I don't see the argument. You want them to play 0 premiership players? i'm not sure they would field a side.
We have to get better and worry about our own backyard.
That is the point, we hear talk that these kids are going to take some time, yet it looks like we are lining them up against the beAst in their first ever game! All I can think of is if it is a deliberate test to see if the kids are any good, and that worries me about our selection process. These kids will get plenty of opportunity to play against the beAst in their career, why not wait until they are a little more seasoned!
I want some return on investment long term!
I don't see how allowing the likes of Hodge or Lewis to "Bugger our Talent" helps things! We are not talking about playing against the typical average AFL player, we are talking about lining up on the competitions A Grade Bastards who won't hesitate to send Bolton and the other defectors a message!
It comes across to me like it's another Murphy or Kreuzer situation. Perhaps it is all about membership and not so much about player development.
Anyway it's not my decision, I can only express a concern.
