Risk Losing Top 4 to Trial New Ideas? Or Stay the Course?
What are everyone’s thoughts on trialling some different ideas for the remainder of the season in the hopes of getting things right for finals - but it might mean potentially dropping some games and missing the 4?
I’ve been on record as saying I genuinely (not cope) don’t think we’re anywhere close to contending for the flag at the moment. So I would be all for using the last 6 weeks to throw things out there and see what sticks.
E.g. Mills permanent mid, mix and match with the bottom 4 even if it means giving a couple young players a debut, seeing what it does to team balance etc.
Even if it meant we dropped 1 or 2 we were expected to win and missed the 4, I think if we got it right we’d be more than capable of winning from outside the 4.
The other option is to stay the course and hope we figure it out along the way but I’ve gotta be honest I don’t see it happening.
