

    if there is any problem and I mean ANY problem with Grimes, do not play him, he is the most important player we have.

    He has future captain written all over him and I don't want him being another ang christou, garry lyon (lingering back problems) because they play him for the rest of the year.

    Totally agree with this...Grimes has been a revelation in a backline that has.. well..had issues for a while. There is no point in playing anyone with back related soreness let alone a history of it..he is too important even for Supercoaches!! (I have Cheney on my bench too)

    What to do after we win our 4th?

    I just feel that there are no guarantees that no 1 and 2 draft picks are the best players. Yes ive seen Scully play and sure he looks great but so did a lot of other kids. Whos to say he will be the best of the bunch and not number 7 or 77....Sure a pp is compensation for a few less than ordinary years but none of us have a crystal ball and its not the end of the world.....

    Just got back from training. Spoke with Adam M who said that he will be operated on next week. Hurt the shoulder a couple of weeks ago playing for Casey. Didn't seem too concerned and can't wait to start playing again. Strauss was operated on this week.

    So am I to understand he WILL play again this season??
