Team v Fremantle

"Smart"?? ...................... what's your definition of 'smart'??

Bending to the narrative of the media and bowing to their indignant, hypocritical pontification is not 'smart...........

Indeed - I would suggest it's the exact opposite.

Moment's like this we see if the RFC is truly a modern, professional, well led - cohesive organisation

To NOT play Balta this week would (IMHO) show that we are a team guided by chattering media politics

...... and that AIN'T 'smart' :(

Depends on the reason. It might not have been caused by media chatter, I'd agree we shouldn't ever cave to media chatter.

We didn't know the sentencing date until after the suspension though, so there's a chance we pre-planned to wait until the date if it was close enough. Transparency with Balta behind the scenes would be important if that's the plan.
 
I expect Balta will be the only in, if we make a change.
Probably for Bauer.

Need Kmac to play on Serong. Hugo should be an in but not sure for whom. Possibly Smith, Sonsie or Trigger?
Kmac can’t tag. What’s with this false narrative people are running with?

Or maybe it has nothing to do with any of the above and we simply say we feel he needs a run in the two's for a bit of touch and confidence this week because of the time out.
We also feel the likes of Miller and Blight have not done a lot wrong and Campbell Gray has put in a body of work in the two,s and this week we would like to reward that. You know selection integrity they keep talking about.
It would be correct imo.

Bottom line who gives a *smile* what the media think. It won't matter what we do they will criticise either way.
 
Jeez I would love to beat Freo. By 1 point.
With a kick after the siren, the fairytale would be complete if it was caused by a mistake from Shai, maybe he gets pinged with a 50 for not giving the ball back quickly enough or querying the umpires decision.
