Why doesn't Mick play Buckley? Buckley is 6 months older than Boekhorst but has only played 9 senior matches.
We have 2 rookies who are older than Boekhorst who haven't played a game yet. Why don't we play them if age is all that matters?
Mick said he is too light and not consistent enough....maybe he should have weighed him before Rodgers called out his name.
Buckley cant get a kick in the NB's...yet Mick has him in line for a game ahead of Boekhorst along with V. Rainbow....both have done nothing in the NB,s this season.
Yet Mick says he wont just give games to youth for the sake of being seen to rebuild.....
I dont know a coach who changes his logic daily and sends so many confusing messages to supporters/media like MM...maybe thats how he coaches on match day....
We all know the plan was to recruit 21-24 year olds so we could get some young experienced players onto the list who could play straight away and cut some development corners..Boekhorst recruiting was part of that plan being a WAFL player with a few seasons under his belt.
He hasnt set the world on fire preseason and everyone with half a brain knows he is struggling with the physical aspects of the AFL game and his light frame is an issue...
Clem Smith was preferred to him...if Smith was/is more ready that Boekhorst then I know why Mick is hiding him in the NB's...
