NAB Challenge - Carlton v Hawthorn @ Aurora Stadium

[Thryleon]

Players under contract just don't get sacked these days unless something untoward has occurred.

If you are in your final year that is the only time you will have the Club's desires tested.

I'd like nothing more than for Jones to make it, but he is marking time.  Just like a few others and if it means they play so we don't roll out a youngster like a lamb to the slaughter every week then that's a win. 

Our young players need to learn the game plan and develop their ability to compete with the big boys at this level, and that means picking their moments for senior footy.  Do that from now, and if they earn an early call up, good.  If not then so be it.
