The kids will get a shot with injuries throughout the year but I’m a believer in them being ready so you don’t kill confidence and them earning a spot. If they are good enough in whatever role they may keep their spot
Lol it is not happening just look at the selections of Castagna Aarts, Parker. Lok at all the moves to new positions to enable favorites to continue to get games instead of playing a kid in his role.
I tell ya what we are quick to give a kid the arse who has a bad game but favorites can go for weeks with immunity.
Im interested in just a few things. Finding players who may replace the oldies and then finding ways to get games into them as a priority.
If people think we are going to be premiers this year then fine play all the oldies but that will come at a cost.
If we cannot win a flag then we need to target our biggest areas of weakness and areas of little depth and do something about it.
We aren't winning the flag and at seasons end the old boys will not be old but approaching ancient in footy terms. The trouble with that is there will be an ever bigger chasm between the vets and the youth as far as experience goes.
