Unfortunately we are not privy to the roles assigned to these players, the expectations of their performances and the KPIs that determine promotion or demotion. Therefore we can't say whether or not the MC are doing the right thing or not. Eg some people on this forum wanted White dropped this week due to a poor performance last week. Internally, they were delighted with the job he did.
There are two reasons you'll keep your place: you fulfilled the task that was given to you AND there is no one better in the wings to take your place. Eg Cripps might be out and Graham comes in. Graham gets 4 clearances 26 possessions and lays 3 tackles......ticked all KPIs but if Cripps is available next week, he comes in.
We'd love to see that MC checklist......but we can't!!

If they're 70% fit and can play through injury considering their age they should bloody well play!!!

Re: Krooz & Caz - something about pigs flying and snowflakes in hell, but the coverage these last 2 days makes me think our guys would kill to get out on the park and be part of what's building. This pleases me. So many times in the past few years it looked like too many players were simply disinterested.

If you're on the money, it's certainly a wonderful little indicator of success.

It is pleasing to see the commitment for sure but I also think there is another major factor in play. Our depth is just so poor atm. We may well have some young guys waiting in the wings like SOSOS but they are not ready yet. Aside from those few we have very little and the MC and BB know that we need our very best on field in order to stand any chance of beating any other side. BB's philosophy includes building a belief in our ability to grind out any kind of win in order to build and maintain team morale - a constantly losing team quickly loses steam - at the same time as rebuilding that team. It's a juggling act for sure but outside of selecting the 22 we see this week there is very little else available in the cupboard atm that will facilitate that.

Now that's taken the wind out of my sails Cookie!
We simply lack the depth to field a competitive side if a couple of our key players are injured. Our best 25 is the equal of most of the middle range teams but we fall away rapidly after that. We have blokes with the potential to play AFL but they haven't realised it yet, and perhaps won't ever. While there are occasional glimpses from Smith, Foster, Rainbow, etc, time is running out. We really can't afford to bring in another group of players who won't progress beyond the NBs.
Hopefully I'll see a competitive 22 this arvo

I'm expecting a similar loss to last week unless our midfield, meaning Cripps and Murphy, plays a blinder.
If that happens we might run them to two or three goals, but consistent effort and a team ethos is all I really want to see today.

i think the Pies showed that the Geelong mids don't run that deep either....their back line is experienced, but arguably old and pretty slow too.
Who shuts down Sumner, Lamb?
Hendo on Everitt - win for us. Mackie on Walker? Taylor on Levi - the Bolt will slaughter him if we can get a 1 on 1.
After Dangerfield and Selwood, what Guthrie? Caddy?
We'll win this...

Guthrie and Caddy are very good players - Guthrie has moved nicely from being primarily a tagger to being a creating, offensive mid, and is enjoying a break out season.
Dis them at your peril.

Tutt haas taken Jaksch's spot on the emergencies list due to the latter being ill.
