I'm not claiming to be an oracle.
I'm not suggested i am 100% right, 100% of the time.
That doesn't mean i am incapable of being right.....and i am not alone on this.
As an example...
Plenty on here were calling for Dow to be picked throughout the year.
The public, the media, the supporters.....everyone.....except the MC.
When the MC picked him, he did well...he did so well he kept getting games.
He did so well, that he is now a trade target when previously he was top 3 players to be delisted.
Full disclosure, i was NOT one calling for Dow to be picked, but it appears the wisdom of the masses were correct in giving him a shot.
Myself and EB have been on the same page with this stuff for a while....and a few others seem to be as well.
There is more than 1 way to skin a cat.
For this lions game, perhaps there was nothing we could've done to make a difference......but perhaps there was. We'll never know.
I think i've been pretty clear from the pre-season my thoughts on team selection that are specific to OUR team.
I voiced those reservations ad nauseum, including before the Lions game.
It panned out as i expected. Maybe its coincidence. Maybe its dumb luck. Maybe if the game was played tomorrow it will be different.........maybe it wont.
You, and others, point out that we lost because we tired and busted....and sure thats an excuse/reason/whatever. You know what, our 2 points of view are not opposites.
You all know my stance on Pittonet. I've been pretty vocal on Harry underperforming as well.
You know what i would've done....
Dropped Pittonet and played Jack.
Pitto was tired and busted, more than anyone else out there. Getting some fresh legs, more run, more pressure from his position would've made more difference than most......and he was one of our better talls on the night.
