Yep, I have no respect for any team that tanks eg Carlton, St Kilda, West Coast.
Adelaide, like Sydney, are rarely out of the 8. When they do slip out of the 8 they still dont tank, rather they try to finish as high as they can and get back into the 8 as soon as they can. That earns my respect.

You haven't got up close and personal with the Port supporters Al. The Crows fans might be annoying but at least they are recognisably homo-sapien.

Yeah but its not Carltons fault they were allowed to tank regardless. This goes back to the AFL and the secret summit held over the summer of 2006-07 to ensure that melbourne teams always remained competitive and never miss out on playing finals again. Since then all we have seen are all victorian Grand Finals and concessions given to victorian clubs. Coincidence? Hardly.
If anything you should have no respect for the AFL.
At least the NRL doesnt encourage TANKING aye crusier.
There was no secret summit, i was being fictitious..or maybe there was but it was an unofficial gathering of victorian club presidents.
But at the end of the 2006 the herald sun went on a campaign to make sure no victorian team misses out on playing finals and we don't have a situtation like 2001-06 where interstate sides dominated. They did use "The AFL needs to hold a summit" in regards to this fiasco. If you search the herald dumb it will be there.
The next 5 GF winners and participants were all victorian and teams like the blues and the demons were handed concessions for coming last and the boss of the AFL, a victorian, denied that tanking occured.
Coincidence?
On a side note watching the Port final minutes against North on the weekend I saw that lady PA fan from the 2003 final who had the scowl and was sucking the lemons the whole game. She looks quite nice with a smile on her face celebrating.
Anyway, I love the way the Crows are playing. Can't wait to see them up against West Coast and Essendon and was pretty happy to see them account for Carlton so easily.
Our game against them was super.
I genuinely believe we are Top 4 based on that game. There wasn't much in it. We just need to hold tough over the next weeks.
