There is a lot of discussion at the moment about the relative merits of high draft picks in a number of threads. Implicit in some posts is the suggestion that we should do everything we can to get the best draft position possible.
Earlier in the season this would've looked like a theoretical exercise. But with our recent improvements, and victories over Port and West Coast, more than 4 wins this season is a distinct possibility. Add to this Port, Crows, Eagles will be reviewing their lists and may go the tank themselves. (don't think they are doing it at present)
So the question is this: Should we look like avoiding the spoon or winning more than 4 games, should we tank or not?
No: We would lose more than we would gain, in terms of building a winning culture and there is no guarentee of get the pick right.
Yes: We cannot afford to win more than 4 games this year especially with a compromised draft. We need to bottom out properly and get a priority pick.
Yes: We need to secure pick 4 but don't need a priority pick.
Doesn't matter: we'll finish last anyway without tanking
Personally, I think no we shouldn't tank even if it costs us pick 4.
What do the rest of you think?
