For a number of reasons our seconds are effectively a burden on the seniors. This summer we just have to recruit quality VFL players to help our kids/recovering seniors, not hinder them. The BB and other senior side coach's influence on the NBs was very evident early in the season and at times during the season (effort/intensity) but the lack of talent on the paddock (for whatever reason) finally wore everyone down.
I'm not convinced that we need a stand alone team but we must have a core group of experienced, very good VFL standard players.
I guess that one of the problems is being able to play AFL-listed players where and how they are expected to play at AFL level. The VFL core group should include a couple of solid versatile midfielders and a bunch of blokes who are comfortable playing in defence or as a forward. Someone mentioned Jordan Russell and I think that players of his ability and versatility would be ideal.
