Guttering way to lose a game but if we take the emotion out of it and think post-2009 now that we are 1-7 then Ramps is right. The Board should keep Terry on until the end of the season and tell him on Tuesday night to do a Ratten for the rest of the season, play the youngsters and aim for a top 2 pick with 4 wins or less so we have 3 picks in the top 20. People will say it's a loser mentality but we aren't good enough to seal wins anyway and its how the stupid draft system works and rewards. Make the most of a bad year by investing in the future.
Correct!
Lets take the early picks. Another issue is are there any more handy players in the VFL- ala Nahas. Theres no doubt in my mind your almost better off going with a 20-21 yo VFL player who "knows" how to play the game with the late picks.
Yep!!!
What would have a win proved today. Ooh yeah thats right another mid table finish leaving the new coach nothing to work with.
These are the kind of results that we should have got all those years when we ended up in no man's land (9th).
Nahas and Collins i think are fantastic players and will be good cattle for the new coach to work with. A tick for whoever found him and a tick for bringing Cousins to this club for he is a true champion of the game and should be in the leadership group at once.
Nahas B & F by the length of the straight as it stands right now
Bowden and Brown can set sail into the sunset together because they are finished as footballers for this club.
Sorry Bowden because i have defended him in the past but today i believed he shouldn't have been put on Tredrea so again the fault of our soon to be ex coach Wallace.
