I agree the MC have picked the incorrect horses for courses, but they do so without knowing the full info about our opponents.
We tend to select the names on the sheet based on everyone's best footy and usually after selection night. The MC do so knowing whether or not players are in good, bad or indifferent form, whether or not fringe players have had a rough trot and what impact that may have on them. Notice we all tend to look at the same starting 18, and then tend to differ on the rest with usually only the mix being referenced as ways we've stuffed it but we don't know about the niggles that might only be a knock or a corkie or a muscle strain.
Most of the time we look at who isn't there and their potential performance without any other info.
