Simpson's was about as deflated as I've seen a coach.
It's pretty obvious they're undermanned...and it doesn't look like getting better in the coming weeks.
Only 26 available for training...so match committee/team selections would be a short meeting.
I think he was more disappointed with the effort, which has been mostly good... but the dam burst last night.
Simpson has substandard players and raw kids to work with. The experienced players like Hurn and Darling are finished and should have joined Kennedy in retirement.
Even some of his injured players like Yeo, Shuey, NicNat are too banged up to play a full season.
The AFL will have to give them draft concessions and allow them some extra players as they are just uncompetitive.
The only thing they have going for them is they are a cashed up club with a good membership but last night was an embarrassment for the AFL.
