Gardner should have been dropped. His form hasn't been so hot that he can afford to make a blue like the one against the roosters. Flanno's right, it cost us the game. He's started making the sort of poor decisions, that if they continue, can make him start to second guess all of his other decisions. Once you make too many bad decisions in a game they can haunt you. Rather than have that happen, drop him in order to save him from himself. He can play his natural game again on a smaller stage, and then have a pre season to sort himself out before the first grade pressure cooker again next year. I reckon it's good player management. Just like giving Mills another taste of first grade when it doesn't matter is good management.

good call. they may all seem like nothing now, all these little spurts of inclusion in the team, but it will pay off so much next year and in time to come. will be good to see mills running around in FG again!

happy to see Gardner and Stapo dropped as their mistakes cost us the game.
Good to see Collis/Williams retained and Besty back. Chad's and Frizell's move back to NYC is definetely needed for that team.
Hopefully Mills has learnt to defend.
