Long winning run? This playing group? You used the word miracle, couldn't agree more.

we do not need to tank, we manage that without actually trying.

Laidler is injured, I think 4 weeks out.

Bring in Watson, Graham, Duigan & Menzel

Have to beat the Saints this week as almost a formality, but it won't be the case for this sorry lot of players

Tanking is part of why we're in this mess.

We will win based on my theory honourable losses usually result in a side being satisfied and being flogged the week after.

Hoping for a red hot go Saturday night,
Re adjust my team due to some injuries,
IMO,
Tuohy Jamison mcInnes
Walker Henderson Gibbs
Simpson carrazzo Lucas
Armfield casboult garlett
Betts Mitchell menzel
Kreuzer judd murphy
Robinson graham yarran sub; Buckley
Mitchell has 8 games to see if worth keeping,
he deserves a chance before a call is made on him
Menzel, Buckley, graham and mcInnes should play
the last 8 games.
Will be very upset if we don't turn up, especially
with all the media bashing.....

According to the channel 7 news tonight, Kosi wont play but Milne definately will.
No excuses this week, we have been bashed all week from all angles so it will be interesting to see how the group respond.

We will come out breathing fire. It will last for all of 8 mins and then we will assume our usual position against the Saints.

Last time we played them, was it Jack Stevens who got something like 40 possessions?

Can we please put one of our 10 taggers on him please?

..tanking can work, but you need to have a good base/core and 'fall into it', like the pies did and the hawks did to a lesser extent.. ..but when you're coming off such a low base, tanking only gives a boost.. ..we were coming from so far back, that tanking for a few number 1's, not doing much else draft wise, and then going big trades [judd, warnock, mclean], just wasnt the smart overall strategy..

And they got Pendlebury and Thomas. Two gun players

Tanking didn't work for us because we went after the populist choice, not the best choice. Flowering lazy recruitment
