I think the kid has proven that he can play football, but it's two games and let's let him get into his career before we start making him into something he's not. We'll be guarding against that.

The new rules are now eight games old and we'll have a look at another four games on the weekend, of which we participate in one of them, and we'll judge it at the end of the year.

Chris Tarrant is probably the most frustrated player in the competition and he has every right to be.

Cast your mind back last year, a point is scored, you in your position might use that time and go, 'Gee, someone on the wing is getting slaughtered', you'd take a breath and watch with interest what was to happen next.

At this time of year, what we want him to do is get some game time and that is what he did.

He went into the game with an injured hand and perhaps that played on his mind.

Tonight was just to get the players through, get back to Melbourne, assess where we're at and then make decisions.

He just knows where to get the footy.

They're senior citizens and we let them have the day off.
