I agree with both sides of this discussion
- to play veterans or blood the youngsters
BUT - if you're not going to play the oldies they might as well be delisted so that you can have another youngster on your list
I still remember Richos first game - and I'd like to think he hasn't played his last in Black & White

Just because he's playing well for Willy doesn't mean he should be brought in against Melbourne. Correct me if I'm wrong but Richo hasn't played a senior game since 2001. Personally i thought he should have retired last year, nothing against the guy he had a great year a few years ago. And just beacuse he's been at the Club forever doesn't warrant an automatic inclusion. I'd love to see him out there again but the young players is where our future lies. Give one of them ago.

So that was a different Richo I saw playing aginst the Same Ol'd's in round 21 last year.Wonder who it was then must have been a phantom Richo.

Paulie, like I said correct me if I'm wrong - and I was.
I couldn't remember if he played a game last year and he obviously didn't have much of an impact otherwise I would have remembered (or maybe not, my memory is pretty shite these days).
Thanks mate.

Actually I was the wrong one as he was one of the few to play well in round 22 against the dogs with two goals to boot.

If he has good enough form and has unique attributes in the squad he should be played - or... Buckley and Burns are the same age, maybe we should drop them to make way for development??
