Think the point is, that we've seen enough of what Suban, The Fist , and D. Pearce have to offer. Everyone would agree that it is high time we found out what Collins, Balic, and, well...., anyone else has to offer. If this is a restump, rebuild, rewire or any other "re" word that can be thought of, we need to get anyone who is half fit and able into the team. In replacing "The Fist"we only have to have someone who fits the "half fit" criteria.!.
Crozier is a different case. Yes, by now, for all his potential, he should be part of the main team, but, he's had a fair go and really hasn't taken things by the scruff of the neck . Has a fancy haircut and has talked to Shaquille, but thats about it!
A player of his ability & potential needs to be absolutely dominating WAFL matches and he just doesn't seem to do that. When he consistently does, he'll show us that he has the hunger and "the want". At the moment, playing for the Dockers is and expectation, not a privilege. ...He's no orphan, mind you...!
All for making sure these young fellows are ready , and have consistent top quality WAFL form behind them, - that part I would agree with - but when the team performance is less than enlightening, and we see the "same old, same old " like last week,....well...surely the critical point is close to being reached?.
Having said all that, ...Hughes, Langdon, Blakely, Tucker, Weller..and throw in two/three year players Mcarthy, Sheriden and Tabernar...and well...slowly, slowly we might be getting were we want to go. ??? Balic, Collins, and Grey....would make 11 of the 22....being 1,2,or 3 year players (excepting Tabs and Sheriden).
Thats a high content of inexperience, huh?? ...and the big question is,... how many of them are gonna be Parko's "A -graders" ??
