Righto.
Just making sure we are clear.
By would you screw yourself out of two talented youngsters?
Pj we'd be "screwing ourselves" out of ONE talented youngster NOT two..
But I guess it comes down to interpretation. I don't see it as "screwing ourselves" out of anything...as I've gone on record as saying, I'd rather win the last 4 games and finish 7.5 wins. OK it won't happen but I'd go to the footy each time hoping that we won the given match.
We'd still get most likely a gun in the draft and finish the season on a really high note, I know you can dismiss wins at this stage of a season but I see more value in them, this side needs as many wins as it can get together, winning breeds confidence..
See this where we differ.
While I admit I enjoyed every minute of today's game, we need a heavy dosage of talent from this years draft, and next years and the year after that.
We need as many picks inside the top, say, 25 as we can get.
While the system is certainly warped, we have to take advantage of it as best we can.
You want a win every week. Well, as much as we need confidence right now, we also need talent and I'd prefer short term pain for long term gain and if that means losing every game for the rest of the season to gain that Priority Pick, then so be it.
I think we both agree we need the talent.
I doubt we disagree on that point.
But where we differ is how we go about getting that talent.
You're more content in going all out and trying to win as many games as possible thus potentially missing out on the PP and only draft the one youngster in the first few picks, where I am content onn going to the games, focusing on the kids and hoping they improve each week and not winning anymore games for the rest of the season thus landing us the PP and a shot at either Ellis or Murphy.
Am I right on where we differ in opinion?
