The masterplan was put in place months ago to secure Chris Judd by getting rid of Pagan, installing Ratten, and letting the new coach know winning was not a priority.

Without tanking we would now not be in the box seat to nab Judd with pick 3, while at the same time having the luxury of being able to secure Kreuzer with pick 1.

And having a bit of PSD leverage doesn't hurt either!

It's not over yet! Just wait until Round 6 next year. It'll be on for young and old once again.

There is no proof we tanked.
This has been done to death.
We all wanted the best for the club and still do. I am not sure trying to open up a division on who wanted to tank and who didn't will do anybody any good.
Can't we just move on?

Can we not mention the tanking debate for the rest of the year please? I'm completely worn out by it.

Erm, when was it made known by Judd that he was leaving the Weagles? I thought it was Kreuzer we were tanking for? Even if we hadn't tanked, I'm sure Chris would have come to PP anyway!

yes im staunchly against tanking i think its immoral

With JUDD coming to PP, I imagine he won't want to keep playing for a club which doesn't give itself the best chance of winning every week.

Tanking is dead! Long live JUDD!

Just wait and see for a bit. If we lose a lot of games early next year, tanking will be back bigger and better than ever.

Even if we win on average every 1 in three games (7 wins for the year) tanking will be the preferred option of most ... particularly trying to get those 7 wins down to 4 again.

One poor Collingwwod supporter thinks we tanked and got Judd as a result. He even went as far as to say the system that rewards cellar dwellers should be overhauled.
I don't reckon he remembers how they managed to get Peldlebury and the Bogan

On that basis we can't talk about Judd after about, oh, Rd 1 next year
