Question

http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,23372379-11088,00.html

Answer 1

No player wants to loose a match, if they did, they would be doing something else. Maybe from a coaching point of view they want the best, No. 1 draft pick + priority pick ....... Gives more thought to the whole 5 year plan

Answer 2

You know its true. Carlton can deny what they did last year but they know that they didn't want to win the games. The rules need to be changed to stop this from happening!

Answer 3

i think no doubt that carlton went out there to lose look what they got out of it

Answer 4

cutemum, put his reputation in jeopardy??

Libba doesn't have much of a reputation. He was a dirty player, he has little loyalty, and he is the most unprofessional guy in the business. And he's short. And a cannibal

Answer 5

They tanked, tanked, tanked, tanked, tanked, tanked, if I still didn't get the message across, they tanked.

Answer 6

Like he ever had any integrity on or off the field just ask Mathew Knights.

The dirtiest player ever to pull on a pair of footy boots its just a pity someone didn't well and truly tank him while he was wearing them.

Answer 7

I believe in the allegations Libba has said.

Why would he lie and put his reputation in jeopardy.

I think it makes real sense in what he said.

Poor Bernman...He is a lovely man with a great sense of humor!!!

Answer 8

Since I can't see the Footy Show in the USA, I have to go by what I read in the above story (thanks to Andrew the Rocket Scientist and wanker since we can't see channel 9 here).

It sounds like a possibility, losing games on purpose to get draft picks. It happens in all the sports with draft picks.

Libba just may have sealed any chance of coaching in the AFL again. I hope he can find a job in the country if he wants to coach again.

Answer 9

carlton are known salery cap cheats so why wouldn't they do this too?

of course they did it.

Answer 10

Libba is correct in his revelations.

Answer 11

Libba, Footy  it;s like you are speaking a foreign language....

I have no Idea what you are talking about (other then it must have something to do with the AFL)  because I am in the USA where we speak English.....

now don't get your knickers in a bunch because i am just playing with you...... It's my warped sense of humor.. Just ask Cutemum2 and Rockmum if you don't believe me... :D

by the way what would have been the benefit to the team for tanking games?

Answer 12

He's just saying what ppl already knew.

Answer 13

After his condemnation of his old club, Footscray, and saying what other people think about Carlton,  I reckon he's got one strike left before the AFL rams a football into his gob and holds it there with strapping.

He can't be even 50 yet can he? Too young for Alzheimers?

Or is it just that he misses mouthing off at real footballers on the field then screaming to the umpire when they drop him?

Shut it Tony - big man big mouth, little man all mouth.

Answer 14

Ummm........... I don't have a clue babe, I am just answering this because you asked it =} Sweet dreams and I gave you best answer.

Answer 15

I was watching it and what he was on about i already new coz there was speculation the last game would be deliberately lost so they can get number 1 draft pick so it didnt come as a suprise
