I'm no fan of the Polson 4 Krooz selection, but notwithstanding that, this game is the reality check we needed, on several fronts :
- older players who have outstayed their welcome - sorry Simmo, the jig is up. If Clarkson was coach, you would have departed at the end of 2016.
- younger players who got way ahead of themselves
- coaches who lack flexibility and the ability to think on the fly
-selectors who roll the dice and fail
- teams who underestimate the opposition and don't give them proper respect.
Think of it as the "AFL recession we had to have."
Amid the carnage and the ineptitude, there were few moments here and there that showed something. Take this with the Tigers game and the JLT series, and there are things to work with, and also things to work on.
