Round 17 - Other Matches

This Freo vs WCE game is the biggest tankfest I've ever seen. Questionable tactics everywhere, good players being benched, loose players aloud to run free. etc. :rofl

MEMO FROM THE OFFICE OF ANDREW DEMETRIOU...

This game is not an exhibit of tanking. I have it on good authority that both sides really really really want to win. Just ask KB.

END OF TRANSMISSION...
 
Let me tell you all now that this match Freo V Eagles is an embarrassment, neither team REALLY wants to win, no REAL pressure, no real manning up...
 
Freo will win this. I hope West Coast somehow manage to get a win before round 22 so that we don't have to out-tank them.

You were right. God damn I hope WCE win a game before round 22. I am not hopeful.
 
All going to plan. Melbourne will beat Fremantle and the Tigers. The Tigers drop to West Coast. Both West Coast and Melbourne miss out on PP at the top of the draft, Tigers finish last with first pick and a PP at 17. End up with 1,17 and 18. Easy. Bring back Wallace. We can do it.
 
I can see us beating the Weagles by10 goals in the final game to hand them the round 1 PP and denying us ours.

We should have lost to the Weagles last time and not drawn with the Kangas and it all would have been going to plan.

Reckon Freo's future is ok. They have tried a hell of a lot of youngsters and the majority look ok.

great scenario goodone, scully would be ours...

BUT....if i had to be objective to whats happening with the tank, this is what i think...

I will say right now if this is where football is heading its a disgrace, teams are doing what the AFL are allowing them to do is drop games or munipulate to lose games in order to better their draft position or gain a prority pic...WC u could see they didnt want to win this, freo on 3 wins still know they have some scope up their sleeve, ahh the guy who laid a lazy 50K on freo to win on good odds, well done mate tanking is alive and well and u saw ur oppurtunity, just not in the mind of the worst CEO ever to head the AFL, vlad, fonzie wahatever u call urself if u couldnt see what most of us saw today u have no idea, step aaside and let someone with real nous lead this comp...

What you see tonight, even with the best coach our so called process spews out, it'll take more than 5 plus years for the RFC to play like that.


Intimidating and ruthless from the coach down is what the Saints are all about, starting to make up for the horrid 29 spoons they have won...we must learn this and bring back into our club...the days of Tommy Hafey are sadly long gone
 
Can't believe St. Kilda is still undefeated. I'm just waiting for them to capitulate as they always do, it's a part of their pathetic culture. But when will it happen is what I ask myself.
