'Fans' demanding their teams throw games for the sake of a priority pick who may or may not turn out to be the next James Hird (and God help the kid if he doesn't - just ask Luke Hodge or, already, Andrew Walker) need to pull their heads back out from their arses. Whoever finishes last will not be last because they tanked games, they will be last because THEY ARE THE WORST SIDE IN THE AFL. All this talk about tanking is just a shield from that basic reality, and no smirking about the number they supposedly did on the AFL and the other clubs will change that.
So, lets' all cut the bulldust.
