Plenty of hidden gems in the State leagues if you look hard enough..
That first part is a big part of Teague's success in recent weeks, the question is probably why now, why did it take so long for these blokes to think for themselves? (btw., I don't know about your thoughts on this, but I'm damn certain AFL teams can't significantly change game plans and tactics mid-season, which means we are implementing stuff we've worked on probably since the pre-season and doing it better or just exposing it now!)
The second part is about finding gems which is good if you can pull it off, and I suspect watching the VFL last weekend Cottrell will be another long term bonus. Long term he looks like a Simmo replacement in the Simmo / Hunter mould!
But to keep reality in mind, and reality is in recent weeks the GWS recycled types have shown why they are still playing AFL. Those little failed AFL starts are almost like a filtering mechanism, provided you can cut through the excuses and find the truth about individuals!
SOS needs a pat on the back EB1, we have to give credit where credit is due!
