Burning out kids
How about developing them in the beginning so they dont get burnt out.
If we choose Miller as a rookie what would he cost? 100k. Id rather 2 development coaches instead that can teach these kids how to
get the job done.
I remember once i heard the Pies have 1 development coach for every 3 players. Now whether thats true im not too sure but we lack in this department and im not convinced a Miller recruitment would help.
Did the Pies do it with Dawes, Beams and co
Did the Hawks do it with Buddy and Roughy
Did the Dees do it with Watts and co etc etc etc
Perhaps you explain how developing kids helps prevent burnout, unless of course by developing you mean not having to play them against the men untill their bodies develop sufficiently?
Chris Dawes drafted 2006
debuted 2008 playing 6 games
played 4 games 2009
played 20 games this year.
beames is not a KPF
franklin is freak who was big enough to hold his own early on. was his poor form in 2009 due to burnout?
roughhead while not overly solid was not a lightweight either. helped having franklin to share the bullocking work.
watts has been nursed along as well. Hardly has been expected to be a central figure in the forward line at this stage.
dont know about these co blokes, never heard of them..
except hawthorn these sides had mature bodied key forwards which meant the young guys did not have be rushed.
Isnt Millers role going to be as much coach as player anyway?
