'Fraid I cant see where Duffields article is wrong?? He identifies we had a crap year in '16...and its hard to get a line/trend out of '17 thus far. Its partly a rebuild, but partly not. He identifies that old blokes were/are kept in, and not all the young blokes available have played much. If it is a rebuild, well....bloody well rebuild and throw the young fellows - the future of the club into the frypan, and see how they turn out.
We cant be 'half in' or "half out" on this. And yet, at the half way point, thats exacty where we are at.
The blokes who are no use going forward, (Suban, Sheridan,sutcliffe, d. Pearce, Griffen, and probably Zac Clarke) shouldntplay again this year, and everyone that is the future should play. And be prepared that Johnno - and maybe Mundy -might not make the end of the year. Both look tired, Johnno is looking slow.
Dont care if we get flogged. Happy to call it tanking. Happy to call it a rebuild. Happy to end up near the bottom provided we do it for the right reasons (unlike 2016)
Just do it, and as Duffield says, "Walk the walk"...we seem happy enough to have "talked the talk"
