Whether we do or not when you're in with a shot you have to go all out for it. The best development we can have is to be playing under pressure each week for a possible finals spot even if we miss out. Play it out to the end. And even better for development if we were to make it (I think we might narrowly miss with an 8-9 record and rue the Melbourne and Port losses). All those players have played games so there's no need to blood them, they can earn their spots. It's not like other years now.
Whilst I agree in theory, the reality is when you've won 4 of 10, winning 6 of the next 7 is extremely unlikely. Those close loses and big turn arounds have cost us the chance Im affraid.
