The AFL has created a situation where, by any definition, the club would be nuts to win another game. I don't like tanking at all, I think it's a blight on the game and it sucks, I deal with by laughing at how stupid the concept is. But if the system dictates that a draft is in place to recruit players and that the best players go early in the draft, then, the AFL, and us as supporters, have to cop it sweet when the "questions" start flying around.
C'mon, how stupid is it that Richmond supporters are hoping Carlton wins and Carlton supporters are hoping Carlton loses. Carlton did not create the draft and priority pick system.
But all clubs have agreed to it.

After Black Friday 2002 - that flowering flowerhead Demetrispew looked right down the camera and put on his most supercillious and pompous arse voice and preached what key planks the Draft and Salary Cap Systems were to the AFL in maintaining a competition of integrity and fairness.
He also went on to mention how fair the AFL was dealing with Carlton and in fact that the AFL "went easy" on Carlton with respect to penalties for our so called rorting of the salary cap.
Then he and the AFL Commission reamed us again right royally by changing the qualification criteria of the Priority Pick for the 2006 National Draft and consigning us to a very helpful Pick 17 as a Priority Pick despite us having finished on the bottom for 2 years in a row.
I am quite happy for this flowering flowering turdhead to choke on his weetbix for the next 4 weeks as we lose the next 4 games - and front the media and say how important the Draft is to the fairness and integrity of the AFL Competition (with a straight face
remembering all in all what a fantastic talent he has at bending the truth).
Then he can gag on National Draft Day in November and call out Carlton Pick Number 1 and Carlton Pick Number 3 - and hopefully generate the biggest exploding ulcer in his putrificent stomach trying to justify to the media what a fair and equitable system the AFL has in place.
"Spew" go and flower yourself you seeping pile of putrescent turd.
