So, my friends, even after 3 encouraging performances against Freo, and then the very good win over Richmond, all with a Wiggins-less team, is Denis still going to recall Simon to the seniors and give him a chance to prove his worth for 2006?
He has been playing well in the VFL, I grudgingly note
I don't think it's outlandish to suggest that Simon needs to play his best
ever game in the seniors in the last few rounds (should he get the chance) in order to save his head from the chopping block.
It would be safe to assume that if he is not selected again in the seniors this season, he is a definite goner, and whilst those may who post to the contrary will do so simply to goad me, I know that all of TC's "realists" will accept that, too.
I think the team setup we find ourselves with currently (featuring Simpson and Carrazzo in the midfield, where many of us have been crying out for ages for them to get a run) is starting to look OK.
I don't know if we require what Simon can bring to the team, which is..well......I'll get back to you on that!
So, whilst I'm off my medication (temporarily, my psychiatrist assures me), I will again offer an olive branch to those who care to withdraw from their ill placed bet, whereby, if Squire Wiggins is cut from the list, I am owed a free beer by all who took the bait (ahem........I mean
bet).
I
will collect on this bet.
