Split the playing group

[LeverPuller]

Take Viney, Toumpas, Hogan, Clark, Dawes, Howe, both Joneses, Grimes, JT, Taggert, Gawn, TMac, Blease and this year's other draftees.

Train them completely, utterly and entirely separately away from the rest of the playing group.
Build up those so-called 'elite' standards.

Tell them to play with the others come the weekend and just play footy.

When it comes to the end of the year, cut or trade the group that aren't listed here.
All of them.

Complete opposite of what we need IMO.

We're trying to rebuild a club, not a group of elite players who think they're better than half the other players. Look at Sydney - not everyone on their list is a star but every single 'star' in that team would still put their body on the line for one of the lesser lights.

Champion team vs a team of champions and all that.

Team of duds versus a few duds your trying to fix and a team of duds.

I somehow feel we tried to forge a gap between tomorrow's and yesterday's players a couple of years ago and it didn't work out so well. I appreciate the sentiment though, our kids are the future.

I still agree with the sentiment in your OP that anybody who isn't up to scratch should be cut at years end.
But dividing players will only weaken the team.

Mindblown!
