Robbo: Carlton tanking?

Listening to SEN the Carlton are tanking media witch hunt is on...

Cameron Wood being dropped while he was working well with Kreuzer was a strange one. It allowed Casboult to play forward almost the whole game.

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.

Robbo.  Modern day les Patterson.  What a flog

We are obviously the big news story of the day!

As for that fool's tanking theory, perhaps he should look in the stands at our games and see how many of our front line players are sitting up there with him. 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.

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