the claw said:did he or did he not perform admirably thru the pre season. based on his pre season he deserved a game. based on the limited time wallace gave him rnd he deserved another game the following week.
sheesh if we go with that attitude we will never give ant kid a taste.
to me the biggest hurdle to us playing kids has been the lack of big bodies in the team to look after the kids when they do get a game.
when they come in they are literally thrown in the deep end with no senior players to protect guide and lead by example. theres no cushy roles for our kids those roles in the past have been taken up by soft senior players.
at 205 and 105 browne is physically ready giving him a handful of games is not going to hurt ready or not.
Dont worry mate, he's done plenty of good things at Coburg. I'd say at the respective time, he's a long way ahead of Angus Graham, at the same age. Not to say he'll come up better, Gus works bloody hard in the gym and on the track. But, it's encouraging.
