We have definitely made headlines with our fade outs in all 6 games we've played this year.
We started the year with 13 out injured.
Injury continued to hamper us till last week against the Pies when we had 3 out, and technically 5 out with Derksen and Reidy not playing.
We had that game vs Pies, but had a lot going against is in the last losing Harry to concussion and Gov for the last 9 minutes, and one down with Elijah, not to mention our achilles foot with set shots at goal missed...7 of them.
So, after 6 games we are 5 losses and 1 win.
We need 11 wins and 6 losses to get us to 10th on ladder and Finals. Last 9 games are at home in Melbourne.
Will we turn this trend around and win games we've set up for a win, or should we tank to get us Pick 1 (best in the land), plus Walker (FS), by ending up bottom of ladder, below Richmond, WCE, Effendopes, North and STK?
Only 1 game separates Carlton and bottom of ladder Richmond. We play them again, along with Effendopes, and WCE. I don't see the point in ending 17th or 16th because Tigers will call out Walker, effectively sucking up a first rounder and pushing back Sydney's first round pick in the 20's.
