IMO the blowtorch should be on the whole match committee. We've lost the last 2 games at the selection table.
First week...
i've been very vocal about Weiterings selection being counterproductive to winning. Very few agreed with me before the match. Got a bit more support when he was indeed a liability on the night.
2 touches in the first half.
This week...
Again, with Weitering (1 touch in the first half this week - only 4 for the match, 1 given to him courtesy of a free kick.) but lets bring in another key defender because....?
Also lets drop Silvagni, a forward for that spot too.
Oh, and Kreuzer was almost never going to get up, so lets use our other forward in the ruck all game, and bring in a mid.
So now we are 2 forwards short, 1 extra key defender heavier than the heavy key defender backline we had last week.....and our last minute replacement was a kid playing his 2nd game.....on the back of a game last week in which Crash said he was not ready for AFL.
I heard Rowe is back soon, might as well bring him and A. Silvagni into the side next week. Reckon we should drop Charlie and Wright to fit them in.
Thoughts?
I owe you an apology.
Last week I backed play weitering (I still do because the kids need games).
This week our coach outcoached himself.
Dew didn't need to do much to win today. We beat ourselves before his team did.
I back playing polson, but maybe this was the wrong week for that.
