After the last 7 weeks debacle, this simply cannot happen.
The club now more than ever needs to show that earning your dues gets rewarded and standards will not be compromised.
Love Rioli (nearly said Willie but caught myself), but blokes like Waterman, Rotham (who should have played against Freo), Brandner etc need to have first call on spots.

We have to get him to the end of the year because who flipping knows… its worked out so well for us so we have to keep doing it… season on the line and he was still getting rested in the last quarter when we needed him for some supposed magical burst.

Did Selwood get injured in a dead rubber?
I thought he did his ankle early in the season and then compounded it by not telling the medicos for weeks.
Probably the only positive we can get out of this game is getting this circus out of the way.

Dunno how much time he was off in the last (it didn’t seem like long) but he was on the ground for 75% of the game, his equal second highest of the season.
He's been training - so who's to say he hasn't earnt his dues?
Rotham would want to have had a blinder on the weekend - as he was absolutely terrible at AFL level for about 4-weeks prior to getting dropped (I think he is definitely an AFL player, but just had a huge form drop and had to go out of the side sadly).

Personally I don’t see how Rotham, a defender who’s not going to be picked anywhere else, can complain if Rioli is picked to play in a forward pocket. He’s not taking a spot away from Rotham. Or Brander.
Waterman or Jones might have an argument.
Disagree, once he has done his return the media spotlight drops off him significantly as their story arc is complete, we need to get this done and dusted so they can move on to the next story and he can move on without Lachy Reid chasing him around town all summer.

Out: My plans to attend the game.
In: Having a nice afternoon/evening doing literally anything else

I'll only be happy with this scenario if on Brownlow night we see:
3: Ainsworth
2: Nelson
1: Brander
If dogs beat Port, Brisbane will have little to play for, and with they’re finals bye moved back a few weeks, maybe they take it easy, or rest a few??
The only way we beat Brisbane is if
Shit
I don't know how to finish that sentence.

It will be like the 03/4 ambush of the Lions at the Gabba. They’ll never see it coming

They bought selwood back for his first game after recovering from an ankle in the last game of the season vs Brisbane.
Games didn't go our way and we were out of the finals .
They still played him and he did the same ankle again requiring surgery and he missed the whole pre season
People thought at the time we should of pulled him out as it was a dead rubber

ah, I’d forgotten that last bit.
Still, that’s needlessly bringing a guy back from a lengthy injury lay-off in a dead rubber. As opposed to playing a guy who’s played every game this year, and doesn’t noticeably appear to be carrying anything, in a dead rubber.

I'm oddly confident we'll put on a good showing. Even win.
This team seems to do all it can to piss off the fans, so I expect a good win to leave us with a whole lot of momentum to take into our 9th place finish.

We'll most likely finish 9th regardless of result, may as well win.
Before or after Mitch Brown gives away a free kick in the D50 in the dying seconds of the game?
It would be more fitting if we miss on percentage so we can have the annual discussion on percentage costing us again, then do nothing about it again next year. It just feels like the right thing to do.
It would be very on-brand for us to do this. Then we can lament our ironic ambivalence to percentage, as "the goal is to make the finals".
