The recent controversy over Beast Mode has me thinking. He absolutely dominated the reserves but was not considered for senior selection. He was statically so much better than the other fringe players selected in front of him it was becoming absurd that he didn't get a game in the seniors but this is not a thread on his selection or non-selection
However I have a series of questions that I do not have a definitive answer to but I would be interested to listen to the Brissie bigfooty community
Does reserves footy get you in form? Should we give Lyons a week in the Twos to get 30 possessions and this would bring him back to last years form?
If you cannot get a kick in the Ones will a few weeks in the twos get you back in form?
Does this issue vary depending on your role in the side? An example: if Eric had two weeks in the Twos when he returned from a 'knee' would he be better able to play at his pre-injury level quicker? Is this more likely for a 'small'' rather then a 'tall'.
Would it vary on the psychological make up of the player? Aker had so much self confidence he should never play Twos?
There are more questions around this issue and I do not want to belabor the point so let fly.
