Hi.

Tanking the last lot of game is nothing but a gutless reinforcment of the synthetic nature of the draft process. You get a good list and play well until your list is stifled. Then you tank your games to get better draft picks?

Sorry, you play footy to win. That is all you have to remember.
Anything else is weak. Anything else undermines this Club.

A draft pick is nice, but first choice isn't always everything and is always the best. Creative drafitng is just as useful.


I didnt understand what you were saying.... (more intelligent sounding words)

.....except the bit where you said "first draft choice isn`t always the best"

.. and then i found myself agreeing with you and thinking thats why having pick three as well makes it so good....

Apologies and thanks!. I was eating dinner and typing!

First choice isn't always everthing and is not necessarily the best.

I suppose there have been enough true Champions who no where near a number 1 draft pick.

I heard that the club only decided to offer Denis another contract because BM thought we should....

Now theyre looking at ways to terminate his contract because BM doesnt think Denis can coach.

PROOF that the board base their decisions on TC (especially BMs intellectual analysis threads)

Blue Mark> (one step ahead of ) > Board...


You forgot Synbad that they only promoted Bryan after I had called for his inclusion in the senior team.
