I am going Saturday to see the younger players play primarily. Max, Soligo, Dowling, Taylor, Bond etc. This season to me has long since been about finals but is now all about development
I also hope they see sense and bring in Curtin this week. No more SANFL for him please.
The classic debut to hide behind?
Too many young guys - no experience excuse.
So we play our mid level players that have experience with shape etc … but drop a debut in there.
We would be better going all in with the energy and youth - would give us supporters something to cheer.
Lose with a team that includes players like Ryan - Curtin - Edwards - Taylor - Bond - Dowling - Nankervis - Cook - Thilthorpe getting full games … and I don’t think the supporters will care about the result.
But we need to nurture our list.
But we can’t throw them to the wolves.
But we need them to earn the right to pull on the jumper.
But. But. But.
But there are only 3 teams in the league worse than us so far this year… and I wouldn’t trust this current setup to beat any of them.
But this team of players and coaches and selectors have delivered a 5 year run of:
2020 - 18th
2021 - 15th
2022 - 14th
2023 - 10th
2024 - 15th
But indeed.
