woodgers - it's about developing for the future. Even if it's only one game, finals footy has a whole different feel about it in terms of intensity and pressure. If we are really sincere about bringing out the best in our juniors, there is just no way we can leave Carney out of this week's team. It would be a great experience for him. I know it's a big ask but we need an eye for the future. As I have said before, I wouldn't mind losing if our juniors got something valuable out of the experience. It means we can come back stronger in later years.
Having said that I would prefer to win, but I doubt it given the way we have played this year. Not to mention our shocking finals record over the past few years.
