Willmoy1947 4,261 Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 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. 1 Quote

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!!! 1 Quote

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. Quote

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. 1 Quote

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. 2 1 Quote
