This side is a complete enigmatic mess.
We’ve fallen to the point where trying is enough for, and I mean this politely, potatoes like Langdon to get semi-regular games.
Yet those entrenched in the side seem to get selected without consistent effort nor application. Sheed and McGovern (vice captain, what a joke) - I’m talking about the likes of you. This in turn feeds into our desire to reward players who try but aren’t good enough into getting games.
It’s like we’re stuck in the nether zone and it’s hard to see how we escape from this pattern. Vicious cycle of mediocrity.
Agree and it's hard to see that changing next year, if we go into the season itself with the same "credits in the bank " pile of sh1t philosophy at the selection table.
Harsh reality is that it's time to hit the draft hard over the next few years, brace ourselves for a couple of lean years before we emerge withy some fresh talent and an invigorated list, thats the only way that we can break the cycle.
My only concern ( and it's a major one ) , is that I have lost all faith and confidence in the drafting and recruiting team.
