Once pre-season is over, it doesn't matter how old you are, how many years you have been at the club or what draft pick number you were. The best 22 play, and if you want to break into the side, then you had better be playing out of your skin in the seconds week in and week out.
Never gift a game to anyone, everyone has to earn their spot. At the same time, if someone is knocking the door down in the seconds, they need to be given a chance.
That's how I see it Amers. Those principles are straight forward and easy for players to understand so they each know exactly what they have to do to earn a game. Nothing's guarateed though as there may be another guy doing them better than you!
Reality always wins in the end.
