If they are on the list, then what is the point of retaining them if they are not going to get a game?
Why wouldnt you put Jones on Buddy to play a role, if the other talls are currently a bad matchup?
Why wouldnt you put Jones to pinch hit into the ruck, if Phillips can barely run around for a half, Kreuzer is still "sore" and you dont want to slaughter Harry Mckay so early into his career?
Because he has no future in the game?? Thats not the right reason to exclude anyone who is currently on our list. We may as well have paid the bloke out last season, parted ways with him, and then recruited a new player. We still might do this at the end of this year, but if he manages to reignite his AFL career, we might even find someone who wants to trade with us for his services, and whilst that might seem farfetched, Hawthorn went and picked up Ty Vickery. Its not impossible. We only stand to lose, by ignoring players putting their hand up for selection and then ignoring them. It sends the wrong message to all and sundry and only cuts off your nose to spite your face.
If they are on the list, and havent retired they should be viewed as a senior player irrespective of when they are getting games.
One thing I am quickly learning about our reset, is that our football club isn't the only thing that needs to change.
