I don't think anyone is advocating excising every veteran player off the team for more kids. But you want to keep the guys who have the right kind of attitude and ditch the ones who don't. Guys like Joey Mac, McGrattan, Sarich, Gio - these are the kinds of veteran players that will have a positive influence on the team and want to be a part of the solution. Guys who pout and quit playing when things don't go their way or have a loser mentality need to go - and we all know who those guys are.
