Not that I really care at this stage but if we'd beaten @#$%&! Adelaide...

I always wondered if that loss would come back to bite us.
Be 2 pts clear in 6th instead of 9th on %.
But probably wouldn't matter as we'll lose our last 2 anyway.

It’s better for the players to be playing finals as much as possible, it’s the only way they will learn to win finals.

We’re not Essendon*.

Bit harsh. He'll also bring in Wilson or Lemmey but start them as sub and bring them on with 8 minutes left in the last quarter.

What really sucks is that we will take three players to WA as emergencies who will all miss the last VFL game of the year just when we need to be getting games into them in case we do make the finals.

Potentially Marchbank and C Durdin will end their careers as a travelling emergency.

Both Durdins are out injured, aren't they?

Our emergencies will probably be work experience kids. I'm available.

C Durdin played a full VFL game on the weekend, but was mostly invisible in what was a big win.

Marchbank missed due to concussion, he will be an emergency for sure.

WE have no choice but to play the kids.

We need to replace 5 injured players: Lord Carroll Binns Durdin and Young are next men standing.

Losing Boyd and Saad from the backline means there's only one running back man to choose from the VFL: Billy Wilson.
Wilson is an apprentice and only 19yo. maybe he is picked ahead of Durdin or Motlop?

If selected Motlop will be playing in front of family. He doesn't deserve it imo. Too young and too slow for an AFL small forward imo.

Cupboard is bare.

My air conditioner broke today. Two grand I can scarcely afford. Never been a gambler but putting 800 bucks on the Eagles seems the smartest idea I've had this year.

Crazy odds if you ask me.

Now $1.65 to $2.25 however I still can't see how we could possibly be favourites.

Motlop will get picked. he’s a MC favorite on account of him sometimes showing some X factor. same reason Cotts and Cerra were rushed back. picked on reputation not form.

Honestly, if we can somehow get up, this will be one of our greatest wins in history, all things considered.
