When I watched this a few weeks ago I was curious as to how many there are on their list So I looked it up.
27 on their first players list and 22 on their under 23 list.

Maybe. But i reckon Australian Cricket team would have heaps of hangers-on too and they would have a small squad and where fitness is a secondary concern.
BTW, not saying we have it right. In fact, one of the things that will come out of all this is the demise of the superfluous hanger-on.
Have to disagree on the individual vs team aspects TBR. Players are highly disciplined in football and have specific roles to play depending on attack, transition, contest etc. Teams also play different formations and can change formations depending on play phase as well. There is a strong emphasis on individual technique - dribbling, passing, heading, tackling etc but I'm not sure it would be that much more than Aussie Rules technique in handball, marking, passing, ruck, spoiling etc.
There is the old joke about the striker who was lax about running back to defend - the manager says "Are you either Christiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi? No? In that, case *smile* defend". At the top of the very top some players might have total free reign, but this would be very rare.
Agree that busier game schedules probably mean less actual time coaching. More games probably mean less time required for physical conditioning between games, plus games are shorter and distances run mostly shorter too.
What saved the series for me was Tony Dalton as Lalo. Creepy, yet charismatic and funny. I like Nacho as well. Jimmie McGill is almost the least interesting person on the show for me these days.
Interesting twist with Kim's character development. Don't really buy it personally.
Pretty good finale though.
Except our coaches have copied a lot of strategy especially defence from soccer.
But take your point Gerard Feguson never felt the need to travel to Mlb to learn from Clarko the Magician or the great Sheedy.
i couldn't agree that post anymore as though i had written it. I find the mexican drug cartel story line more interesting than the Jimmy story line in isolation even though they are merging. Love Lalo and Nacho characters too. Although props to the writers for the gradual downward spiral of Jimmy's character; although, and this may be deliberate, he has become less and less likeable.
I wonder if they will have a final series of Jimmy in the future (or a final episode dedicated to it).
It's good tooheys. There is also a 20 minute special on the making of, also worth watching
Episode 3-8 were leaked. Watermarked, time marker, at Screener quality (think DVD). Decided to wait for the official releases.
I watched number 3 with a focus on Dennis Rodman, good episode but the time stamps etc are really annoying. Waiting for the genuine eps to drop now.
It was fantastic jimbob. Great insight into a world that's rarely seen. Loved it.
After Life next.
It was a pre-2017 Richmond type ending. Unfortunate.
I couldn't help looking up the results for this season. The league has 7 rounds to go. Not sure if they'll complete it but Sunderland is precariously perched for a series 3.
I'm really enjoying the Last Dance but it does jump around all over the place - not sure the structure is as good as it could have been. this week Rodman was playing against the Bulls, then playing for them, then taking 48 hours off due to Pippen's return and then back to playing against them again.
