Agree, except on Bean, who I thought looked like he wasn't far off hitting his straps a bit and getting a feel at seniors, would have liked 2 more games. On lamby's comment, it is over the top, Dimmas treatment of young players is not diabolical, its standard. I will say however, Beverages' revolving door rotation of young players this year was amazing. I don't know enough about them, nothing about their seconds team or individual performances, but it seemed like after a loss, 5 or 6 out ommitted, 5 or 6 in. Even after a win, 4 or 5. Nobody seemed to care or question that their $1 million boom recruit was in the seconds, Imagine if we did that? Just seemed to give them a freshness. Amazing

I have no problem with Hardwick making spots in the side hard to earn and making players work on deficiencies before they get a spot. Think it is the way it should go, getting gifted games rarely does anyone any good. Making people hungry sorts out the men from the boys.

Don't disagree at all. Just saying I've never seen anything like Beverage's revolving door approach, it was interesting. Maybe the intention was getting games into young players and wins are a bonus?

Re: Welcome to tiger land Ben Lennon
Would like to keep Lennon absolutely as he has looked good this year BUT if the kid throws his toys out of the pram for not playing in the elim final, he can pack his bags. People on here make enough noise about mentally weak players and then want to keep one that gets annoyed about one game and wants to leave. I'd want him to be annoyed, enough so that he buckles down hard and makes it impossible for it to happen again, not to ask to leave. Now I have no idea if he wants to leave or not but if its due to this then he can pack his bags. We want players who want to work their butts off to play for this footy club not be handed everything. Whether he should have been left out is irrelevant. I think he should have played but if is that mentally weak that he wants to leave due to it then off you go.
If he does want to leave and we were to get the offer that someone mentioned on here of Astbury plus Lennon for Yarran and Pick 20 (assuming thats where their 2nd pick starts), then if we can give that Pick to GC for Bennell (and the more clubs that are out of the options, the more chance we can get the steal of the century for this pick) then its a no brainer. Astbury and Lennon swapped for Yarran and Bennell and we still have our 2 first rounders for the next 2 years. Use them on Treloar or Prestia or a ruckman (maybe Smith) and Redden and we are set.
