Simple question, yes or no, even an anti tanker would be hard pressed to want to win this week, but I'm interested in the % for and against.


YES = I want to win this week, no matter what.


No = another loss in this shitty season is more gain than pain.

I am not one for tanking, but it is totally pointless winning this game and missing out on the first picks in both drafts.

I want the PP but I don't want to lose. I think what evreyone would really prefer is a draw, it would really sum up this whole, sad, pointless season....

after enduring the game last week.

i dont want the players to deliberatley loose, but i'll actually be happy and relieved when we lose this one.

no more than an 8 goal loss this week though please!

i hape the game is fee flowing and high scoring and the kids play well.

but i ultimatley dont wont us to win the game.

this week i'm a tanker and ashamedly so.

i just want it all to be over this year

After the Essendon* game I have changed my mind about tanking and probably think its best if we drop the game and get the picks...goes against my principles but after witnessing the last game we need to do something dramatic to change the list and inject some quality...

Yes! Of coure I WANT the Blues to win this week!

I also know it would be counterproductive to pull one out of our arses too.

The Roos are also rebounding after a godawful pantsing, and are unlikely to even let us get a look in, which comes as a relief to the part of my brain which says we need to lose.

Best result: Draw. We get 2 points, not enough to put us over the PP threshold, but enough to salvage some pride and say that at least we took it to the all match.

Yeah, but there will be no one here to discuss the draft with here, because we will have all had heart attacks!

Well, that would at least mean I would be saying nice things about Synbad for once, rather than getting the shits with him.... :twisted: :twisted:

Take the loss and better still the Woods and Hawks have a win so we can take pick 1 & 2.

I doubt this wil happen, we had piur best chance last week when the Hawks should have won and the Woods should have beaten the Roos several weeks back.

After the year we have had we really deserve pick 1 & 2, Woods have had heaps of injuries and the Hawks are playing the kids whilst we've almost had a full list to select from.

Go Woods and Hawks.

A draw would be my preferred result.
