It seems that the correct statement would have been something like:
“The list is ■■■■, the coaches aren’t even getting the best ■■■■ out of them, but we maintain hope that we’ll pull something out of our ■■■■ in the next 10 weeks to make finals. If not, we’re going to nino the whole list and football department”.
I hope the club always thinks the season is alive until it’s mathematically impossible, but play a team with an eye to the future. They’re not mutually exclusive ideals.
Quite a number of this group give me cause to pause and reflect.
Our Ollie Wines dream is over for another 4 years at least.
The Jaegermeister was firmly in our targets and if the AFL had applied the same rules as it did to our fax machine, the Hawks should have been out of time and we should have got him in the pre-season draft.
I think we were even into Selwood but we went for Gumby instead because we needed to replace talls.
