Laj: Team selections are totally out of kilter with the modern game.
The modern game has been happening every year since footy was invented! What is the modern game? Depends on the team and opposition of the day.
What if we are in the midst of creating "the modern game" - a different style to everyone else that will win a flag. IFF we had the full list in form, we are building a pretty good side, and there would probably be a fair bit of excitement and a few more wins on the board. Our best 22 would still have Cas, Charlie, McKay as forwards with a couple of crumbers to keep the pressure on - Pickett, Garlett, Wright (egs only).
ATM, our worst enemy is our skill - dropped marks, handballs at the feet, fumbling balls in packs etc. and injuries - not making excuses, but we don't have any depth - we need our best 22 out there.
