Losing to them suddenly look not too bad. Self comfort.And....
Putting them in for end of season surgery (like we did with Fyfe) is only natural when you have nothing to play for. When they don't get surgery til september/october they won't have a pre-season for next year. It is nothing to do with losing those games, it's about getting ready for the year after. Don't forget the Eagles finished 2nd last in 2008 as well so it wasn't as if they were top of the ladder the year before.. And it took them til 2015 to get back to the GF. The more often you finish down the bottom the slower the climb up. Look at Richmond, Carlton, Melbourne, Collingwood, Bulldogs.. Took them ages to get back to the summit.
Did you read the rest of it? Or did you just see the Fyfe part only? Tanking does not actually work and has never worked.Fyfe has a broken leg he had to have surgery. Some Eagles players could have put off surgery just like Kenedy did last year with his elbow.

I try to ignore other post, obviously we didn't tank intentionly, if Barlow and deboer the solution play them in the first team , not peel.Yes true
Other posters were referring to their losing culture
That's the same as what we did in 2011. Mass injuries, a few 1-2 week niggles. Towards the end it was clear that the season was good as done.Putting them in for end of season surgery (like we did with Fyfe) is only natural when you have nothing to play for.

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.
You do realise that if we actually did tank that the AFL will fine us and take away our draft picks?I don't get why we want to risk further injuries to key players just for the sick of media want to said what they like.is like we want to tank so that hill get injured.

AFL will have to prove that we tanked, which is incredibly hard to do unless there was a rat from inside the club willing to snitch.
That's how Melbourne got done for tanking.
Then we are not tanking, why care about what media said.You do realise that if we actually did tank that the AFL will fine us and take away our draft picks?
We aren't tanking anyway, we are just playing like s**t while missing 3 of our top 5 and 4 of our top 10 as well as other injuries throughout the year and other players out of form.
Why would we want to tank only to be able to get 1 high first round pick and in a draft where there are no real KPP's which we need. The real problem is what happens if we give "the kids" all these games and they show they are not really as good as we all thought, barring Alex Pearce. What is our Plan B?
Ok I keep my mouth shut now , but there will many will still keep talking about it.AFL doesn't burden itself with any requirement resembling proof.
Melbourne weren't punished for tanking.
They were penalised because people were talking.
'Prejudicial Conduct' was the current CEO's finding.
Melbourne fined, staff suspended, but no tanking. What the…?
suggesting that we do not play any of our good players such as hill because they might get injured would make the AFL sanction us and that is what the comment i quoted was referring to.AFL will have to prove that we tanked, which is incredibly hard to do unless there was a rat from inside the club willing to snitch.

Yeah that's not the only reason we are so s**t. Writing was on the wall last year.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.

Yep. We will play the other bottom six twice, instead of playing last years top six twice like we are this year.Do we get an easy draw for 2017 if we finish bottom 5?
