Quite obvious Port Magpies are being used as a "One Club" Reserves team, a completely unnecessary knee jerk reaction from the team selection in the first trial game of the year FFS!
A quote from the article -
"I was asked by Daniel Healy would I guarantee Ben a game all year and I said `I don't guarantee any player a game'. And he said `well, we can'," Collins said.
then mentioned with Hinkley on 5AA tonight and he said "Westies wouldnt play him where we wanted so now he is at the Magpies and we can play him where we want"
How about letting the lad play at West and win his own way into the midfield? and if unhappy transfer him later in the year?
The whole thing stinks and is exactly why we dont want reserves teams in our comp.
A question for the Magpie fans though, how do you feel that there will be guys getting games in your league team that dont deserve their selection and/or are played out of postion that is best for their team to succeed?[/quote]

Do not like the fact that we are picking up guys this way. I would rather a team of players earnign their spots rather then have these guys who get games in a position because an AFL side wants it that way.

Really don't see why you need to buy into the hysteria Lynwood. It's a little early to be guessing who may be earning games and who may not, if any?

This quote tells me that the Magpies are told to play players where and when they are told.
So what hype I am only going by what is being said.
