Damian Drum says tanking in the AFL is a problem because it pays,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Former Fremantle coach Damian Drum was at the centre of the infamous "Hasleby Game" in 1999,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in which Geelong kicked the last 11 goals against the Dockers in Round 22,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], handing them a priority pick.
Dockers players remarked about their positional changes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but Drum was adamant the club did not deliberately lose the game.
Perth boy Hasleby became the No.2 draft pick,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but the extra pick enabled the Dockers to recruit No.4 selection Matthew Pavlich, who became one of the greats.
Now the National Party MP for Bendigo,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Drum said he had a clear conscience about the game,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but he said the system was broken and must be repaired.
"What we have is a flawed system that encourages teams to lose,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Drum told the Herald Sun.
"The AFL have to look at it very carefully. While they continue to leave these serious inducements for losing,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the system will always have conjecture.
"The AFL will be battling these allegations in two years time and four years and six years,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and there will be suspicion over the performance of bottom clubs for as long as they leave these rules in place."
The league has since made it almost impossible for clubs to win a pre-draft priority pick,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but struggling clubs starved of high picks in the expansion era still have huge incentives to finish on the bottom.
Drum favours a lottery system that means every club in the bottom eight has a chance at the first pick,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with weightings given to the worst sides.
In that much-scrutinised 1999 game Brodie Holland played on a half-back flank and Jess Sinclair back pocket - both for the first time - and commented on those moves post-match,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
"Effectively you know what the stakes are from the result of that game,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Drum said. "We were very,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], very clear we went out to win . but the prize we got for not winning was Matthew Pavlich."
