Are you proud of the tanking? Sincere question. I can't understand how some of the supporters here boast and brag like it's a brilliant thing.
Absolutely. I'm only interested in a flag. For me, it's the only reason clubs exist. I believe that it was incumbent of my club to do all that was necessary to build a premiership quality list. Will we ? Who knows, but it's only going to get harder with the upcoming draft concessions.
We didn't invent the current system, but we had to take advantage of it. The rewards are too great to do otherwise. I would have been flumaxed and dismayed in the extreme if we'd finished on 5-6 wins. In fact, we would have been the laughing stock of the AFL. Win one more meaningless game, or get two top 2 picks ? Win one more game and miss out on a potential 250 game player, or 'experiment' with winning not being the prime focus ? As I said, a flag is all that matters to me.
You're welcome to disagree with my stance. I couldn't give a shit
As for laughing stocks of the AFL ? Richmond, West Drugs, and Norf
