VFL Rd 2: Northern Blues vs. Geelong

[cookie2]

Didn't you say the other day that Murphy and co didn't have anyone to look up to and thus couldn't develop properly?

This is what its about. Rewarding players who put, regardless of who they are and how much actual talent they have.

If White, Tutt and Jones (all 'hacks') are tearing it up in the 2's, you have to reward them. How else to you show the kids what to do? Its pretty simple, perform and get a game. Continue to perform and continue to get a game.

Sometimes you play someone to get a point across that may not benefit you in the short term, but certainly will in the long term, long after they have been cast aside.

These guys appear to be enthusiastically and successfully performing the things they were sent to the NBs to do. There must be recognition and reward for that - that's how the required culture will be developed. Let's hope Jamo will be similarly motivated.
