Is taken people a few days but u think they are finally staying to see it.
Looking good in a game that is nothing more than a virtual intraclub, with composite teams made up of players going 1/2 rat pace, is not a serious run let alone a qualification.
If BigH remains out, and they wheel out Charlie after doing 4/5ths of feck all, then it confirms to me they(The Club) are all about profit and not long term success!
I appreciate Charlie has to play some footy as a reward for effort, for his own wellbeing, but they can do that in the VFL where nobody gives a feck if he is permanently benched half-way through the 3rd qtr! If he gets so much as a sore follicle, they can bench him to avoid the next curse of quads or hammies after a knee injury, and ease him in over weeks rather than obliterate his efforts in a single frenetic game.
Of course that doesn't mean he couldn't come in and be an instant success, but where is the reward relative to the risk?
