Weren't you the one going on last year about how bad tanking was, about how if we tanked we wouldn't lure a big name to the club and that we should just try and win as many games as possible to keep the pride in our jumper.
I think Donstuie should be in charge of the club. We wouldn't have Kreuzer, we wouldn't have Judd, but we'd have pride in our jumper

You're right about everything except not luring a big name. I don't recall ever saying anything about that. But everything else is true, and I will this year too
You would probably run the club better than me though. I don't think I could come up with genius strategies like sacking the recruiters (for whom, I'm not sure), losing all our games for the next 5 years and then with our force of nothing but #1 picks expect to pull a couple of premierships out of our arses, with the risk of being impeached for gross incompetence should we fail to do so. That is, if the club hasn't already gone bankrupt from memberships and sponsors dropping every year, incessant negative press, AFL investigations into rorting the system and moving to West Sydney.
That's our Barack!

You like twisting words don't you. I believe we need to tank this year, because we need two key position players and can get them in this year's draft. Also the fact is we will not make finals this year. End of this year is the end of tanking, we go gung ho from there. With Natinui and Hurley we'll have a group of young kids that can get us to premiership 20 while Essendon* are struggling on premiership 16.
Re sacking Hughes for you're not sure who. They said the same thing about Smorgon. We'll find an excellent recruiter. We have Pratt at the helm, the guy that got us the best CEO in the league. But if you want to keep Hughes I'm sure you're right about the benefits of that, just like you were right about the benefits of winning 8 games last year. Who needs Kreuzer and Judd when you can have Mcevoy. Of course there's the minor problem that Hughes looks like he might have gone through the 2004 draft without selecting one player who will be on our list in two years, but you're the expert.
I think you should keep posting about how bad it is we have Judd and Kreuzer and how we needed more wins last year. It hurt so much when we lost narrowly to Collingwood didn't it? I really wish we could have won that game. Why oh why did Fev have to injure himself.
