nah, i disagree, it's not about senior experience.
they may turn out to be gems if you play them in their CORRECT POSITION. blake isn't a ruckman, jones isn't a small forward, and
JIMMY IS NOT A THIRD TALL FORWARD. never will be. he just doesn't show anything down there - we've seen it this year as well as last.
but playing back he looks great.
last night for three quarters he was the only saint with time and space when on the ball - including lenny, who always had men hanging off him. jimmy g, on the other hand, was the man you wanted to get the ball on the way out of defence.
he's becoming a very handy player.
