Quote:Reality gives you a smack in the face sometimes. I think too many have been reading fly boys posts and had too large an expectation on this season because they think blokes that have shown a little bit are going to be seasoned performers. In reality it takes seventy games to show someone's stuff
That's an 'average'. Plenty of players perform vey well indeed well before 70 games...
What was witnessed yesterday was deplorable on many levels - skill, effort, intensity, lack of leadership etc.
If you don't have high expectations - in whatever walk of life - well you aren't going to get far..
I'm happy to chalk yesterday up to an aberration - both by the players and by the coaching staff.
Finals, then 4 in a row!
