“There’s some kids playing at the WAFL, they’re probably a week or two away.”
“And then as soon as we get them to the point where they can get in and start playing, we’ll work on getting those kids in as well (to the AFL team).”
“There’ll be a point where we’ll have to make calls between a more established player and a younger player.”
“That’s the direction we need to take.” Simpson said.
