Some big overreactions here. I expected this result, should've been 100+ loss, but that will happen to us against teams like Pies, Dees, Cats and Swans.
We're many years behind those teams who've built a system and got games into their kids and continuity in who is playing where.
Everything just went wrong defensively with adding McKay in and poor turnovers cost us but that will happen learning a new system.
I'd like to see Archer/Bergman/Goater/Perez over Howe/Shiels/Turner types but its a bit of a balance right now. I can see Clarko wanting to be more competitive with senior guys in this first part of the year so the group feels like they're in more games.
It showed our wing depth and speed/endurance is not up to it. We're gonna need 3-4 years of drafts and time to play those kids to 50+ games before we're ready to play finals. Enjoy the ride and get bloody excited about Comben and Sheez. And Stevo looks like a different player under Clarko.
