That was then, this is now. Not interested in 2002.
If he's showing something, which he is, 5 goals in 2 goals shows that, he'll benefit from a feel of senior footy and it's requirements to carry into the pre-season. Somewhere around rounds 21-23, what the hell have you got to lose at that time of the year, even if it's only one game. He can only gain, surely, even if he doesn't get a kick. Nothing like a bit of experience and important for development. Be brainless not to give him a feel of AFL footy as things are currently. Not as if he's struggling at VFL level. Same goes for Cunningham. One game, whats the issue.
