No question he deserves it but more due to form from previous seasons as well as loyalty.
The problem is, will he get picked for many
games and will he be captain ?
Cant see him happy in the 2s.
Our injuries are huge and for the most part the reason we lost.
What concerns me many of the players you mentioned like anb,hibberd,jetta and weid have been playing way below their best.
Also premiership teams usually have the ability to cover a high ammount of injuries.
Obviously not as high as ours but what this year has highlighted for me apart from good players going backwards which you mentioned is our lack of depth .
We have too many average players and few ageing ones. Jkh and Lewis are 2 in your list. Most were playing yesterday.
I would genuinely like to know how injuries and zip chance of making finals is a vicious circle in that players like gus, fritta, tmac, viney etc (good players) effects their mindset and motivation.
Are they struggling due to accepting this year is a bust?
Is lack of skill from lack of of motivation since 2019 is dusted?
Yep other clubs see us as soft and we are.
Its not just the injuries for me its the fact t hat Tmac, O mac, Viney, Gus, oliver, Garlett, Jones have gone so far backwards.
Spargo is funny.......just waves is arms around while Garlett pretends hes interested.
Feel sorry for Max who is the only coach one with any heart out there today.
