You're missing the point though, people are complaining about playing the likes of Houli Grigg Thomas Petterd et al ahead of the kids, when asked who we would play the likes of Sewell and O'Keefe ahead of the answers were Grigg Houli Petterd Thomas et al. So the answer is to replace the old recycled 'hacks' with older recycled players in the hope that they can add something to the development of the leadership group. Along the way they will still stopping kids from being played.
That's the reason why I don't want to add them, not because they can't add anything but because we gain nothing from playing them. You can gain the same benefit through having them as development coaches, where they can work with the players on what it took to be successful, they can play with the kids in the VFL side if they so desire and work with our young kids in game situations to help them develop and understand what it takes to be successful, but to put them on the senior list is a waste of time. We need to be moving away from relying on recycled types to make us competitive not bringing more in.
