Time to TANK!

Play the Cubs!

Questions must be asked about the game plan and players!

Exactly. Exactly why I said to play Chol in the ruck.

We know our best football is good enough

We won't give up until it's mathematically impossible

We'll look to build Some momentum Up for next season


No tanking here, doesn't matter, even if we do tank and finish 14th or 15th we'll still give up pick 4 or 5 for Prestia

True.
However , I'd rather see kids try to win than the same duds belting teams trying to lose.

Thats one way of putting and a very apt description of how things actually are and  should be.

8 games left.

That's 8 games for Elton, Chol, Soldo, McBean, Marcon etc etc.

Never play Astbury/Chaplin again in the D50. No Maric in the ruck. Drop Vickery and Griffiths. Stuff off Conca.

Nothing against the kid but he is an EFL standard ruckman.
Talk about jobs for mates at the RFC, but in this case it's jobs for cousins.

Indeed, and thats why the Peggy and Benny show needs to be moved on.

Griff back to half back to save his career. Chol for the ruck. He'll get smashed but Maric is cooked.

Ultimately it is the board that make these decisions. It may be heart warming to be able to lay the blame at on or two peoples feet, but no one (or two) individuals can overrule the majority.

Benny is on the board now but key point is he recommended the contract extension earlier this season and the board  backed Benny

So while the board unconditionally backs Benny (whixh they do) and Benny backs Dimma, Dimma keeps his job

I don't agree with it but it is how it is from what I've seen and hear

Clean out will be others not the senior coach or CEO

still, ultimately it is the board that must take responsibility, If they unconditionally follow the the advice of one person and that person is wrong, it is they who must carry the can. after all, that is what they are there for.

Picks in the top 30 will be gold this year. All clubs know it. Its very even.

The top 10 is very even too.

Having said that, the lower the pick the better if we are going to trade it for a gun, in competition with say a Carlton.
