It's a lot harder to play well as a young player in a poor side than it is in a good side.
You see that.
The amount of young players that have struggled in a north, for example, to those that are lucky enough to get drafted to a good side like Brisbane...
So it's really difficult to compare that.
I think it's tough metrics to measure is what I think Kenny's trying to say here, Tom, and it's not clear-cut.
He feels like he hasn't been supported well enough.
Yeah, and that's where the majority of it lies.
He's an experienced player playing in a position that doesn't need a whole lot of support.
You play on your man, beat your man, compete.
It's not as if he's young.
So he gets paid extremely well and has made his coach look foolish with his coach coming out and defending him as strongly as he did only a week ago, calling the criticism lazy.
And then a week later, leaving him out of the side.
So Brad's tried to defend him.
And in the end, it's been a bit humiliating for Brad as well with the way he's had to handle this.
I always look at Collingwood's changes, and it's funny to me when the senior players come back, it's always the youngsters that get dropped.
So it's always the same ones that get dropped, and it's exactly where they are.
So how McCreary, Pendlebury come back in, who's going to get... Oh, it's the young players.
They're just...
The lack of any sort of youth coming through would concern me.
It has done for a while.
