UP TO a dozen first-gamers could be in Frankston's team to tackle Sandringham in Sunday's VFL season opener at Kars St.
The Dolphins' list has never been so young and inexperienced.
Only two players on the list captain Paul Kennedy and Clinton Proctor have played more than 50 VFL games.
Just four have played 20 games or more.
Frankston's average age is 19.
CASEY Scorpions VFL captain Kyle Matthews is in intensive care at The Alfred hospital after he was punched outside a Hawthorn hotel last night.
Matthews, 24, suffered a slight skull fracture and swelling of the brain after the incident outside the Geebung Polo Club in Auburn Rd.
He fell on to the road, with a witness describing the sound as “like a coconut hitting the ground’’.

THE
Box Hill Hawks have adopted a new jumper for the next two years to recognise
their growing relationship with the Hawthorn Football Club.
The new design features a brown Hawthorn Hawk on a yellow background and
includes the Mustang logo.
Unveiled at the club’s jumper presentation night yesterday, the alternate strip
will be worn against non-VFA clubs Bendigo, North Ballarat, Collingwood, Geelong
and Gold Coast.
The traditional Mustangs jumper will still be worn against VFA rivals including
Coburg, Port Melbourne, Williamstown and Sandringham.

THE VFL would welcome Gold Coast and Greater Western Sydney into what shapes as an expanded "eastern seaboard" competition from 2011. However, the competition’s makeup next year depends on whether both clubs want to play in the VFL— with Gold Coast participating this season and GWS expected to graduate from the TAC Cup and follow suit next year.

RON JAMES' footballing star twinkled all too briefly. It was destined to blaze and illuminate Footscray Football Club.
The rover had a fine career in front of him, but his life was cut short by a water skiing accident, the 20th anniversary of which passed on January 1. He was only 19.
