VFL Rd 17: Northern Blues vs Werribee

[crashlander]

Very true.

The club should put some effort into recruiting a couple of experienced on field leaders to help with the development of the youngsters and settle things down when necessary.  I suppose we tried that with Kieran McGuinness but his unfortunate neck injury ended that part of his involvement.

It could be a good opportunity for recently retired AFL players who want a pathway to coaching and still have the ability and desire to play VFL.

McGuinness has had a terrible run with injury. He was a great level head and an excellent example to follow: his injury hurt us a lot more than would be expected simply because we are a very young and inexperienced team.
We badly need a few other experienced players like him, or Jordan Russell, who can stand when the chips are down and show the way.

Jamo could have been someone like that this year but for his issues. He just hasn't been able to get on the park.
