I'm not parroting anything mate.The media say they are tanking people just parrot it.
This wasnt an issue 4 weeks ago when Ross said he was committed to blooding the young players. Media picked it up in lead up to this game to put pressure on Freo and as a topic to fill the airwaves.
You say it wasn't an issue a month ago. Well I thought at the time it very much was an issue a month ago, when last year's minor premiers and preliminary finalists have declared they now have an opportunity to blood their youth, essentially writing off finals, a mere 1 month in to the season.
