So if I understand this correctly, bad form in the seniors will be rewarded whilst good form in the VFL will go unrewarded?
Think I get it. Different approach but whatever works.
That’s a skewed way of looking at it
We are not dropping young players after one or two bad performances, we are giving them a block of games. Only 23 players can get picked every week.
The alternative is to chop and change every week and drop and elevate young players weekly based on one game.
I'm still far from convinced he can make it. His first 3 games were terrible and he's now in his 5th year on the list. That said he played well yesterday and earned his spot. Hopefully he gets some great confidence from that and can put together a run of games with form like that.
Confidence. He got better the longer the game went. I saw Him & Sony running up and down the G. They have a good bloke to watch and learn with Tarranto.
Yze has already said he's going to give him a string of games while Hopper is out.
Dowie is a slow burn f'sure and I am still not convinced he's gonna make it as the player we need him to be, but....
I liked his persistence yesterday after rolling the ankle.
Particularly a couple of times when he red-lined the ball in a sea of Saints; emerged without a stat but his involvement was important.
It was his turn and he went.
Like several of the young blokes, no question he is a beneficiary of the Yze confidence coaching style, and Hoppers absence is giving him continuity.
Graph still trending up.

Just not strong enough. Get's brushed aside way too easily by the opposition.
Would be giving his minutes to Mcauliffe.

Had the most pressure acts of any player in the side (25).
Works hard defensively & was looking pretty sharp before rolling his ankle.
I'm not sure he'll make it but he's not completely useless.

Makes way for Bakes this week for me. And McAuliffe to get an extended run.
Graham can have the vest. Sonz gets another full game to show his wares.
Dows had a good run of games time for another youngster to get a run at it.
But. If Dow makes way for Bakes. How does another youngster get a run????
Well FMD. How did my replying to craig's comment suddenly get another line and a bit in it?
