I noticed that we had played a good number of rookies (0-10 games at start of season, 22 or under in 2013) Great signs for the club.

Ray Daniels (6) 10
Chris DeLuca (6) 14
Dom Sheed (4) 7
Buddy Pickett (4) 14
Simon Moore (4) 5
Seva Martin (3) 4
Myles Smythe (3) 10
Matt Bogensperger (1) 1
Michael Wood (1) 1
David Madut (1) 1
Kyle Halligan (1) 1
Nick Hay (1) 1

Not to forget Rhys Waters who is still only 19 years old but had played 18 games at the start of the year and has added one to that tally.

Agree there LH we are definitely in a rebuilding phase and if we can keep these group of young guys coming through together the future is bright.
As I think I've said before must keep giving opportunities to those whose form warrants it and find out the ones who value the chances given to them. The three who got the chance last week all showed something and are worthy of their places agin this week.
Hopefully this gives some of our more senior players a jolt to get them to perform at a higher level than we have generally seen so far this year.

Agree - There's still a couple of senior players getting a game on past performances and it's starting to wear thin. I was rapt with our courage last week and we looked better with the injection of youth !!! Well done Schoey - Keep on promoting players who deserve a go.

Hopefully the first gamers last week get another crack as I feel they all did really well. I find it hard though that Hay and Halligan only got the one game as I believe both did well in their debut's. So can't understand why only the one game????
I would have thought at least a couple of games to get a good feel.
Unless you play an absolute shocker first up I believe you should get at least 2 to 3 games get a feel for it.
