The admin needs to step in here. Rawlings is still looking for wins to assist in his chances of securing the top job.

How do you know he isn't doing exactly what he's been asked to do?   ::)

And BTW someone from senior management is sitting in the box every week .... you may have heard of him... CRAIG CAMERON is the blokes name

Cameron said on Saturday that they've instructed Jade on what the Club wants when he was first given the caretaker gig. Yep Jade is under and following instructions from above.

Jack, perhaps you would be better off putting a list together of the people at the RFC that you actually like, it won't be very big will it.. ::)

So if Freo finish with less than 5 games won they don't get two early picks like pick 1&3 if the Dees and Eagles win 5 or more do they?

Isn't the Dees and the Eagles the only two teams that can cash in should they not win more than 4?

Yep, that's right, Freo will get a 2nd pick at the start of the 2nd round just like we will if we get a PP

Don't get bitter on me WP. You're better than that.

I've seen Cameron in the box and thought he was there was a specific reason. Could be to gauge Rawlings ability. I understand you would like us to develop a winning culture as of yesterday and find the thought of tanking abhorent but I am passionate in my belief that winning games this year will not be a positive for our future.

I am convinced that the administration and Rawlings are unified in their focus on winning this year with the youth. I agree that playing the youth to give them experience and to showcase their talent is paramount but do we need to sacrafice our draft selections?

You will get your wins WP, infact we will probably win 3 to 5 before the year is out but I believe in is in the clubs best interests to foget the present and play for the future.

Sorry if you disagree

Bitter ... er nope.

Just replying to your idea that the club should step in now to ensure we don't win anymore games. Only point I was trying to make was they have stepped in as Cameron is in the box every week so they are there already over seeing. I also questioned how do you know he isn't doing exactly what they've asked him to do?

You are entitled to your pro-tanking views just as I am entitled to my anti-tanking views

We still want to finish below them, though.  They could get pick #1 regardless of whether or not they get a priority.  :help
