Certainly not and apologies if it reads that way, I'm challenging the notion that after 6 games there seems to be a focus on changing the direction on team selections in favour of youth. Maybe much later in the season it should be a consideration but picking our best side should be what we expect from the match committee.

Agreed, that's why he shouldn't be the sub every week, start him for a couple of games, give him a go as the sub and even give him a game or two at Footscray. What we shouldn't do is just say that he needs to make room for others.
