'Climbing out of the hole'

Sheeds pretty much concedes the rest of the season in this article, but tells Bombers fans to hang in there because they're going to be playing every kid on their list to see who can play.

-Appeases supporters (to an extent)
-Lets the kids on Essendon*'s list know that when they get their chance they'd better have a crack

It's not that hard to be transparent.. Don't have to lie to your supporter base to tank..!

I like the theory.

Give all the kids a run, and make it known that a fair few of them are playing for their place on the list.
