I wish it was 6 years, Levi joined us in 2009, which was the 2010 Rookie Draft!

Yes, that's true. but made his senior debut in 2012, which was my point, albeit clumsily expressed.

I wonder about that sometimes :-\

It's only one game, and against the reigning premiers. I don't expect any changes except those forced by injury. Can't understand the calls for McKay to play, seen him play a few times now and he offers nothing at this stage. If he gets picked now without getting some form and confidence in the VFL he'll just be the next whipping boy!

...which is where this whole weitering debate started for me.
What is better for our development?
Getting games into kids and coming out with an honourable loss?
or
Picking the side that gives you the best chance of winning (still heavily stacked with kids) and beating the premiers?
Overall, benefit to the team as a whole, it has to be the latter. Yet, it seems people are fixated with the former....coaches included.

I think McKay comes in only if Kreuzer's out.

I honestly don't believe we picked sides to win every game last year.
We'll have to wait a few games into this season before we make a judgement.
At some point "selecting to win" must be the priority...you can only test the supporters patience for so long.
Having said that though....what selections would have made a difference to the result last night.
I cant think of any.
Re: 2018 Rd 1 Post Game Party: Carlton vs Richmond - Jack Burton - 03-23-2018
I'd pick a ruckman if Kreuzer's out, either Phillips or Lobbe, whoever is fit and has shown more at training

You been skipping over all my posts then.
Weitering out (no matchup)
Cunningham in (extra midfield rotation) - covers the loss of Kennedy early, an extra small rotation so we don't run out of legs late

Which is not relevant for the comparison you were making.
