Did some good things, but was just swamped. More of a forward anyway, but it doesn't hurt to teach players to play i other positions. It was the catalyst of the 84-85 teams and is still a vital part of the game today.
A break from what? He aint ready.
Wasn't directed at your comments.
He is not ready, but we have to play these kids now. We played a host of them in 1997 when Hird, Alessio etc went down and we blooded players like Caracella, Hardwick, Heffernan etc and look where that took us.
It's a disgrace that he and Magin are out there playing. It's no fault of the club. Our hand has been forced. We simply do not have enough players on AFL lists anymore. They should forget about expansion, and get increase list sizes by at least 4 players per club. Guys like Pev shouldnt be retiring, while Magin who is the size of a jockey is asked to compete against developed AFL bodies.

Could not possibly agree with you more. We do not have the resources to field 16 teams, let alone 18. Our drafts are very thin, except for the odd one every 4-5 years that is rather deep. We should strip it back to 14, have 42 on the list so we can have a stronger competition to the one that is currently up.

Thats way to logical - which means it will never happen.
"..computer games don't affect kids. I mean if Pacman affected our generation as kids, we'd all be running around in a darkened room, munching pills and listening to repetitive electronic music. "

Spot on Rob. Those 2 are no were near ready and Spike wasn't fit but we had no choice on Friday night.
Why do we have a limit on players on a list? If you have a salary cap why does it matter? A rebuilding side should be able to have more players than a challenging side because their players are going to be worth less!
