Nah, we didnt lose cos Fletcher played...we lost as per planned by the selection panel. We can all say it was a master stroke to play Nicnat in the ruck alone versus Hawks, with Lynch helping, cos the Hawks have no ruckmen! The board knew this, they also knew that Melbourne DOES have good ruckmen. The decision to not play Seaby was definatly a ploy to allow Nicnat to get pasted and "learn" from the loss.
I have no doubt that the selectors said "lets lose this game for the good of our future". this Shytes me to tears, i dont give a rats about the future when i am watching the game, it just makes me fume when i know we should have won the game!
Also, the rest of the team need a rocket up the clacker for the piss poor accountability during the game. Bloody awful game, it was like a bunch of Brent Stakers were playing for us!
they are a bit slower out in bunbury arnt they?
