TW plays the kids.

[Bill James]

If, as widely reported on this site Edwards and King debut this week. RFC will have only 7 players on its list that have not played AFL football. With Jack a big chance to play sometime soon, that will drop to 6.

Geelong is the only other team with 7, all other teams have at least 9 with the highest being Sydney with 15.

Those crying out for TW to "play the kids" need to take a deep breath and give him some credit for bringing the kids along very nicely, without a lot of gamebreaking support from senior players.

Delidio and Tambling are clearly preforming in in the top half dozen from 2004.
Pattison and Polo have shown more than was predicted by many here when drafted.
Meyer hasn't starred but has had opportunities and shows potential and needs some self belief
Howatt has already done more than most Rookies
White similar
JON seems to be developing, consensus is he needs some more body to play the position most suited
Casserley hasn't had an opportunity to show what he can do due to injury.
Graham is 200cm so the neural passages to his legs won't full develop for another 5 years.
Hughes see Meyer.
Class of 2006 look encouraging at least half of them will play senior footy this year

"Play the kids" = "Think of the children"

Given all this talk of us needing to play the kids like the hawks i had a look at the kids
on both lists and funnily enough our kids had played more games than theirs..Maybe someone
should tell G Lyon this...

Maybe you should write to him or something.

At the moment we've got too many nervous passengers.

[Tigerfan]

[skiptomystu]
