I". I agree with the general sentiment here that the Crows make earning a spot in the best 22 too hard. That's what I see as the problem, that we demand too much before we give significant chances. That we make earning your spot too high a mountain to climb.
And that's the crux of it. We often hear NC say that a young player will be expected to come into the team and perform immediately, that no concession will be made for age. Is this dangerous to a player's development? It's a case by case basis, but I think the example of Taylor Walker shows that it can be very dangerous.
