i thought it was interesting who was in the leadership group this year - Frawley, Byrnes, Garland, Grimes, Trenners, Clark, Dawes, Jones and McKenzie - how many of those players showed leadership in the one arena where it REALLY counts yesterday? Id say 3 and that is beind kind.

While I don't disagree, it's a bit hard to tar Dawes and Trengove with that brush, given they weren't playing.

Ditto with Clark. A bit hard when you're stuck at FF, with the ball rarely venturing forward of centre.

Those I'd mark incredibly harshly: Garland, Frawley and especially Byrnes. Was signed SPECIFICALLY for experience and leadership. None to be seen on yesterday's effort.

Frawley has forgotten how to defend and seems to have lost his closing speed, to busy trying to get a cheap kick out the back.

His decision making is ordinairy also.

Maybe a confidence thing but he needs to lift and set an example on field.

McKenzie, Byrnes and Dawes says it all.
