the interesting thing on the website is the story on brett merideth, roosy says he will play against the tassie hawks,but he is only a young kid and won't be expected to play senior footy this year.
for heavens sake the boy is 19yo,do other clubs play kids of that age,of course they do.
this is why a lot of posters are getting frustrated with a lack of youth being produced by the club.it certainly hasn't harmed the pies by playing youngsters.
if he's good enough put him in,dont waste these kids by leaving them playing in canberra.
also interestig was that he is being mentored by the champ in goodes and wait for it,god help him MCVEIGH.
sorry i said i'd leave him alone
heh heh...i thought exactly the same thing, but we agreed we'd give the useless hack a break
but you're right, mate, about the statement that he'll play in the Nab Cup but not the main comp
how can roos say that now??? what happens if meredith turns out to be the next chris judd or leigh matthews or jimmy bartel?
what happens if he absolutely tears it up in the Nab Cup, inspires us to the NAB GF and a win???
now, it's not likely, obviously, but whether it be meredith or any of the other kids, why come out now and say they won;t play seniors
a) it would seriously take the wind outa my sails if i were a new recruit keen to impress the club
b) it would make me feel bloody stupid, if i were the coach coming out and saying that before i'd seen the kid play, but after i'd seen him train, it'd show me up to be a fcking bad judge
so yes, it seems a ridiculous and badly timed comment
