I might use it next time someone says the owen joke. However missing Fyfe, Sandi, Bennell, Johnson, Mundy (3 games) and now Hill is the really reason.
You take 4 to 6 of a teams best players out of any team and see how they go.
Imagine Sydney without Malcheski, Hanners, Parker, Tippett, Kennedy.
Imagine West Coast without Priddis, Nic Nat, Gaff, Shuey, Hurn.
Imagine Geelong without Danger, Selwood, Motlop, Taylor, Guthrie.
Our skills have been deplorable for some reason but injuries have taken a massive toll.

AFL 360. Footy Classified. This was last week.
So what, we need to play it smart that's all
I imagine they'd play better
First Freo's future's being ruined cos we're not playing da youf. Now we're tanking cos we're playing da youf. Make up your minds people!
With our injuries - and they're all long term ones - we're not contenders this year. Trying out game plans & getting games into the next generation is not tanking. We're playing hard footy, and it should eventually turn into good footy. It's not like we're giving up in games

Link to media reports???
Like any other club in our situation over the past years - draft position becomes a consideration.
Meh' - until the league brings in a lottery teams will tank if they think it's in their best interest.

I don't have a problem with Freo tanking if that's the case. It's in our best interest to get good picks if we don't play finals. It's called being smart.
Like I've said before Its going to be hard to prove that we're tanking by the AFL. We have good reasons for being 0-8
Injuries
New game plan
New rule changes
Old list

I already posted this on another thread but here.
Footy Classified around 32.25 (they talk about Cam McCarthy first)
https://www.9now.com.au/footy-classified/2016/episode-8
AFL 360 around 38.30
EDIT: according to AFL Gameday, we are the greatest 0-8 team in AFL history.

"All aboard, Thomas the tank engine is leaving the station". I hope we are but real subtle like. "First stop, Melbourne football club. Need a lift Jesse?".

Sooooo we've gone from the worst ever minor premiers to the greatest ever wooden spooners.
Vlahos was talking about it yesterday on PR, some bloke rang saying our 2nd Rd pick to Hawks for Brad Hill, a great idea but we don't have that pick.

Footy Crappified, enough said. That show deserves to have it's oxygen turned off with two of the worst journalists in the world on it in Parrot and Fatchins-on
