Going into last week, i think there was a full 18 players unavailable. Many of them defenders.
Who would you want coming in?
Setterfield has been the sub, is he good enough? Or is he another midfielder?
Stocker has been injured and for whatever reason hasn't really impressed.
So who else?
Unfortunately, the cupboard is bare.
So blame the match committee if you want, but they can only pick who is available.
The simple solution is replace like with like. That is, rather than bringing Cerra in for Boyd, Stocker should have come in.
If Cerra really deserved a spot in the 22, he should have replaced a mid/small forward.
Weitering coming straight back into the team is a no brainer but he should have replaced a mid/small forward to restore the balance last week’s selections upset. Any of Cerra, Newnes, O’Brien, Cottrell and Honey could justifiably be omitted.
If Kemp had to be dropped (I’m not sure why), Stocker should have come in. As it is, we could be setting Ryan, Rioli, Petrevski-Seton and their Cripps up for easy games.
