Make Cerra captain next year. Any of the old guard have a problem with that they can @#$%&! the @#$%&! off.

blood the kids, binns, cowan, kemp, dow for the rest of the season. give cripps a month off to get right, then get him out there to smash it up and raise his trade value.

start looking for our next coach today. new list manager and fitness are needed too.

At the very least play Dow so we dont get stockered like last preseason at least get some draft pick for him if we let him go

Not to bag you Frank, cos I totally get where you're coming from, but the finish as low as possible for a good draft pick statement is half the reason this club is where it's at. For far too long we asked for this to happen. Now losing is so engrained in the club it's become the cultural norm. Look at Hawthorn. They were expected to struggle to win a game this year. Who was going to get pick 1 and the prized kid? Instead they know how important creating a winning culture is. They've knocked off 2 of the top 8 in the last 3 weeks. There's nothing better to build belief than having wins like that.

The season is shot, yes. But building for 2024 starts with winning some games of football and starting to recover the belief in this group that has been shattered. I think we are underestimating the effect that the last 4 weeks of 2022 had, especially rounds 22 and 23. Shattering defeats can devastate the psyche of a team.
Look at what's happened to the Swans. And they were at a far higher level of performance than we were. Now that this run of losses has happened, the self doubts that lingered have become overwhelming.

The only way to create belief is to win games of football. Draft picks mean @#$%&! all

I've been saying this for a while

Play Silvagni in defence
Honey as a HBF
Plowman as a win/HF
just to see if we can unearth a player

Binns Cowan need to play.
I'd play Mirkov as well
Cuningham Marchbank to see if they can stand up

My personal opinion is regardless of contract Curnow Fisher O'Brien Dow Marchbank Philp Honey Fogarty Plowman must go at years end
I'd also be happy to trade TDK McGovern & Cripps as we must address our issues around Picks and the Salary Cap

Is Dow still a kid? I suppose you could argue he is based on his lack of physical development over a number of years

Agree, he should be given games in the starting 22

he's only 23.

physiologically males don't peak until 27. Im not saying he's him. But dane swan didn't start averaging 28+ disposals and being good until he was 28.
