Round 20: Carlton vs Brisbane Post Game Pain

[Lods]

- They know we're going to take Weitering and they want Schache so they could afford to beat us
- They have plenty of young talent that just needs developing (despite all our outs they had a younger and less experienced team on average
- Blokes like Rockliff and Robinson wanted to stick it to us
- We have more experience in tanking

If it's a choice between us tanking or just being an absolute basket case at the moment....I'm going to go with 'basket case.'
If we're tanking someone needs to get into Cripps' ear.
He's not following the program.
Tanking suggests we're "playing dead"
That we're better than we are actually showing.
I'm sure many of us believe the fix is in.
I suspect for many supporters though, the 'tanking theory' is a refuge for those who are struggling with how bad we actually are.

I will concede that at this stage though you would have to think that winning has now become a non-issue.
But the reality is that we are playing, and considering playing, players who are already thinking about their new team-mates.
This can't be a united playing group and there would be some players (to their credit) who are refusing to buy into anything other than an all-out effort.
These guys see the half efforts of others and that further widens any gaps in the group.
There's more to fix here than just a playing group.
