Given BB came from a successful system, I don't believe its the latter. I personally believe they are manipulating the dot points I listed above to manufacture a convenient outcome. I now also believe Liddles "we dont want a priority pick" was a strategic ploy to actually draw one from the AFL (ie to divert attention away from any tanking debates). The AFL will not allow us to go through a season with one win and not give us PP. I reckon the club would be loving the media (like King) saying we are soulless and not playing for the jumper etc etc. Notice not one journo has used the T word yet? Maybe the club is cleverer than what we all thought. Conspiracy theory? Is it possible to manufacture the outcomes? Most will say probably not but something doesn't add up for mine. Maybe I have been reading too many LP posts (only joking fella) ;D ;D ;D
Something certainly doesn't add up.
There's such a dramatic difference between games where we bring effort and games when we don't seem to have that same attitude.
The problem I'm having is that you can almost predict which Carlton side will show up following the team selections on a Thursday night.
The fact that it's predictable indicates to me there are a few things going on and being manipulated behind the scenes.
It's a dangerous game though.
Angry supporters are one thing.
Wealthy angry powerbrokers are another story...and if they surface and gain momentum the best laid plans may suddenly be out the window.
