Debuting kids with 10 mins left on the clock and the game is more or less lost is pure arse wipe behaviour

I've said this many many many times before. This is an absolutely poohouse football department decision. Why spend thousands of dollars on flying family over from WA getting them seats, accomdation for 7 minutes of football. Should not be debuting kids and making them sub, bad call.

Yep, pee weak and even worse, the kid may have had a better crack than several other players.
I’ll put a $50 note down now that the kid is dropped next week too.

Felt very sorry for the kid but I guess he got to pull on the jumper.  Probably felt like he was playing U10s waiting to come on for the last 5 mins.

Disgusting way to debut a kid.

All that excitement for the family and he runs around for 15min when the game is already over.

Disgraceful.

If anything you could have subbed him off if he was cooked.

It is a stuffen disgrace that our kids are getting treated like this on debut.  Last week Green.  This week Smith.  Others have been sub under Yze also. 

Yze is demonstrating to be a moron.  No true leader of men and coach would start a debutant as sub.

I hate it too but plenty of coaches do it. It’s not an yze thing.

Green was not the sub in his first game  ::)

But having said that I don't agree with kids in their debut game starting as the sub. It's pathetic

But it seems to be a thing for most clubs in 2024  >:(

What the hell is going on down there.

This kid every single week is in the best two or three and does everything asked of him. They reluctantly pick him make him sub and he gets two minutes on the ground and is dropped never to be seen or heard from since, despite going back and continuing to be named in the best players every week.

All this while horrid performances by Short and others happen every week.

Where are we at? whats that i hear? oh right rebuild mode where performing kids get a decent go.

Not at Richmond.
