    Tanking Talk as Much-Maligned McVeigh Sinks Saints with Game-winning Goal

    Tanking controversy has once again rocked the AFL. This time the accused is Saints Coach, Ross Lyon who was heard to say to his players "If McVeigh gets the ball, dont tackle him, dont stop him...just let him have it"

    When asked why he gave his players that instruction Lyon claimed that he "definitely wanted to win the game...and in that case the safest strategy was to stop the Swans kicking a goal. What better way was there than to have the ball in the position of a player whose own coach makes jokes of the fact that he cant kick a goal?"

    When asked his opinion on the controversy Paul Roos stated that "there was alot of confusion out there. I told my guys not to kick it to Jarrad any more...but it seems that they thought I meant not to kick it to Jarred Moore"

      Very, very good.
      Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
      Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

        I'd be happy with "Swans win by 1 point".

                Kirk injured, plays on one leg. Same old same old.
                I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
                We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

                              Bird-related headlines have been well covered previously on RWO - watch as these gems get a run in the national press in coming weeks...
