They clearly made a mistake there.
Was it a "clearly" a mistake or a gamble that didn't come off? 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.

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.
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.

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.

If Doc is selected and played, he would surely struggle with match fitness. I hope we don’t break him.
This digital world is too much for us insects to understand.

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 ?
