FOR THE first three weeks of this season, without fail, Jay Kennedy-Harris knocked on Paul Roos' door determined to talk his coach into playing him for a full game.

The 19-year-old small forward was named substitute for the first three rounds, before finally receiving his opportunity to play four quarters in Melbourne's 23-point win over Carlton last Saturday.

"Kennedy-Harris came to me and said, 'Can I play this week? Can I play this week?" Roos said.

"I said, 'Leave it with me, I know the bloke who picks the team.'
