One of the things we like to see as each new season starts is that little flash or glimmer where a player will do something we haven't seen him do before.
It's an indication that they've taken a step forward since the previous season.
A couple of slick passes and a bit of speed in a rundown chase by Silvagni is an example.
Jack looked set for a good year and hopefully that shoulder injury isn't as bad as has been suggested.
The problem for players like Dow, O'Brien and even SPS, is that over the seasons we haven't really seen that change to a new level.
You could take last night's performance and there wouldn't be a lot of difference to any of their games in their previous years.
They tease with an adequate (sometimes even good) performance now and then but it's often in a low pressure game.
We need to see that extra spark (many of us believe it may be there)....but it's becoming less and less likely it will occur.
