I am trying to work out if this is a joke thread or serious

Must be a joke thread ... nobody would be seriously looking to win 4 or less games in 2008 on purpose

You really, really, really want the current Carlton recruiting group sacked don't you. :lol:

Next years draft is another bumper crop so any picks between 1-10 will get you a terrific prospect.

As a former non-tanker turned tanker and now reformed non-tanker I now find this thread appalling.

Look, it's unlikley we will make finals next year. And I know we need a year of winning 8-10 games for development purposes. But next year's draft is strong, and the two top picks (plus someone good in the PSD) would set us up for a decade of complete dominance.

Your thoughts?

Firstly........... Errr, WHAT?

I might be aiming a bit high but i think we're a strong chance for the finals next year.

Secondly, why & how would 'Tanking' guarantee premierships?

It hasn't worked for StKilda.

Someone clearly has no idea of the need in AFL to win games, for the team's belief, and for revenue purposes.

Beg to differ VB - we have been losing, but got Dick, Greg, Icke, Ratts, Chris, Kreuz and the money is pouring in. :-D

Winning will be a nice cherry at the top, but do we really need it to bring in the bacon? :-D

I wasn't joking in another thread about banning anyone who talks about tanking pre-season.... :evil:

I might extend that to those who join in the discussion and give these threads "cred".

No more tanking... people need to get past that mentality now.. having to endure the mocking of the football world in the latter part of 2007 was bad enough...

But if one more year of tanking will guarantee premierships (note plural) we would be absolute fools not to tank in 2008.
