We have mongrels that need putting down.I think my main issue isn't getting rid of someone for not having mongrel.
Its the way we are willing to keep players with mongrel even if they are lacking in any other hurt factor in their game whatsoever.
In the end defence is a non-negotiable and I get that, but you will always have players who have different skillsets. The problem we have is we focus so much on mongrel and end up needing to work 10x harder every game because of it (as opposed to having players that can just efficiently lead out take marks slot goals) meaning we're blown up by finals year in year out.
