This.

You only lose your virginity once.
Since the first I don't really care, someone has to come last every season and while it sucks it's not that big a deal when you get the first pick in the draft to dull the pain.

I agree ,I was devastated at the first wooden spoon ,now I say if it happens it happens.
In saying that I would much rather win a game than lose

This is absolutely correct. How many spoons would we have if there were no reward? My guess is one.
But tanking doesn't happen in the AFL.

I don't care if we get the spoon as long as we make proper use of the advantages.

Can stir four pots of stew at once. Now they can really smell what we are cooking.

One must think of the bigger picture. at this stage it would be useless and detrimental to the team to win one more game.
This has been an other annus horribilis, in a long chain now best put it behind us.
A strong hand at trading and drafting is the smarter way to go. SOS has just got to get it right.

Collingwood mates tonight said why wouldn't we lose... their answer to the farce would be for the bottom four to raffle picks at the end of the year. I said that was stupid...it is
not easy to finish last

That and it would just promote tanking to get in the bottom 4.

I just wanted to thank the Madhouse for this opportunity to take out the coveted last position. If Brisbane wins we need to cash in on all the Madhouse's hard work.
