The point he was making was that the real question is about development not about recruitment. Which again gets back to the point that the Bailey years were more than just a wasted four years. We're still wearing the pain of an underdeveloped playing list.

Conversely, Lyon also said that there was not enough mongrel in the players selected. That is, there were too many players of the same type, that is with skill, who he felt didn't have the necessary desire to push through.

Have to agree with him. Altho $cully is struggling to run with such a heavy wallet........

I took a lot of photos in the first two quarters. Mostly centre bounces and clearances around the ground.

It was amazing how many times we were behind our opponent at a clearance, never had a chance to get to the ball.
