Who stood up?
#51
I think with the list we have and the tactics we displayed so far, it's unlikely the fringe players get 24 games, it will become a horses for courses approach, finally we are in a list depth position to do it. For that reason I doubt and expect you won't get guys like Boyd, Fogarty, Kemp, Cincotta, Cottrell, Owies, Motlop, playing 24x7 throughout a season fit or otherwise. The MC will be judged on how well they are managed.

Fans often have messiah syndrome, they think somebody is going to front up and make all the difference. But the list  is built, the basics are in place, it all becomes a matter of incremental improvement, work ethic and some good luck. Many of the players who "stood up" did so because they were the right peg in the right hole on the day.

I'd have to say, it was the MCs strongest performance for the whole season, and that helped Boyd.

Totally agree with this - I swear I saw wheelchairs on the bench at some stage, our boys had been beaten up over the past month or so and it showed on Saturday.

Disappointed, but not gutted. We had a great season and expectation for next year has increased 10 fold.
