I haven't seen any of the game, but I note in the stats that three of the first four highest disposal getters were first year players in M Jones, Viney and Terlich. Could it be that the players on the list pre-Neeld were so badly developed that they just don't get it? "It" being level of commitment, fitness and gameplan? That doesn't excuse the coach - it's his job to get the players to do what he wants. But I just wonder how much damage was inherited and how much is being added right now.

Completely right, in my book.

People underestimate how bad things had got.

If you go further down that possession list from yesterday, you'll see Nate Jones, Howe and Sylvia, but basically the rest of the top 10 have less than 20 games (Evans eg).

Of course we are behind GC - we are actually more inexperienced than them, despite that being Neeld's choice.

Evans is an interesting one he seemed to me to be busting a gut till eventually he just gave up like the rest of them; he ran to position and was ignored he chased and fought hard up till then.

I like evans - i like Kent (his instincts and run), Matt Jones, Terlich and Nathan Jones and Viney. I think Gawn will continue to get better, I'd still back Dawes in... Don't like how our forwardline operates - just lacks structure and work ethic - I always though forwards were supposed to present - seems like they are always behind their opponent and that the mids kick too deep therefore they are always trying to mark running backtowards the goal.

Just need a man-on-man match simulation and some bruises.
