Why on earth would Martin want to go to a club who deliberately tank for draft picks?

Because you can't pay him enough :\

 

[iBeng]

North want to be careful here, dont want to get in front, pressure on then to get back behind.

 

[BTs Nana]

When is Swallow retiring? Has he announced it yet?

 

[Rod Stroker]

So you guys cheated as well?

We aren't on the bottom.
If we do end up there we'll have done it honorably, not sent there because we cheated the competition and injected our players with illegal substances.

It's not overt tanking, but there is a bit of a bad smell about this game. Hope it improves after half time.

 

[Thats Wright]

Mckay looks alright down back.

 

[L Dizz]

The teams have kicked a combined 1.13 to one end, and 10.1 at the other. On a still day. Weird.

Hopefully off to the Gold Coast as part of the Brad Scott deal.

Whichever of us loses EVERYONE will claim the loser is tanky. Stupid game really.

 

[Jugada]

I thought both teams were having a decent crack for teams with bigger incentives to lose. More so than a team who is currently playing for finals anyway...

Just to clarify, I don't think anyone is tanking. I find it hard to believe professional sportsmen would try to lose, and that's not what's happening here. Just looks like both teams are off and maybe it's because there's actually a penalty for winning and subconsciously that affects you.

There must be a better system than this one that effectively rewards losing towards the end of the season.

Only on everyones wife/girlfriend

 

[WowWeee]

[boncer34]

North clearly realised they aren't getting Kelly. No need for that #1 pick in the PSD

It'll be harder for Scott to join the Gold Coast with a spoon between his legs.

 

[ReservoirDog]

 

[iBeng]

Yeah, lets tank in a year the top 5 kids are dead even.

 

[Smartest Brain]

Brisbane are looking horrible.

 

[Arc1]

Is that spelled Mullet with two 'p's?

 

[Neese]

Good to see Hipwood and Cox extending their contracts for Brisbane
I wanted Lions to win

 

[WowWeee]

God Lions are terrible

 

[the big lebowski]

Get stuffed Higgins with your class and skill

 

[cotter101]

Gee we are playing bad today.

 

[WowWeee]

6 more goals for Ben brown please

 

[Zanestro]

Absolutely disgraceful, about 1 goal to 12 since quarter time.
