Coming from a team which blatantly tanked in 05, he'd know, I guess.
Coming from a team who rested Fraser, Didak and Rusling for reasons that had their own supporters wondering about tanking.
Teams tank for different reasons. Pies had not much to gain last night as they needed unlikely results to go their way to go top four. It is likely they will play Adelaide again but with those 3 included. They certainly didn't fight the game out last night.
Saints today were lethargic and going through the motions until the end which they pulled out for a couple of retiring players.
Their motivation for losing wasn't anywhere near as strong as ours but they were still prepared not to give it their best.
