Final Teams

Why play a couple of kids for JUST ONE GAME. And don't trot out the 'experience' line because one game in a dead rubber match in the last round of the season, isn't experience. Why not just wrap them in cotton over summer and unleash them next season, Round 1?

If you cannot see the importance of giving the young boy Grimes a game today, then you don't have much of an idea about football IMHO....

Grimes has busted his gut all season, to come back from injury and climb his way to the seniors at Sandy.... He has obviously got the talent and is hungry for the ball, not to mention leadership qualities.... The club benefits from playing him against the Tigers, in that they see how he handles the ferocity and pace of an AFL match.... And Grimes himself will get a massive boost from playing on the MCG before he puts his body through a FULL pre-season! He will learn more about what is needed to perform on the big stage and he will gain a number of ideas on what he needs to concentrate on over the off-season!

Please, if people cannot see this, then they really need a good hard look at themselves! Have trust in Bailey and Co.

This season we may finish bottom..... But this season has gone a long way to shaping the next 5-10 seasons..... More than some people realise I think!
