100% guaranteed Hardwick looked for this notes at half time in the 2020 GF to see what Caracella said to do the year before, and when he could find them started texting him to ask what to do.

Listening to Hardwicks press conference today, I sense we definitely have one eye on what we will do next year. A sense that there is still another tilt left in us.

Finals this year is a bonus. But an opportunity to get games into the kids first and foremost.

Seeing as we,re not gunna make the 8 I guess you’d want to come 13th and be in the bottom 6 so next season you get a more favourable draw? Hit the draft, trade well, maybe grab a FA and go again 2022.

Unfortunately absolutely spot on.
There is no prize for 9th as most on here would know.
Falling into 8th spot but winning at least one final with a senior squad in good health would make it worth whilst, but losing an elimination final or finishing 9-12th is not a benefit to our long term cause. Once it becomes mathematically almost impossible to figure prominently in the top 8, we simply send our workhorses in for repair and recuperation and continue playing the kids.

Expect that draw rule to change if we finish bottom 6.

Refuses to drop Cantstandya and instead tips out the young guys we need to get games into. Cant make the tough calls!

Yeah I didn't like that Dow and RCD went out.

We need to pump games into them and see what they have.

Think we're going all out to give Jack a win in his 300th. If we win one more game for the year, I hope it's this one.

On the other hand, after the last Brisbane game I'd like us to drive them crazy with off-the-ball niggle. They're contenders, we're not; they can't afford to whack back.

Dimma has been a great coach but the last couple of weeks he’s been frustrating to listen to.
