Collingwood- great advertisement for Tanking

[The Real Deal]

A lot of people, particularly pies supporters are quick to accuse Carlton of tanking but the fact is that in 2005 Collingwood tanked in the second half of that season and ended up with picks 2 and 5. The two players drafted were Thomas and Pendlebury, both pivotal in this year's finals campaign. So before you go pointing the finger at Carlton, have a look in ya own backyard!!

Well if we did tank - at least we got a Premiership out of it - all Carlton got was a bunch of front running squibs and are no closer to a flag than they were 5 years ago. In fact ,the blues are a Chris Judd injury away from a bottom 4 finish

Sfn!

 

[Rustin Cohle]

lol, we were just shit.

We used to bag Carlton for being rapists as well as tankers.
Those were the days

Anyway, Collingwood 2010 Premiers.

 

[Football God]

You picked Murphy before either.

1 priority pick for Premiership winning Pies.

4 priority picks for perenial failures carlton.

If that is tanking, you're doing it wrong.

If you're going to tank, it's a good idea to have a recruiter who can actually identify talent.

OHHH THE PREMIERSHIPS A CAKE WALK
FOR THE OLD COLLINGWOOD!!!!!!!

Who'd have thought picks 2 & 5 would turn out to be best players 1 & 2 in the draft?

Drafting carlton, you're doing it wrong.

Wasn't sure that it needed a response? We spooned 5 yrs ago and played finals this year- i think it's safe to say we're closer to a flag now.

Thomas had a good year this year but Murphy has clearly been better over the journey.

 

[yummy6]

This here. There wasn't any tanking at all. Lost players after 02-03. That's the cycle Carlton flog.

Nobody did. We copped shit for years over those picks.
Carlton clowns are funny, they make me laugh.

They tank so bad that they thought that getting Judd was a good idea. They recruit absolute spuds with no idea and then put Juddy in. He makes them middle of the road so they don't win finals, don't get good picks, don't go anywhere basically. They would of been better off continuing picking spuds with priority picks. Eventually they would've got it right.

It's a fact is it *******?, Collingwood has come out and confirmed this to be true?, or were you heavily involved with the club at the time and you have evidence to support this claim?

Good work d**khead

Your trolling is about as good as Carlton's tanking, failed miserably.

If you're denying it that's a pretty weak attempt. No actually, after your poor start to that year Eddie pretty much spelt it out that the club would do some "list management."

We had some injuries all year, about 9 - 10 players or something. Having said that, from memory we could have beaten North in the last game, Nathan Buckley missed a goal from about 40 - 50 directly in front to put us in fron right near the end.

I can't remember exactly but I hope I'm right. Nathan Buckley won us the 2010 flag. Suck a dick haters

 

[Good_Old]

Oh wow, what an admission. Good work super slueth

 

[bluepride]

Judd was a good idea.

Yer i know
but better not just be saying that because he won the brownlow this year

 

[Brilliant]

Cool, how many finals did he win?

He is holding your team back and you flogs worship him

 

[Cassius_Clay]

So we both tanked in 2005. You also 'tanked' in 2006 and 2007. Why are you still so shit? Go figure.

Thanks for Pendles AND Thomas. Appreciate it

 

[Cassius_Clay]

Yeah, you won that one. Carlton 1, Collingwood 0. lol.

 

[bluepride]

How on earth is he holding our team back?

Could another Collingwood poster with some knowledge and some integrity please but this idiot back in his place.

Id rather it be one of his own kind, that has a brain.

Thats the thing with some bigfooty posters, just critising every aspect of every team that isnt yours doesnt give you respect, having an open mind and saying "Wow, Pendlebury is such and such...." ect.

 

[Zahki]

Yeah, great that it all worked out. Shame that Carlton can't even manage to tank right, they get the #1 pick then use it on players like Bryce Gibbs, embarrassing.
