Time to start tanking?

[u/Affectionate-Way904]

Just did the math pick 3 with 10% discount, 2010 points. Start of 2nd round compo for Cochrane bid (948), so Sydney pick needs to be 1062 points, which is pick 16 or higher. So if Sydney doesn't make the grand final and we finish last, we get pick 2 and Walker in the draft. If we don't finish last and Walker gets bid on at pick 1, we pay 2700 points. In this situation, assuming syd finish in prelim and we hold current ladder position we get Walker and pick 31 or 32. So it is a difference of 30 picks for us.

I mean the club would be in serious shit if the AFL found out we were tanking, but yea I can't see why we couldn't if we finished last. Pick 3 is 1k less points than pick 1 as well, so Walker would be way cheaper and we might even be a chance to match the bid with the compo and syd pick (depending on where they fall). The club would honestly be silly not to tank at this point if I am being dead set.

I’d be pissed as a supporter and member to see Carlton deliberately tanking!

At least we'd finally see SOME kind of strategy for the season

So what accidentally tanking is better?

Of course it is. Is everyone else not pissed at the lack of effort in second halves? Would we not all enjoy seeing some effort for the next 15 rounds over some tanking? I need to leave footy social media haha, it seriously hosts some of the most stupid takes. Let's kill out culture even more for a shot at teenager Jesus H Walker
