Libba backflip on "tank" claims

[Brighton_Diggins]

Right.......for doing, what you claim, was no more than what did in 2005......no more than what the Roos did in 2006......and the examples go on......

So where is the Tank in Smith street.......where is the explosive interview?

Do you get it now?

You are saying we did what you did........so why are we getting the negative press?

Why?
BECAUSE WE GOT JUDD AND KEPT THE NUMBER 1 PICK AND EVERYONE IS PISSED THAT WE GOT EM BOTH.

Prove me wrong.

I agree...oh the bitterness.
It's sad to see.
For years the blues were on the canvas out cold.
We've managed to right the ship and alot of people have resorted
to cheap shots 'cause that is all that's left.
King bitterness is KB. He's a bitter little man to begin with,
but his attitude along with hutchy, libba, caro, Gary L and others
typifies this feeling towards Carlton.
To me it's an absolute laugh.

You misunderstand.. Carlton would have been derelict in their duty by not tanking.. every club pushes the rules to the limit.. I'm not saying anything derogatory about Carlton's actions, we did the same to great benefit.. I merely commented on the perception of the public.. but I would be the last person to say it was a negative.. how can it be when you get players like Pendles and Kruezer.. this is the AFL's problem.. not Collingwood or Carlton's

Sure, but if the public are claiming that we only did what you did etc then why is it that we are getting all this press.....an AFL investigation, and no-one prior to us has raised an eyebrow?

Because it has built up over time, a few years back it was less well known by the public and more subtle by the clubs but now the stakes are so high you end up with matches like the Kruezer cup and it is has a higher profile now

Yes.......I'm sure that's it.

I'm sure the reason why the media hasn't let up about it ISN'T because it Carlton........it's just because it's higher profile now.

BTW, who coins the terms....Bryce Gibbs cup.....and Kreuzer cup?

Hmmmm..... the media?

And who has appeared in those games.......hmmm......the blues maybe?

So are you just providing more evidence for me, for media bias going back further?

Thanks for understanding.

Yes.......I'm sure that's it.

Believe me they'd have been all over our arse too but it just hadn't become an issue back then.. they know Collingwood + scandal = sales

That's funny, because they changed the rules the next year...........maybe it was an issue, but it's much better when you have a club that's already been done for cheating (salary cap) to write a follow up on them cheating again.............calling it list management and ignoring it just isn't interesting enough now is it?

Are you saying it didn't happen? because your own fellow supporters in this thread have already admitted it happened

No other Carlton supporter i know in person wanted to lose the last 6 games . Last season , I would've preferred Ratten notched up 2 or 3 wins tbh .
