Given the "Play the Kids" plan is a bust whats next? Obviously a super coach (like all of us) will have a Plan B, which in this case is pretty simple and just involves not playing any kids who aren't already shaving.
So Plan B looks like the following - we bring back anyone who can actually play a competitive and hard bodied game of AFL. Naturally these players from our list include:
Gaspar (we beg him to come out of retirement and offer a little bonus to assuage his hurt feelings)
Krakouer (of course - improve our bloody tackling if nothing else)
Pat Bowden (hard man on man marking and tremendous gut running)
Tivva (come back - dropping you was just a typo in the team sheet)
Kingsley (Ruck, take a mark whatever)
Hall (our obvious reserve ruckman - has the replacement hip operation fixed him up yet?)
Harts, Knobel, Brown, Cogs (we'll keep a supply of crutches on the interchange bench and prop them at FF)
I think that is it for hard bodies on our list.
This thread started out as a joke. The depressing reality of course is that we don't have many players at all to bring back - and those that we have we know might be serviceable but aren't going to set the world on fire. Other than these guys its just ever more numbers of rookies and youngsters who haven't proven anything much to themselves or anyone else. Anytime you want to know how we are going just count the number of combined games our interchange and emergencies have played in comparison to the oppositions.
Is this what bottoming out looks and feels like?
Welcome anyone else's suggestions as to a Plan B that TW can try.
PS. (Public whippings have been outlawed - except with the writteb consent of anopposition football club)
