We lost... Our finals campaign over... But is that a good thing?
Well if you think on one level, no, but im thinking on another level here, in the fact that Dean Laidley can and should now STOP focusing on the 2003 Finals, even if we did make it, making up the numbers, we dont have the team to create a Premiership presence. But lets get some young blood out on the pitcvh in the last 3 weeks, maybe a couple of debuts in Urch or McIntosh, but definatly get Colbert back in, I believe he is ready. Maybe a Watson, Smith or Jeremy Clayton [BOG in VFL this week]
I think Clayton, Shane that is... Burton both need to step aside for the next 3 weeks, and Harding may need to get some confidence in the VFL, and get Hale in for the ruck.
This can be turned into a confidence where as the finals is ot f reach, so the mindset is on developing, which is alot more important long term!
