We may not have won but I do think these performances had merit to them given our injury list and the disparity between the teams.

In principle I don't have an objection to Calitz, however the exclusion of high performing domestic talents like Tim Tector, Sam Topping (who is like Calitz a keeper) or John McNally sends a dreadful message of CI's attitude towards its own youth system. This is compounded by Jordan Neill getting into the squad, if he's in then it can't be considered a matter of too young or not enough proof of talent; so what is it?!
