Hi Guys,

As a first point I abhor the concept of "tanking" for draft picks and under no circumstances should we not attempt to put a winning team on the park and try to win every game.

In addition we shoudl cherish teh jumper and shouldn't give out senior games unless they are deserved (although some, including myself are of the opinion that we have been doing that for years Krak, Tiv, Fleming, Nichols the list goes on).

Nevertheless it is the responsibility of the selection committee and the coaches to act in the best interests of the club going forward. For mine this would entail the following:

(1) Get the most number of senior games experience in those players that we believe are part of the future.

To me that means that:

Cleve Hughes should start the next seven weeks at full forward (IMO shows more than Jay *smile* already
Jack Reiwoldt should start either at CHF or as the third tall for the next seven weeks
