In fairness I think they gave everything against us
I really don't think they are tanking. Beams played several weeks with a bung shoulder when they could have put him on ice and every good fit player they had played against us last week, in the right position.
The Demons experience was a bad one where they took it too far. A club would be mad to risk it. They are in a great position this year though since what they really need are key position players and it seems like the top 2 in the draft are good ones.
Clubs having bad seasons like the Lions, Blues, Suns and Bombers just need to be sensible. Play as many youngsters as you can, put players on ice if they have issues that need post-season surgery, and try and play hard. Let the draft order fall where it may.
