We can't be getting it wrong all the time, can we?I think it is some cases it is a combination of bothReckon some of our youngsters have question marks over them. Good example is O'Hanlon I am not sure about him! Therefore not a fan. Obviously I don't see in him what others do. I see a bloke who when under no pressure looks Ok but when under pressure looks slow not only speed wise but decision making wise with average skills. I then see kids who at VFL level look a million bucks but when they get to chance at AFL level they play like they if they make a mistake they are going to get dropped. Great examples are Helbig & Batchelor. Last year Helbig played one game in Perth. Played "nervous" like he was worried about making a mistake. To me that's a development/coaching issueI see a lot of talent in a lot of our kids eg McBean, McIntosh, Elton but they all seem to lack something to get them to the next level. Again to me that is a development coaching issueThen throw in this on going issue of gifting AFL games to favourites then you have kids losing belief that they will get an opportunity. That is clearly an coaching issueTerrific, just terrific?

To me that's a development/coaching issueI would argue it was poor leadership. It's the leaders job to make a kid feel as though he's good enough as well as comfortable on the field. We definitely have poor leadership.
Mark Stevens on Ch 7 said Jake King only had 10 possies today and gave away a few 50m penalties and that Vickery didn't do much either to earn a seniors recall. Richo said Williamstown is not a fun place for tall forwards to play at given the terrible windy conditions.
The heraldsun today running with the story that Vickery answered the call and stood up?
Is the Herald sun asking the question or telling us that's what Ty did?............If its the later I think this herald sun journalist mistook the Sunshne George cross V Ringwood city Whilemena game for the Tiges game
