The club started the year believing we were contenders for a flag.

They were wrong.

Who should resign tomorrow?

Whoever sits on the selection committee for starters

Also Richard Douglas
Scott Camporeale
Ben Hart

We made a grand final and despite losing, went in favourites. I'd say it was a fair enough assessment.

People saying the list is there- as premiership contenders?

Are you ******* serious?

Contenders...yeah, close to. If you name our best 22, how far away from the best teams??
But on game plan and selection, yes, I believe we drop a few pegs, sadly.
If we had confidence, pressure on selection, dropped ur eyes, played as a team, had hunger... yes, contenders with the list we have.

I didn't believe we would, hence why I'm very disappointed not to see Jones, Stengle etc.

Hell I know Wilson got ****ed and drove a car but let's not punish him all season
 
Disagree, we were never contending this year. We misread the capacity of our list, the 'turn around' that old men would make, and our capacity to rebound.

This was a list that needed to be turned over.

You reward form, simple as that.

They've ripped apart SANFL games this year and get to stay there. You can't honestly tell me Jones wouldn't have offered what Douglas did the last 2 weeksm

McHenry before he got injured, Sholl started the year in ripping form, Wilson MUST play.

Jordan Butts deserves a game at some point.

Tbh can't see too many of them making a difference

I said drop Douglas but he really wasn't the problem our highest paid players in tex and Betts failed Gibbs another highly paid is out of form and we need JJ in form although he isn't highly paid

Its not solely whether they make a difference, although I'd argue they wouldn't do worse.

They need to be played and form rewarded.
