Chad makes an important point about changes to the team from one season to the next. The team is basically rebuilt in key positions from one season to the next. There is no continuity of quality players because continued good form sees you promoted up. Players come back from the AFL down on confidence and out of form. The group really doesn't train together like an everyday sanfl team. It's a young group with rookies and junior players finding their way. So cohesion and group dynamics will take time and supporters should be more understanding of that. This was a terrific victory.
Agreed. We made some serious changes in the off-season, turfing players with significant time on the list. We've got a rebuilt magpies this year. To date, it looks like this team will also lose Ah Chee and Toumpas this offseason as well.
On the flip side, this very refresh of the list is what has sparked so much interest in the magpies early this season. There is clearly a marked increase in general interest so far this year.
