It's been proven that the second year blues for most AFL players confirms that they have a year of poor performance. The reasons vary but they certainly include the fact that the opposition have had one years worth of homework to do on them, BUT the main reason is a psychological one, that transcends AFL, and reaches into all other sports, and that's the complexity of trying to perform at a level where you had your freedom, free from any thoughts of pressure. See golf for example. AFL is the headline case for an individual player going missing during his second year. Now, we have one team going through the second year blues that should be ready to explode next year. They'll have a new coach too after Sheedy has put in place what he was charged with, and that was to set the players / club up like the Baby Bombers era.

Get on to Great Western Giants next year. (see Gold Coast's improvement this year)

And David Hayes Euroa trained horses.

Both the above are the keys to the mint !!!!!
