And if an injury springs out of nowhere in the warm-ups, we then throw the 18 year old not-yet-ready in?

I know you try to find reason in things but I think we messed up here lol
It’s not about reasoning it’s more that we have done this before.

We got caught with our pants down in the Richards situation but it’s not that uncommon for us to do this. Even in the case of taking the weakest player such as last year often Robinson would travel instead of Dawson who they would have wanted to play NEAFL and push for senior selection.

I also think McInerney would be fine if it came about.

Nope sorry Masey I never ever want to see any untried 18 year old as our only available emergency!! Especially in round one with blokes coming back from injuries/off limited pre seasons.

More than anything I'm just excited to watch our boys. Going into a season with low expectations is kind of calming, would be happy just to see our boys have a real crack and what will be will be.
