If you go to war with a soldier that isnt as capable as everyone else, you help them until they rise to your standard by making certain sacrifices.
@DJC I think the boys will be okay as shown against Geelong when we were down to effectively zero bench and fought it out.
Sure but if you've got fully trained and fit front line soldiers available you wouldn't be sending in the cadets surely?

Possibly Thry but I doubt whether we'd go into a game with a player who can't run it out. Imagine if one of the fit players against Geelong wasn't match fit.
Over the last few seasons with the sub rule, new players or players returning after injury could be eased in. Now it's all or nothing.
As others have said, SOJ will play when the MC decides he's ready. I don't think he is but I'm not on the MC

I hope SOJ plays in the NB so that people can get a realistic look at how he performs. Even then you don't see the condition he comes off the ground after some rather short stints.
I take his condition when he comes off as a positive; he leaves nothing in the bank when he's out there

Not if the front-line soldiers won't die for you.

It's ok provided everyone knows that they have earned their game.

Walker and Everitt should consider themselves blessed to still be in the side after their recent (non) performances.... I don't give a rat's toss bag about junk time goals, they need to perform when the heat is on.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

I thought we were an outside chance if we came to play...
In Rhys Palmer, Shane Mumford, Steve Johnson
Maybe not.
