We just need to play the like of McAuliffe, Smith, Green and Ryan. What have we got to lose. Give them match experience for next year. No point wasting time picking Naismith, McIntosh, Grimes and others etc etc. Our season is cooked. I want to enjoy watching the youth for the remainder of 2024. Having said that these kids have to compete and be hard in the contest. That's all we ask. You want to play AFL. Get tough immediately.
Kind of agree, to an extent. It's been proven over the years that it's better to bring young players through in competitive teams, rather than expose them to constant demoralising defeats. You learn faster in competitive games and situations. So you need a good mix of experienced players and young players, rotate them through in blocks of games if possible.
