I mentioned before that when a team is playing well and are on top of the opposition fringe players can look better because the support is there to give them extra time to execute or cover their deficiencies.
When a team is facing a better class of opposition struggling players who aren't quite up to it are exposed because the support isn't there.
Team-mates are more concerned with their own responsibilities
It's why players can look a million dollars against an Adelaide but duds against a Geelong.
There are a group of players, though, who do the opposite.
When the support isn't there they just raise their own efforts and take their game to another level.
They're your elite.
Your A-graders
Your champions
Your Walsh and Weitering types.
