I like McKenzie but not on Rohan. Hopefully we start with whoever quelled him last time after his destructive opening quarter. I think that was Burton.

Will losing by 100+ points have an impact on Ken’s future?
Can’t really turn a blind eye to 4 losses in a row with losing margins of 50, 47 and 100 to 3 teams outside the top 8 at the time.

sucking a lemon
who cares about winning or losing? right now all that matters is Boaky gets to 350 and you sign up for next year
How's the work life balance of the players?

If that happens then Collingwood may be playing the other prelim at the Gabba. Could be interesting.We are 100% going to finish 4th beat Collingwood then lose a home preim by 8 plus goals
We need 2 of our last 4 to finish top 4, with three of those against teams still in the finals hunt. I think it'll come down to the last game against Richmond, which thankfully at least is at home.
Unfortunately the home EF against the Crows rears it's ugly head as a possibility again. We could have put that to bed last week.
.
Pretty sure it was still McKenzie after quarter time. Just changed his approach to defending against Rohan.
JHF will not start down back: that's just a filler for Farrell's now vacant slot.
They will flip JHF for DBJ or Bergman. Wines and Drew should both NOT start in the guts.
Before Dante needs a spell, we need to hit 'em with speed, From the first bounce, start with both Rozee & Butters.
Then rotate one with Drew or Wines off the wing, where Butters can drift into the high forward role.
The Geelong site has flagged Rohan with a crook ankle, maybe his jab will be less effective the longer th game goes on.
Is it going to rain heavily?
Bomb it long to … lord
Bomb it long to … lord
We don’t need rain to bomb it long, that’s the plan regardless of conditions atm
Bergman with a groin.
Marshall has only jogged for a couple of weeks - groin?
Finlayson probably going through hell.
McEntee's role is forward defender and niggler.
Frankie slow but good for a goal if he can get the ball.
Ollie carrying something, probably shoulder.
Etc
Have been playing Hinkleyball forward entries since the break. With no leading from the forwards, can't or not part of Kenny's loser plan.
Will probably win by 10, goals.

The irony
Hinkley has always played injured players, especially players he considers key. The issue is the injuries become chronic. Hinkley takes no risk with the players. BULLSH*T.
Heard the reasoning on triple m yetserday with dits and roo discussing it. Made me so angry.

I can't believe the reasoning.
Nah club will spin it as brave loss whilst announcing ken’s signature for another decade.
Ooft. I take back my optimism from earlier in the week. 10 pages of this thread and I’m ready to call us the next west coast and throw myself out the nearest window.
Pretty sad that injuries are once again going to * up our chances. Definitely seems like poor player/injury management could be largely to blame.
Such a damn shame. I was really convinced at one point this season we’d turned a genuine corner - not just in our performances, but in our mental toughness too.
But the wheels are officially off now.
