What bothers me the most, is the clear lack of readiness the list was at, at the start of the year.
The skill level has been below par and only now, 7 weeks in, it's starting to resemble my start of year expectation.
I've been very impressed with the Roos, and it shows that if your foot skills are sharp, and your players understand the game plan, even with injuries or key forwards missing, you can be competitive and win.
Rather than taking on the challenge and stepping up, too many of our list bowed their head under the 'injury cloud' and didn't play their part of professional footy.
