No - I dont think either Sydney or Hawthorn would consider "tanking".
Both teams know the importance of keeping good form - particularly when all top 4 teams look like legitimate threats this year.
Additionally, and no offence to Port - but I reckon that, even if Port do beat Freo next week - If Sydney had a choice out of which Geelong/Freo/Port to play in an important final - they would chose Port any day of the week. Port are a very good team who have a bright future, but they have had difficulties with form recently, and unlikely the other 2 teams- do not have a team that has been tested late in September.
