its funny, over the years we have a constant tirade from claw against average players who milked every last drop of what limited talent they have, yet i cannot recall one critique of a talented footballer who didnt get the best out of themselves.
I know which type i have more respect for. None of us have any say in how much talent we have, but in terms of effort and hardwork to simply be the best they can, everyone is their own master of that destiny.
Ron barrasi once said something about not being proud of how talented you are, but what you achieve with that talent.
Claw perhaps you would enjoy the football more if you didnt have expectations of creating an All Australian quality side -it just doesnt happen. all teams, even the good ones, have average battlers, but with the right players and coaches they fill their role. There have also been some absolute hacks play in premiership winning sides.
Just look at how sharod wellingham has performed going from a top side to a middle of the road side
You would probably also get more enjoyment if you didnt think that your views on how things should be done are the best and only ways. All this does is create the more than apparant angst in you when Richmond doesnt do things your way.
lifes too short......
