The actual conundrum as I read it is as such :
We're not going to be 'coherent' until the better, and fitter, 22 are playing.
That might not truly occur for 5-6-7 who knows weeks.
By then we've given away considerable advantage to many teams.
its a bit like running the Stawell Gift as a backmarker.
That in and of itself is not the problem. If you're good you will shine. However as anyone's position and success is dependent on others our success is not entirely our own to decide.
Catch up footy....never goes too well.
