MEMO TO WALLETT. PLAY THE KIDS NOW

The difference is that Malthouse has a range of those midrange players at his disposal which allows him to bring in young kids, but still have a group to protect the younger bodies. We simply don't. Having said that we are bringing the kids through at a reasonable rate at the moment IMHO. I am pretty sure we will see appearance from JON, Jack, Casserley and a couple of others sooner rather than later.

Gus, you have nailed it, that 's exactly correct. When we see the likes of let's say young fragile Nathan Krakouer and we scream how can he play, he's is too skinny, the reason he can play is because he has a group of strong bodied players to protect him, same applies to Cox & *smile*.

We as a team fail in all the categories to protect, for instance, we don't have anyone to go in and belt the opposition, we saw last Friday night when West had his elbow in Jake King's mouth, Johnson did sweet F.A, sorry I forgot he's got a broken hand......................give me break Richmond.

JON might well be in this week Gus, otherwise he risks missing footy for quite a while - he must be already in for mine - it is just a question of who won't get up and already knows it?
 
Well, well , well.

How did the kids go today. Really showed a thing or two.

Great efforts by cleve, tambling, deleido, king, mcguane, raines, jon and others

Next week bring in reiwolt

We saw what can be achieved

The new generation has started.

The future loks brighter. Some senior players(the game has passed you)

Richo just let him roam (ruck rover ) style.

START LIFE without Richo being the main focus. Let him now enjoy his football without the pressures of being the n# 1 focus

Proud of the kids today
