Tansey Gone!

Quote: HFC Yorkie "I agree. Haven't seen as much of these kids as some, but frankly, what is the point of investing in them if they're never going to get a go. It would be difficult if we had to field several debutants all at once, but that wouldn't seem to be necessary. There may always be doubts about whether any player can step up to the next level, but you generally find out more by trying them. Personally I'd much rather see us play some of the youngsters, in their regular positions where they'll be more likely to be comfortable, playing alongside experienced heads also playing in their natural positions, rather than shuffle around "cover" players and end up with half a team playing out of position which has sometimes been the case in the last couple of seasons. I'm not saying we shouldn't recruit, but I don't think we should rush out in desperation when we have lads who have come through the ranks and who would give their all for the shirt and be supported by the fans who would recognise them for doing so.'"

additionallt to that sometimes we never see a players true ability until they are given a go in SL. Some very average U20s players make it big in 1st grade and vice versa. I'd like to even see Williams play in the halves this season to add to the other names. As you say, we wont need to put more than 1 or 2 of them in any given week and that's ideal to bring them on. It's better than playing 6 in once go in round 18 when we have injuries. It would be nice for at least 4 of those to have had 5 games each by then.
