I's sure he would have said he was right to go and they trusted his judgement. Dont always get things right sure but they must go on best info available.
They clearly made a mistake there.

If we win, the MC got it wrong because we should have won by more ... and that's despite the MC knowing just a tad more about the players' fitness, durability, likely match ups, etc.Yes, mixed reports about Charlie that's all. Some say def in, some say def out. Might be named and will be given until just before the warm up I reckon.
According to SEN, McKay, Curnow, De Koning, Martin, Williams, McGovern, Cerra and Docherty all went full bore at yesterday's match sim and should all be available for selection. A conundrum for the MC, but a good one to have.

Charlie was named for the St Kilda game. Unless that was pure ducks and drakes, he shouldn't have been far off then.

Charlie is an easy one. He's either good or not.
Cerra and Martin can train the house down but they can't be trusted.

We have all seen a lot of finals lost playing injured players or lacking match fitness and for some reason this game seems to have a certain amount of desperation attached to it. Win lose or draw Im giving Voss a pass for this year given our injury toll but Im not sure the media or man in the street are thinking same.

If Doc is selected and played, he would surely struggle with match fitness. I hope we don’t break him.

I was thinking along the same lines Mantis but Doc is always meticulous with his preparation and is probably one of our fittest players … and he won’t have the niggles that most players will have now.
What does concern me is whether he can adapt to the pace and pressure of the game. I guess he’s always coped when returning after long periods out of the game.
Fingers crossed for him ?

He has been called in to fulfill a specific role.......what that role is, is the $1m question!
