Eagles Tanking?
My thoughts on taking are as follows.

Tanking I believe is if you TRY to lose games. Instructing your players to not try their best and hopefully lose. I do NOT think the ealges are doing this. I DO however think the eagles are thinking playing the kids and getting them to learn more of a priority to winning. In other words they are thinking "if we win fantastic, do your best to win" etc but if they lose they are not too worried as long as the kids played ok and they were learning.

If we were truly tanking, Glass nor Cox would be playing atm. They are both injured.

why is it when clubs with winning cultures like carlton and the eagles lose matches and look like getting draft picks for it, it's called tanking but when melbourne and the dockers do it, it's called losing.
