I'll throw something in the mix here and say this. What ingredients in life generally makes ordinary people/players more switched on, more quickly?

Don't have to go far back do we. I can go back to 1970 though.

    It strikes me that over many years there have been no examples of lesser known players having both a break out game and then progressing at that higher standard.

    Weideman had such a game against Geelong in the finals but, notwithstanding a bad run of injuries, does not appear to have maintained that form. Others like Brayshaw, Spargo and ANB exhibit good passages in flashes but do not maintain that form either within a match or over several matches.

    Those that are identified early like Oliver and Petracca reach a high level of performance quickly but never surge above that level although that level is maintained. There seems to be a "class ceiling" that hovers above our team.

    Better coaching and development is the only answer. Let's hope the addition of Yze and Williams injects the required coaching expertise.

    You didn't see Trac last year Tiers??

    Better  get  some highlight reels you will be amazed!!!

    His spot is  in jeopardy for round 1 with Kozzie back and Chandler outplaying him.  Might even get Melk back too.

    Whose spot?? Melkshams is IMO.

    Read the whole post. Tracca was not a lesser known player. We always knew he was good but needed time to mature, to find consistency and to build a team around him that would allow him to shine.

    Tiers you stated Trac reached a high level of performance quickly and that was a ceiling  Sorry  Trac 2020 was about 40/50% better than 2019 and before.

    And believe Clarry  will be This year to another level judging by his practice match form.

    Is spargo out of contract this year?

    Nup got 2 years to run. IMO if he gets a game on what he showed last week then we are in deep strife. Daniel's completely towelled him up in the first q last week and if his job was defensive pressure, I would be asking a lot of questions.

    • AFLW REPORT: Geelong

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
