West would be vice captain.

Who will be the sub? McNeil? I think the match committee has lost patience with Jones again.

I think so.

This week really is no win for the club from a PR perspective.

Play well? That don't impress me much. Play poorly? They are what we thought they were and the narrative continues.

It's a bit of a sad place to be with only 2-weeks to go when you are actually IN THE TOP 8.

I think many parts of last season are skewed by the 2nd half of the elimination final and - whilst Carlton collapsed, we did play well enough in the last couple of weeks to secure a position...and whilst there seemed an outcry of support for the Blues who 'just' missed out, no-one seemed to care the year before when we WON our last game but still lost our top 4 position due to the Lions passing us on percentage largely due to fixturing...

As I think I have written on every thread this week, the club is certainly in a challenging position right now and there really are no right/wrong answers...

2021 last game: we lost by 2 points after keeping Port to 1 goal at half time. A bit of strange coaching, another capitulation.

Thanks. My mind is clearly letting me down...appreciate the correction!

[Rocco Jones]

Wouldn?t Naughton be CHB? I do not endorse this comment.

Yeah I was going to put Naughts CHB.

Yep, that's what happens when you kick the can down the road after 2022.
