Now back to THE POINT.
Cripps was beaten, he needed help.
Who from the side that was out there has the experience required to stand up and say 'follow me' and cover for him?
Our best bet was a bloke who was famous for having the nickname Humphrey FFS.
Can you see a problem with this picture?
No Simmo.
No Daisy.
No Murphy (opinions aside, he'll at least give the boys a spray and a rev up)
No Jones
No Docherty
No 1031 games of experience available between those 5 players to rally the kids.
Krud, you can’t continue to defend week in week out. Sometimes things are not as rosy as you want to believe they are.
You can make excuses to support any argument. They had 6 of there best 10 players out, are average at best yet we looked awful and never fired a shot. And the players you list excluding Jones and Doc are 3 guys that most like them one week and want them retired the next.
I agree we were too young but where we differ in opinion is we are in year 4 of a full rebuild and if it was done in balance we would have enough depth to allow cover injures to the older blokes which as we know you need to expect. Furthermore the drop in levels week to week is just too drastic. Add that to the fact we have won 3 games in the last season and a half and I understand why so many on here are pessimistic.
Our list build is miles out of balance age wise which as a by product gives us no cover.
We have a list of kids with a handful of older senior players. And the senior blokes we have are only just going too. Nothing in between.
