A player isn't a plant. You can't sculpt it into the perfect specimen nothing but effort. Some players just have a low ceiling, and just won't make it in the AFL regardless of who coaches them.
Who else does he pick? Those positions, the cupboard is pretty bare. The team still has to try and win, playing 4 first gamers might not be the answer. Those players mentioned are s**t for where they were drafted.
