Wood and Kreuzer played in our games against
Adelaide Loss 9 points
Port Adelaide Win
Gold Coast Win
Bulldogs Loss 11 points
Richmond Loss 30 points
before being dropped for a couple of games
Fremantle Loss 42 points
Hawthorn Loss 138 points
brought back Wood
Kangaroos Loss by 64 points
Collingwood Loss by 18 points
dropped again
Brisbane Loss by 64 points.
Aside from the North game where we still showed a little fight despite the margin our performances with Wood and Kreuzer have been more competitive.
Makes sense. I thought we lost to Freo by around 10 goals??

Nah it felt like that but Freo aren't heavy scorers.

We are playing the system as all other clubs have and would do...its tanking but where is the problem?...its up to the AFL to change the draft system if they have a problem with what we are doing..

We won 7 games last year, we lost a bunch of senior players over the preseason. We spent the first half of this year getting belted and we now have 25 available players including the retirement of our most important player from the past decade.
When Mick was looking shakey it was all about the awful list and years of botched trading. Now with a novice coach of questionable talent in charge, they decide we're tanking - you couldn't make thiss shit up.

If we were losing games with all these guys on the field, then you could reasonably claim we were tanking. Take a dozen front liners out of any other team and see how they play!
CL, I'm wondering who the dozen actually are. I don't subscribe to the tanking theory at all, but I'd be surprised if we had anywhere near that many missing from our best 22.

If he's trying to deflect attention from Hird, it won't work

Flubbo will probably claim Hird has resigned in disgust after hearing how Carlton's tanking had compromised the competition! :o
