A couple of questions.
1. How many players does a club need who can go through the midfield rotation and make a genuine contribution?
2. How many do we have?
Yes, we have a number of young players still developing a fitness base/tank and that will take a couple of seasons.
But I do wonder about several of small forwards who don't seem to have the versatility to ... or haven't been given the opportunity to ... contribute on the ball.
We are asking a hell of a lot of guys like Steven and McEvoy.

Re: Last quarter fade outs
I know a lot of people on here don't agree with me but I think PA's rise this year is more about Hinkley and burgess their new fitness guy rather than some magical maturity in draft picks they have accumulated over the last 4 years. Self belief and superior fitness go a long way.White Winmar wrote:OTC showed a ladder based on last quarter "wins". PA were first with 11 wins and 2 losses. We were 17th with 2 wins and 11 losses. Even Melbourne is ahead of us on this score. Fitness and conditioning staff, please explain. That is an abysmal and unacceptable record.
Life is never more fun than when you're the underdog competing against the giants.
