I guess you could say that we were warned. I can understand why were ended up taking the chance, but it didn't work out.
If he is on our list in 2019, that would be a disaster. I hope he only had a 1 year contract.
O'Shea, on the other hand, might survive, even with his lack of performance. He does offer leadership to our kids, especially at VFL level. He does what he is asked to do to the best of his ability, and he is the message we want to send to the VFL: if you are good enough, we'll take you!
It is only our horrendous injury list that has required him to take roles he isn't really capable of. And he still put in: he simply isn't good enough for a long term option.
I would like to drop a few guys back to the VFL, but with our injuries, it simply hasn't been possible. Hopefully we can manage against a team with similar injury issues. At least we should be more competitive than last week.
I really only meant the short list for this game, next year is a whole other issue!
