I think we got back to playing favourites this year, more vfl guys should have been given a run though the year, eg Balta, stengle, bolton, markov, garthwaite, moore, townsend, miles, soldo, even coleman jones. This sends a message to all players you will be rewarded for performing at vfl level and all senior players are under the microscope every week.
We turned into flat track bullies during the year and when the heat was on at the selection table and on the day we were found wanting and were paraltsed into playing Dusty, Conca and Astbury, 2 were unfit and 1 was not up to it.
Dimma needs to go for a Harvard refresher course and we need conca, houli, grigg, b ellis, c ellis to be traded out.
Something didn't click at the end of the year, minor premiers afl and vfl and no silverware.
The stink is back in the hen house.
We lost it at the selection table and in our ethos during the year.
Agree, i hate to lose the way we did, but was it on the day or did we set ourselves up for this loss during the year?
