I know that both teams are playing to lose but there is a difference.
There coach, Mark Riley is playing for his job and may want to win, whereas Ratten has already got his job and doesn't need to worry about contracts for another two years.

im a fan of concocting this deal...and then when it comes time to give them our pick after they won we say "deal? what deal?"

Its all about what motivates people. Our motivation to lose is much more compelling than theirs is.

As it happens, there is no set of circumstances which gives us pick 18!

There is another easy solution....Carlton and melbourne players should Swap Jumpers, so that both teams will play to Win.... and the Winner gets the priority picks...


on a more serious note, the AFL's stupidity goes beyond a joke....They will probably keep a close eye on Carlton and hope that they tank, so they can again put sanctions on us and punish us further for brining the game into dispute......

That makes sense, the thing that worries me is that they are looking to dop any player with a niggle...

Byron Pickett is now doubtfull....

They might not have realized that but you've let the cat out of the bag now.
Geez.
