Sheik, the tell has been coming from the club officials and senior players for a couple of weeks. Why wouldn't you trust the comments coming form Bolton, his assistants, Gibbs, Kreuzer, Simpson and Murphy? They have all pumped up Daisy in recent weeks.
It's just that supporters are biased by past performances which they cannot move past.
Nobody inside the AFL takes the JLT seriously, even the media beat it up but they know it means nothing. Cripps highlighted that fact in the video posted on the club website, in one JLT game we had a dozen first season players on the field at the same time, that's another tell.
The only thing that disturbs me is the skills, or apparent lack of skills, that is a development issue and not related to pre-season matches.
