Re dragging out the process - I expect this will be the pattern for the year. Guys like Keane may be in and out of the team, rested, managed, swapped with other kids, with a core of older players retained to help hold it together - our 2021 version of ‘holding it together’ which, despite how utterly awful we are, is to avoid an absolute flogging. We haven’t yet lost a game by more than 30 points.
For that reason we may see some baffling ins and outs, as the club tries to balance age/experience/position/skill set, while still exposing the kids.
It’s a rough year.
I agree with what your saying. But we have only 8 this week with under 50 games and 7 with over 150 games.
Should really be 10 each week with under 50 games and no more than 5 players with 150 games... so that we can get as much as that 2020/21 young cohort up to 50 games as quick as possible
What difference between a 5 goal defeat to Port Adelaide or an 8 goal defeat?
The rebuild needs to be the priority... not saving face
