I can only judge them as they play relative to each other, and side by side in the VFL, it's Polson that looks closer to AFL than some of the others.

But I no expert, in fact I'll assert based on the McKay / Kerr selection situation I know nothing at all!

One concern I have, is which player does Kerr really compete with for a AFL spot?

Who does Polson really compete with for that matter?

It may not be a level playing field!

I've heard the club and coaches throw around terms like honest, hard working, good character, but I'm yet to see this in the selection policy. I appreciate team selection is complex issue, but it must surely follow your ethos.

Im definitely no expert.

I do know a thing or two about team dynamics, but largely coaches all tend to have the same modus operandi with all their players.  At any given moment some are in favour or not.  When you're not, from the outside looking in, it can look like you are having to do twice the amount of work to make half the headway.

The only other factor is how well people execute the instructions provided to them.

i.e.  JSOS getting the chop in round 1, Cunningham getting Omitted vs North, Lamb getting Omitted on the back of his West Coast game, and Ill go early and state that SPS should get dropped this week, but probably won't.

I was bemused by all of these decisions regarding dropping players, but none of them were overly surprising as they didnt really hurt the opposition enough.
