I'm not to worried about that...as mediocre as it was.
A large number of the players who played today will just represent our depth and development as the year progresses.
They'll be replaced by the core group that was missing today.
For around 75% of them they won't be getting regular full games at AFL level, rather they will just be given the odd game here and there.
How they go when given those opportunities as part of the "A- team" will be more important than what they showed today.
In some respects having players like Jack, Harry and young Curnow working and learning together at the lower levels will be beneficial once they progress to more permanent roles.
Weitering , on the other hand, has already completed his apprenticeship...that was a polished and composed performance.
The big issue is that we will go into Round 1 without a lot of forward power.
Where will the goals come from?
