Agree, but we lack the depth to do this. Cunningham demonstrates the need for a full season of work before challenging for senior selection in year 2. Fisher is very slight and SPS has much to learn about the game and positioning. They are so young and it would be ideal that they get some game time at VFL level.
Ive never bought the argument that a player will perform better at AFL level so they should start early. VFL is a high standard. I suspect the issue is more about misaligned senior and aeconds teams, i.e. playing a different style and thin lists. The first problem is clearly being addressed this year and the second is a work in progress.
Nevertheless, we may have to play the above because the cupboard is getting a little bare.
