Opinion Tanking. The elephant that isn't going away

[Lingsface]

How many late outs tonight? Everyone except for shuey and hurn I’d say haha.

Hopefully this puts the debate to bed.

Coaches can do what they like but as long as the blokes out on the field are trying to win the game (as West Coast clearly were last week and North clearly are today) I don't see a problem.

Does it? It gets talked about all year. It has not.

Media's gotta fill their papers with s**t I guess.

Doubtful.

Gov maybe? Looked pretty banged up from last week.

Yeo being out is the kicker though. Pretty he and Kelly are the main reason we won last week.

My god but you really are from the shallow end of the gene pool.

I have a masters in molecular biology. Can you please explain what you mean by this comment?

Yeah not a lot of quality to leave out really, give Allen and Kelly a rest.

Both things can be true at the same time. I don't think the lottery is as bad as people think it is. I have no issues if North got pick 1 now, instead of the Eagles in a lottery.

 

[Tas]

North told they wouldn't get band 1 for McKay if they finish last

Bullshit.

 

[bzparkes]

Maybe.

Talk earlier in the year about Hawthorn tanking, they went "* it and put themselves out of contention for #1".

WCE accused of tanking vs Essendon and went "* it" and beat the Bulldogs, at their home, when they needed to win to ensure they could make finals.

North encouraged to tank all week from Vic media, they said "* it" and won a game they could've simply 'managed' and kept their hands on number 1.

I was wrong about North and it looks like all 3 teams didn't want the stain of tanking associated with them, despite the prize for #1 being Reid.

 

[bzparkes]

Bullshit.

'tis a joke mate.

 

[kreuze_missile]

Eagles will probably win.

Crows shouldn't even bother turning up after last weeks debacle.

Simo clearly not following company orders either.

 

[bzparkes]

They won't. In fact, Allen's been smashed all year and could very much do with sitting out the final game but would rather play Hurn & Shuey's final game.

Also would want to play every game he could after missing the entirety of last year, I imagine.

Kelly's still in good nick.

Stupid.

An idiot.

A person who’s IQ is on the left side of the bell curve.

A certified moron.

 

[Dangerousfield]

The tank is dead, well done to North.

Crows to win comfortably tonight as befitting their standing as a 2023 finalist - oh wait!

I don't think you understand how genes work. No one gene can predict one person's abilities.

Also, environment, personal experiences, education can play a huge factor, possibly an even bigger factor that genetics.

As for the "shallow" part, that has nothing to do with science or how we understand genetics. You may not then see the irony in using this colloquialism, in claiming someone comes from the shallow end from the gene pool, but I certainly see it from my point off view. I suggest next time you make a smart ass comment about genes you should probably do some reading on the subject matter.

Ah, the master of predictions and lack of humour has spoken.

You do do metaphors don’t you?

Surfing injury?

Crows go from pick 6~ to pick 10~ with a win.

Tank chaos is ON lets go.

 

[bzparkes]

Surfing injury?

Hamstring after dragging the team over the line for a win last week actually.

Wow, congrats, where should we send your medal?

Tanking died with the double pick being removed
