Previous post mentioned 4 of our first 7 wins occurred with Danger out there. That's 57%. It would be a stretch to draw any conclusions from that.

He's going to be the first man ever to take out a loan purely for Doritos if you go too early.
Probably don't tell CatToTheFuture & Willo_ while they're at work either, that's an HR complaint waiting to happen.

I didn't know exactly when i would need the liquidity but it turns out i have been paying ahead on my mortgage for 7 years specifically for this occasion.
With apologies to my children, it was worth it

Fascinating selections this week. I'll be disappointed if we don't see at least 3 of Neale, Conway, Knevitt and Humphries out there on Saturday.

It's funny, but one player who seems to have somewhat escaped potential omittion this week is Rohan
No doubting the impact he had in the third quarter - 6 disposals, 1 goal, 2 score involvements & a tackle to go with 38 fantasy points (for those interested in those things)
Then in the fourth quarter it was donuts all round with not a single stat recorded in the last, and considering he ended up playing 54 minutes for the match, that's a fair bit of time on the ground in the last without hitting the stat sheet
Anyone who's seen me post over recent years knows I'm a fan of Rohan brings to the team, and when he's "on", there's not many better at bringing the pressure or presence he's capable of, but the fourth quarter isn't good enough - should he also be in the firing line for tomorrow night?
Following on from that, IF a few of our recent losses had instead been close wins, I think we'd all "accept" the playing of the number of veterans we have been
BUT as they haven't been wins, I'd rather we start to see changes with the number of veterans in the team - not meaning we just dump them all, rather do we favour Knevitt on the wing instead of Tuohy as an example. And as we've seen Tuohy have impact in games but necessarily across 4 quarters, does he shift to the sub role & come on when the heat is out so that he doesn't give up the chase in the last?
We've obviously lost Hawkins after last week, but if the only other changes are say Mullin out and say Clark, it'd be disappointing while keeping the likes of Rohan & Tuohy around - I'd like to only see at most, one of the latter two named in the 23 come tomorrow night, and be happy if it's neither
(just realised I left a word or two off the end of the last sentence)

I'm not a melter in general but that would be rather disappointing.

It’s really a lucky dip with Rohan, he has that X-factor but when it’s not happening he’s horrendous.
Woo it is time for the HardiePartie

Bring in someone, anyone, just do something. And while they're at it, play Danger one-out deep forward. Everyone else get the hell out. Give Dons something to think about. Sure, our midfield stinks, but what's the point of wasting Danger in there if there's no potency up forward. He'd kick 6 (or 5.1) and the boos would be huge.
Or maybe
Or probably 1.5!

What about reversing the point
“what’s the point of playing Dangerfield up forward if there’s not potency in the midfield”?
Funnily enough, our forward line isn’t lacking in talent or ability, biggiest issue lately has been lack of service from the midfield - playing Dangerfield up foward isn’t going to solve any issues
Trouble is, the talent and and ability isn't being utilised by those who possess it. At least Danger is a competitive beast.
