I saw him punch the ground in frustration when the siren went at Princes Park one day after a particularly abysmal loss, so hard did he find it to accept.
Punching the ground after a loss is great.
He didn't run defensively or tackle or take an over head mark for fear of body contact tho.
He may have been the best player in a crap side, but what u don't understand or don't get is that half assed defensive efforts from senior players sets an example for kids.
Do u think it's acceptable that some players stick tackles and others get brushed aside?
If we want to improve we need better leaders, win lose or draw, showing the way.
