Beyond the lack of nous, the failure of cohesion and consistent thoughtful effort is the killer. Fraser was furious at 3/4 time about the faffing around between the arcs and sprayed em for it. But it was too late to get them focused by then.
Couple of things. Kerbatieh shows a bit but needs intense fitness and tactical coaching if he's to make it as he, like others, went missing after a promising start. Fraser either sees something in Korcheck or the brains trust does and he's been told to encourage him, as that's what happened. Gets across the ground OK, considering, but will need a few years yet. The Jones conundrum must do others' heads in just as much as our own. Either impressive or invisible. Not much in between.
Oh and Jake Bradley, of what little I saw of the last development quarter, wasn't out of place. Wish I'd seen the whole game. Pretty small and light but that's to be expected.
But look at the big picture, there's a god chance a lot of the fringe CFC listed players have been told their papers have been stamped - their career as an AFL player pretty much certainly over (in a lot of instances) even before it again.
In that circumstance, how hard would you be trying out there?
Finals, then 4 in a row!
