Its irrelevant what teams we pick now with just this and next week to go.
Things like giving McIntosh and others send of games is the go.
The truth is if half that side doesnt change for next year then development will totally stall. Injuries seriously curtailed development of kids this year we don't want that to happen again.
As should have been the case this year minimal older blokes just because they have experience and play our most talented kids as much as possible with just enough experience around them.
Would like them to think outside the box a bit more and find ways to ensure as many of our kids are playing as possible. Things like trying Brown and Campbell on the wing. Lefau as a mid, Smillie across hb and Hotton and lalor as mid forwards and Balta as a second ruck/utility.
Next year we need to play sides along these lines.
Vlastuin - Miller - Trainor
Smillie - Gibcus - Banks#
Campbell - Taranto - Brown
Nankervis - McAuliffe - Lalor
Hotton - Faull - Algar
Mansell - Lynch - Armstrong
Sharpe #2 hopefully at this stage. - Hopper - Broad - Balta - Pick #3 highly skilled quick more outside than in. - Lefau as a mid/utility.
Outside of some younger blokes not named imo the majority of the rest are superfluous to needs and are the ones we need to improve on.
Can put up with lots of losses if its with good kids but not if its with ordinary players like we constantly have played.
