The RFC guys aren't better off playing elsewhere. He means a young kid trying to get on a list. I'll be interested to see young Clay McCartney how he goes games wise. He won't be a walk up start each week to get under recruiters noses. I wonder where he goes? Can he play TAC as an overager as well. Beats me. Maybe he'll be allowed to play as that 23rd player crap the VFL do. \
Claw - you left Darrou off the list which makes 8 kids.
Then you've got guys like Griff who need leadership and direction because he currently has no effin idea how to get the pill himself let alone try and lead the young group.
At the end of the day a lot of guys that missed out on being drafted will want a weekly game which they can get elsewhere (either other state league teams or back at their TAC team as overage players). We don't have the ability to promise them that as we need to play our guys first and foremost and adding another bunch of kids to our group of inexperienced players isn't going to make a very good team.
The VFL team seems to be constructed to win on a weekly basis to teach the young kids about actually winning. Hopefully in turn allows us to play our young KPF's as KPF's and not have to send them kick chasing down in the backline like at Coburg. Was pooting me no end the way Griff has been developed, hopefully by winning we can hold our structure and say goodbye to those days.
tigs i fully understand. i just think we could gain some sort of inside advantage by taking more players 24 26 yo who may even offer something on our list proper. why do we have to take soooo many vets.
look im talking about blokes like sully who i would have gladly given a rookie spot to. caimn mirra sundberg maybe a bit old now but there are heaps all in the right age btracket all good state league players and all with some sort of chance of being rookied.
im not saying no vets just why so many when theres plenty of good mature types about the place,
i think we have shown in the past a willingness to at least rookie players in our system who show even good traits. this at least should be what we are prtraying thus enticing players to come to us.
