Would just like to touch on players such as Moloney, Sylvia and Green, who coincidentally were all unfairly bagged, asked to leave etc. during the week on this forum. There is a place for experience in this side. Moloney and Sylvia both showed plenty of passion tonight and I'd like to see them both in our team every week. They are both very skilled players, and how good was Sylvia's snap goal!! Hopefully Moloney stays at the club and Sylvia has a fantastic remainder of year. And Look at Jared Rivers, he kept quiet for a couple of years but now, aged 27, he's had a fantastic year and looks as flawless as a defender as i've seen. As for Green there has been talk of his retirement at the end of the year. One thing for sure is that I'm happier to see him on the field than not, he has been one of my few favourite players for many years and I hope there's good vibes between him and Neeld and Green himself can decide when he wants to head off (Ideally end of 2014-2015 i.m.o, still think there's more devleopment to come which he can lead in the next few years). We don't want another James McDonald or Russell Robertson situation either. Our successful patch in 2010 saw the fruitation of younger players, when 30+ year olds Bruce and McDonald were getting tons of the ball and having an impact. I still think Davey can provide something as a defensive forward, and Jamar is still going quite well and getting tons of hitouts. So before you have a go at the older fellas, as easy targets they may be when we lose, just remember what they have done for the club and think about how all the games they have played can be of only a beneficial impact on the younger ones.
