Basically we have 2 elite players playing at the moment, and they are just on the boarderline of elite, IE I am being generous.

we have 12 players that are of an AFL standard

so of the 22 that go out every week only 14 earn their spot, the rest are either proven to be below an AFL standard, or are young and unknown as to whether they are good enough. NO wonder we havent won a game.

The rest of this year should be spend seeing if we can get some of these unkowns, known, are they good enough or not ?

Please Terry do not play any of the proven duds, surely the kids deserve a chance first.
