He was a test but could have passed and been overlooked.

I suspect that he would have been named on the bench if fit.

That seems reasonable.

Not if you're going on their form in the VFL.  They were all poor to average and don't deserve a senior game if the way they played in the VFL is important.

I had this thought as well. I hope the MC knows what they're doing.

FMD, Motlop, Durdin and Marchbank barely struck  a blow between them. Surely they won't play and the Auskicker will come in for Fantasia.

They cannot possibly play him based on his output last week.

If I were Voss, Id be using Motlop as the sub.  Whilst he couldnt get near it last week, hes at least got the excuse of not being available for the year, and has generally only flashed into games in bursts anyway.

Durdin probably did enough to get the sub role ahead of him, but only Carroll has shown enough to go into the starting lineup at this point.

I'm okay with the selections. But Durdin has done sfa other than 1 second cameos. No problem in him having a game but not in front of someone like Motlop. In front of Fantasia yeah you could do that. Fogarty, Williams and Owies is a nice mix of determination, hardness and experience as small forwards.

We aren't stupid @kruddler, we can see you've cherry-picked the Sydney game data which was TDK's worst by 300% minimum and Fantasia's 2nd best for the season, it was also the worst result for a bunch of our other players this season.

When you lower yourself to these tactics to try and make a point you diminish your argument rather than assist it.

I 'cherry picked' the last game we played 2 rucks.
You are only as good as your last game.
If Pitto hadn't got injured, i would've had another game to pick from.

Anyhow, rather than stare at the information presented to you, and do some self reflection and reevaluating of your way of thinking, you choose to attack me and my posting.

Now you've got that out of the way, you actually going to entertain the issue at hand?

From my original post....

TDK plays best as #1 ruck.
Yes, he has played some good games (this year) as backup ruck, but they are the exception, not the rule.

Motlop has a dash of X factor that could pay off if let loose in the last quarter.  Durdin would do his job but he’s unlikely to have the impact that Motlop is capable of.  Of course, Motlop could do nothing but that’s the risk you take.
