Professional teams would take advantage of that inexperience, about a 1/4 of their team had less than 10 games!
It wasn't a good night for our MC or Coaching panel, not purely because of the tactics, in fact I think if not for our unforced errors we may well have won. I think if we'd had SpecialK and Murphy we would have certainly won. But we certainly failed to expose the Dogs youth, in this regard we failed.
A few of us have been shouted down on here about MC selections, McKay, SoJ, O'Shea, why it took so long to play Kerridge, how can it be Kerr isn't getting a run. I wonder what the naysayers think after last night?
Young SoJ is becoming a real problem for us, we have his back apparently, perhaps because of his dad he's getting games he does not deserve! Opposition teams have identified his opponent as a gateway for lots of their ball movement, that is a tell. He's lost that strength and aggression he showed in the first couple of years, if he is carrying an injury how can he develop under those circumstances, if he mentally shot what are we trying to do to him?
Can anyone seriously look me in the face and tell me that if Kerr come in he'd be less effective?
