If | you had your time over again ... |
then | you wouldn't have played Sloane after he damaged his foot in round two. He could barely walk by round four, hasn't been sighted since, and could yet be out for a while. |
If | there comes a time to just win a game of footy ... |
then | it's this weekend against the Dogs. Wouldn't want to go 0-8 with Hawks and Swans to follow. |
If | Charlie Curnow is among the ins ... |
then | no matter the odds, you're a chance. |
If | Darcy Moore wants to get the Swans really excited about the possibility of him joining them next year ... |
then | he'll be best-afield against the Cats on Sunday. |
If | you knew Joe Daniher had signs of osteitis pubis and you selected him to play in three games in 11 days ... |
then | we're wondering why. |
If | you're a high-profile footballer in Perth ... |
then | we'd suggest you provide your real name to police when asked. Brad Hill now added to the off-field issues that are beginning to suffocate this club. |
If | you want some guidance on class ... |
then | trace Tom Hawkins' movements between Friday and Monday. Inadvertently did the wrong thing, owned the action, apologised for it, copped his (right) whack, moved on. |
If | you're glass half full ... |
then | the Suns are going OK. Finally, some system. |
If | there's one thing we thought we'd never see ... |
then | it was big Jonny Patton being axed for a crunch game. Anyone for a 198cm, 101kg Giant? |
If | you look up journeyman in the dictionary ... |
then | you'll see an accompanying picture of Brendan Whitecross. Got the late, late, late call-up last weekend for game No.1 of 2018, and game No.106 of 11 years as a listed Hawk. |
If | Jayden Hunt can't get a game at the Demons ... |
then | there will be a lot of clubs who will be offering him a regular one at the end of the year. |
If | Brown, Wood, Waite and Ziebell fully "click" as a forward line combination ... |
then | look out. Wood the X-factor with a big, fat, capital X. |
If | you stand for what you tell us you stand for ... |
then | you beat the Crows. Or at the very least be gallant in defeat. |
If | Dusty has been going through the motions this year ... |
then | he'll need to do more than that against Jacobs on Sunday. |
If | you want to turn your season around or, at the very least, get everyone off your back for a week ... |
then | have an old-fashioned, man-on-man, accountable crack against the flaky Dockers in Perth. It's actually very doable. |
If | he's always been the coach's pet ... |
then | Will Hayward can forever entrench himself in that status with a four-goal return against the Hawks. |
If | Tom Hawkins was all class after his Tribunal appearance ... |
then | Nic Nat took class to even higher levels after his. Mesmerising on the field, even more so off it in front of a microphone. |
If | Bont plays ... |
then | we'd be surprised. But then again, he is as tough as he is classy. |
If | you don't immediately sort out and standardise the goal review system ... |
then | you stay wide open to the amateur-hour assessment of it. |
