Ok after re-watching the tape
Team B - should have won by 8+.

Harry Mac 3 rucked well covered down the line and caused problems up forward
O. Hollands 3 gut ran up and back, great defensive cover some critical tackles
Florent 2 great positioning played sweeper role smart.
Cripps 2 one slashing quarter
Matty C 2 very effective with his posessions, handy marks needs more strength to stay in more contests
Ison 1 looks very polished, excellent ball use touched my arse.
Billy W 1 will be a handy player when he gets over "fear of Fing up'
Cowan 1 tough, flexible player in that he marks well for a mid sized player and a long kick but needs to use it better.
HM Haynes (got better as game went on), Hayward (needs to finish his work).

Pull up socks required...MacG (looked hesitant), Kemp, Cerra, Williams, Walsh (keeps getting caught).

It would bloody hard to get the state worse then it is now so well worth the risk to give another oarty a go.  If you dont replace the current party as your concerned you may get worse well using that mentality you wont be getting out your bed in the motning for fear of what may happen if you leave the house.

spin this ine anyway you want they need to go.

same as our coach!!

I'm sensing there are a lot more correlations than you would immediately think between the 2.

I haven't voiced my concern either way on the matter.

Just noting biases and expectations align pretty well.

All comes down to the 'can't be any worse' line of thinking. Which, personally i think is very much the wrong way of thinking.

As an aside the 'can't be any worse' when talking about our coach/club is laughable....considering we are NOT bottom of the ladder....so clearly CAN get worse.
Government is less clear cut, but very much similar. There can ALWAYS be worse.

you are playing with words again - of course in most situations even the worse situations  can get worse but its a figure of speech that when things are so bad you need to change even if there is a small chance of it getting worse as there is a much bigger change of it improving.


yes we could slip a further 2 positions on ladder so you say ‘could be worse’ ignoring the fact there is 15 positions above us we may just get to by making a needed change.

So we also should have kept Austin too as we got jagga under him and could have selected a dud.

ridiculous reasoning.

I don't think anyone can predict our number of wins from here.
A lot depends on how we approach the games.
Do we want to go all out to try and win as many as possible, which in some respects would be counterproductive.
or
Do we want to spend the rest of the year evaluating the list, trying players in different positions and getting games into youngsters.
It may be a combination of both.
seeing jagga in tears after the siren on saturday with the boys tells me go all out for wins, worry about the draft capital later.  We'll get walker, one more player wont help or hurt us significantly but being crap will.

Its funny, this mirrors a lot of peoples thoughts in regards to our coach.

This guy is 'no good', so anyone else MUST be better.
Be careful what you with for.

Jim can.
He has it all worked out.
It simples.
Only reason we won was because Voss wasn't coaching.
He's said it all year.

So i'm trying to see if these mighty powers of him work with foresight, or is it just hindsight.

Bottom line Lods is we always want to win, as long as evaluating the list is done on merit I’ll be happy.
