I suspect you'll have more than something in a few hours
to not lose to the drug cheats in round 23 and to kick goals instead of points and not choke against lolingwood would be a good start
and for Ashcroft to be given the year off I know its not going to happen but he is way to important to have another Doedee and I know it happened during training not in a game

See you on the 9th green at 9
We need you to go full sacrifice and allow us to beat you by 100

I want Logan Morris to play every game for the rest of the season.
Only one game, and we've likely left our run too late, but I dunno, that was probably the first I've watched us this season (even taking into account that 100 point win) where our game just seemed to 'click' a bit more.
We looked a lot more like 'us' again, a top 4 level team.
Good contributions across each line, solid tackling and pressure, Harris doing what he does, tall forwards looking dangerous and Lach dominating in the middle.
On the downside Charlie probably the only 'A' grader a bit off, but he's too good of a player to not find form eventually
Also very noticeable with Mckenna (despite best efforts) distributing off the backline in place of Kiddy.
It may not be our year, but I'd reckon most teams in the 8 would be spewing to play us first week of the finals if we managed to somehow sneak in
So assuming we don't go all the way, what do I want for the rest of the year? To cause some serious carnage and take down a few old foes on the way out.

He’s certainly not going to be dropped on form, so the only reason he’d not play is because of injury or being rested. He also looks like he can run out games easily with his current role. It’s not like he’s being inserted into the midfield yet.

So my default setting is that with 7 matches we have already failed to win so far this season, the most games we can win is 16. That many wins were required to make the top 4 last year and so that remains what I want out of the next 11 games.
Last year, a record of 17-6 was required to make the top 2, so on that basis, top 2 is no longer achievable for us.
HOWEVER
After 13 games last year, 2nd (that was Port at that stage) had a record of 11-2 @ 117.0%.
This year, after 13 games, 2nd (Carlton) has a record of 9-4 @ 109.8 - significantly inferior to 2023.
This means that provided we are able to string some (ok, a lot) of wins together, top 2 may still not be out of the question. Particularly if we are able to beat the sides above us (probably all of them) along the way.
Having said all that, this is far too optimistic for my standard modus operandi
so we will probably continue along in a similar vein, dropping unloseable games before shocking everyone with a once-a-month performance like what we saw on Friday.
It will leave us in, at best, a maddening scrap to squeeze into 8th spot, which I have absolutely no interest in, UNLESS at least 6 (I plucked this number out of the ether) of our players would be playing in their first final. I think they would benefit from the experience. Otherwise I don't care. I do not believe a non-Victorian team can win the flag from 5-8.*
So as far as I'm concerned we go hell for leather until we lose another game. Then, once we lose again, we start rotating the team a bit more, giving senior team game time to Sharp, Brain, our 3 mid season draftees, Henry Smith, and might as well give Kalin Lane a Hail Mary as well. Spend the rest of the season throwing darts at the board and who knows, we might hit a bullseye or two.
*The one exception to this would be if Gold Coast made the top 4 and we were to play them in a Semi or Preliminary Final. This would break up our travel and make 4 wins in September ever-so-slightly feasible.
