We really are in trouble.
It's reality B4L, if I recall we talked about it as much in the Frankston Post game thread, the kid is not ready by a long way and people are desperate so they dribble sh1t as a solution!
For now, SoJ isn't the solution but that is not necessarily forever!
We need to put some heat on the older heads who are extending their careers at the expense of the youth, guys like Graham, Kerridge, Plowman, O'Shea, Mullett and we need to take some heat off the kids or we'll overcook them! Those four or five should be 4-Qtr midfield capable, they are not kids or newbies to AFL.
Another thing, in addition to the kicking and spread, as good as SoJ has been in the contest in the midfield at VFL level he goes to ground a lot, you can't do that at AFL level.
I want to revert to the Lions game at the weekend, every stoppage, every contest they did the right things, the sacrificial things. Shepherds, blocks, smoothers, 1%ers. We are almost amateurs in this regard!
