Aarts at 27, blows me away.

Plenty of list management needed here. The key is timing.
Go Tigers!

MRJ Two games last year were two of the most underwhelming games i have seen up there with Samson Ryan.

Gee 2 kids who have been described as long term prospects. Get given games way before they were ready and despite you harping on about giving kids games you have to complain that they were "most underwhelming"

Seriously, make up your mind! Games into the kids or not? You can't have it both ways. You wonder why posters get frustrated with your posts.  :help

I agree with Wilbur. You’re quick to lay the boots into others or players but don’t seem to recognise your own failings.
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Im actually have a good old chuckle at this.
So lets revise what i said. First a bit of honesty his two games were horrid and gifts, for that matter he did little in the two's and he got two games on reputation. If you think im advocating kids at any cost then you gravely mistaken.

The only thing im advocating is when they show a bit play em. Especially in front of blokes who have been around for years and god knows how many games but are still the same.

Play our kids when they show a bit and nearly all have. If we have a chronic weakness in the ones then fmd try a kid.

We are not playing kids except when injury hits thats it mostly. Yet here we are an ageing team who cn only go backwards but cannot find a way to get games into younger players. Dunno what you call that but it smacks of delusion imo.

I can put with losses with trying kids but the same old poo over and over ? that sets us up for long term pain.
