My point is more that, if we are to have a mature leader in the backline (and I acknowledge that Daisy can play elsewhere as, perhaps, can Alex), who should we prefer? I'm leaning towards Alex, because of his example of ruthlessness and the comments from Marchbank as to his value.
I think we can play both if their form warrants it.
Youth policies are fine but we shouldn't be in a breakneck hurry, if any kid is good enough he'll force his way into the team.
It would be a miracle if all of the kids currently in and around our senior team made the grade, we need to realise that it's extremely unlikely to happen and accept that some will fall by the wayside.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.
