Maybe, we’ll see. I don’t think this is the right time to drop Madgen. It frees up the creative defenders to do what they do best.

But if we throw in the towel, think of the amazing round 1 draft pick we’ll get!!
Just jumped on Tigers board for a look and I need to rinse my eyeballs with acid.
Seems they're more concerned with bashing Ginnivan which is a bit rich given they had the most annoying small forward in Higgins not long ago.
Funny thing is, tho, Pies fans seem to spend all our time rinsing our own players while other supporters spend their time rinsing the opposition. It's a funny thing...

Maybe 3. We haven’t tanked early enough…. Two teams have a massive head start on us

I'm struggling to see why. Madge has been zoning as hard as anyone. He hasn't been playing as a tight checker who takes the best tall, allowing more freedom for the others.

It'll take a while to fine tune things and get it right. But the earlier the better. If we start tanking now, we'll get our tanking right in the second half of the season.But if we throw in the towel, think of the amazing round 1 draft pick we’ll get!!
Love the selection intention this week, bald calls all round. Good to see Henry back in the fray, Jordy will obviously head back to the centre.
Didn't mind the selection of Bianco, I've been impressed with his last two VFL games, clean by foot and good score board pressure out put.
Richmond is one team you can go small in certain areas, they want the ball at ground ground level.

We haven't got the personnel to make bald calls all round. Sidey the closest. We're missing Ben Reid.

Alright, let's try this again.
Hopefully this rain washes of Castagna's shit tatts.

… which will lead nicely into our tanking next year and the year after …
… but as Melbourne have shown you’ll eventually win a Premiership around 15 years later!!
With NONE of the players you tanked for left on your list!!!!!
Yes, we’ll be in strife in either Moore or Howe cop an injury. Seems a very strange week to drop Madge.
Then again, we’re going in with one of our most high-skilled line-ups in memory. Nearly everyone a good ball-user - that hasn’t been the case for many years.

Yep, got the 'proper' winter coat out from the back of the wardrobe this morning. Its first game for the year.
You said you’d rather us win eight games with WHE out of the side rather than win ten games with him in the side.Please point me to where I said that?
Meaning you think we are a weaker team without him but that’s ok because in three years those extra games from Poulter and the better draft pick will make us so much better.

HAHA, what a stretch. I was saying we might lose games because everyone else thinks he makes an impact.
HE MAKES NO IMPACT. We will the same games if WHE plays or doesn’t.
I’m certain WHE has no impact.

I’m just baffled that he’s still in the team and he’s people defending him. Each to their own.

The problem with the Melbourne model is that they're not going to get any more high picks. I think they're stuffed.
Youre missing the part when he said to get 10-15 games into a kid. He wasnt sugesting we tank to lose games He was suggesting that we develop the kids and if that kid makes a few mistakes or does not contribute as much as WHE and we lose a match or 2 because of it, then he was okay with that.
Im with him in terms of developing kids as quickly as possible. But I also think that you can introduce too many kids and that if this happens it can be detrimental for their development. The right mix of senior players and kids is needed to maximise their development. I personally think WHE is a slightly better option then the kids listed by many to replace him and he may also bring leadership and help develop the kids around him. But I wouldnt be against a kid taking his spot. Im really on the fence with this one. But the coaches seam to love WHE and I dont see him being dropped any time soon.

Hahaha!!
They’ll have to console themselves with their 2021 Premiership trophy to keep them warm at night (and the 2022 trophy at this rate)
