Hopefully, this has them stronger mentally and physically as time goes on, and also to become more resilient men and footballers.
On McKay and Cuningham, it does not bother me in the slightest if they do not play AFL this year. In fact, they probably shouldn't. They'll be better off for playing weekly footy without interruption and then getting stuck into another preseason. Same for the others.
Calling these kids out thus far, especially when some have missed large chunks of footy and conditioning is silly.
I'm not worried. Let's look at the again this time next year with what will hopefully be uninterrupted footy for them all.
Unfortunately, the previous draftees in DVR, Smith and Foster seem to be fizzing. Maybe we might rookie list some of them?
Agree...McKay, C.Curnow and Cunningham need another season before they can be judged and McKay probably needs another couple.....seen enough of Charlie to know he will make it anyway...
DVR, Smith and Foster are delist material IMO ...
