I like that Barks said he wasn't into honourable losses. Good stuff. It was an honourable loss but so what. We want to be into winning.
There is a palpable culture growing in this group and it is a culture of sustained hardness that we've not seen from our club for many, many years.
Boekhorst is probably the only 'kid' who really worries me, but perhaps this kind of game didn't suit a 'one-way' outside player. Serious doubts over whether this high pick can make it. Has to learn a lot and change a lot to be a part of the culture that is growing.
We only lost this game due to terrible, fundamental errors and missing a few key blokes. What a pity Juddy didn't get to play in this culture, he would have torn it up.
Hard to cop a loss but I would rather our future than the Dishlickers.
