Rubbish, it's all between the ears.....

Fixing that takes time.

If that's true then one day Tutt will be up to Selwood standard through sheer hard work and fixing problems "between the ears", and Liam Jones will morph into Johnno Brown.
It's that sort of wishful thinking which does us no favours at all and only perpetuates the situation we find ourselves in.
By the looks of Weitering and young Curnow we may have finally got the draft somewhere near right, but that doesn't alter the fact that 5 of our recent first round picks are no longer at the club in Lucas, Yarran, Bootsma, Watson and Menzel.
There's a heavy price to pay for that sort of incompetence.
If we'd only got two of them right, Talia for Lucas and Isaac Smith for Watson for example, we would be far better placed, but it's been a total wipe out and our second and third rounders haven't been any better.
There are only so many players like Tuohy who you can fluke as rookies, when you screw the National Draft to the extent that we have you're left with second raters and rejects, and no amount of work "between the ears" will make good players out of them.
