That's the thing that has me buggered.
It was so obvious a strange selection decision....what were they thinking?
What is the secret 'plan'?
Ive got one scenario that makes sense (without any inside knowledge) but the selection of Dow, O'Shea and Mullet ahead of blokes like Cunningham and McKay might tell a little bit about the issue currently bothering our club.
The selection of Polson confirms it, but from what I have heard, we are prioritising blokes that will do what is asked of them, and play the role assigned to them, ahead of others who may be just going.
Silvagni is the only selection that debunks this theory, as young Jack doesnt strike me as a take it for granted sort of bloke and works his dot off, but the fact they pushed him onball against Port Melbourne might simply point to him learning a different role at the moment.
