Clear thinking Cheesy.
First task ...get a finals berth, can certainly do that with Darcy and Treacy back in.
Next...Keep everyone on the park, and get Pearce back?
Then give finals a red hot crack!
YOKAI!
that didn't really work on the weekend
Thanks Bob.
Quality guy.
And...?that didn't really work on the weekend
You can't apply it after the fact...
So for me... from now, its wharfie time for 2-6 weeks!
We will know when it's time to stop!

If only we hadn’t lost 5 matches after being in front
Let's be honest who could possibly predict what’s going to happen in the last 2 weeks with any certainty.
There is still a twist or two to come.
Like I say we beat GWS and Port lose the showdown all of sudden we are potentially playing Port in the last game for 4th.
There are so many possibilities and it's foolish to look at whose playing who and just assume the higher ranked team on the ladder is going to win because that's all that ladder predictor experts actually do in the media.

It’s a pretty easy calculation, beat GWS and blues lose to WC and we are guaranteed a finals spot.
Let’s be honest that ladder prediction is fair enough and we’ve only got ourselves to blame for being in that situation.
Almost feels like we’re coming ninth in a seven horse race tbh. Really disappointing.

Ninthmantle was not something anyone was expecting 9 days ago when we were 25 in front early in the last quarter against Essendon - 1 goal away from burying them out of the game.

Obviously it would be great to win @GWS but more importantly WCE beating the Blues gives us the better shot in the last round at home against Port.

Mentally I think we’re a far better chance of winning against port if the season isn’t on the, I think that will be too much pressure on our players and they’ll shit the bed again, upset underdog win this week followed by another the week after when we know we’re playing finals seems far more realistic to me
Well no point in playing finals then if it's "too much pressure".

I think it’s different pressure, especially if we are not expected to win, the fact we were top 4 and expected to win the bombers and cats games got to us, the same pressure would apply with the whole afl world talking about us losing our last 4 to drop out of finals, once we make the finals that will be released and no one will expect us to get past week 1, that’s a completely different head space to “we can’t shit the bed again”
Spot on our best 22 can beat anyone.
But going in with an unfit Darcy and then Voss as a second ruck has cost us dearly the last two games, especially with Jackson below his best.
Give a genuine ruckman in Reidy a go FFS!
He can't go any worse and who knows he could lift his intensity playing in his first game.
Was gonna say the same, the unknown and mystery around a player can be more tempting than reality - just look at Brodie.
Undoubtedly the selectors have got it wrong sometimes but that's the reality when you make decisions - you don't get them all right.
Would love to see Reidy given a go, even though we know ruck is a very difficult position for young and inexperienced players. There is some risk attached to it, but there should be some flexibility and contingency planning around the sub and Reidy playing forward.
He was shocking then. But we’re losing in the ruck with Jackson there anyway so Reidy gives Jackson a chance to actually impact the game further up the ground. He can’t mark either but he does a much better job than Taberner as a forward.
