    Davis Out Who Comes In

    For a wildcard Tim Schmidt he has been in the best for the
    reserves for the past six weeks St Kilda would not know much
    about him and while it would be a big call to play an untried
    youngster in a final I have a feeling he would acquit himself well
    he is very well regarded by Kevin Sheehan who is an excellent
    judge of young talent and having seen him play twice this year
    I am convinced he is a star in the making.
    cheers Ian

      Star in the making maybe but too much of a risk in a semi final. He will get lost with the pace and intensity of the game.

          Sometimes a young player can step up in a finals debut and be really good - Hadley (second game) and Brereton are two examples.
          Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

              True a young guy named Watson
              played rather well in a finals series a few years ago I would
              suspect that he wont be tried but I thought it was worth some
              discussion. cheers Ian

                  Do we need another tread on Davis injury?

                      In a final I think it would be crazy to risk playing a rookie who has no (or very little) senior football experience. Schmidt will get his opportunity next season. There are enough decent players with senior experience hoping for a chance.

                      Besides, Davis still has time to prive himself and if he can, I will be very pleased to see him in our forward line on Friday night.

                          it should not happen again.
