I think the club needs to maintain integrity and consistency of message across the board, for themselves, supporters and players. If they are genuine about one week at a time, not looking beyond the next game, focusing on process, control what you can control etc, then the selection criteria needs to follow the normal seasonal procedures. If a player cannot get through 4 quarters comfortably in their normal position, then they don't play. Any deviation from that, and certainly one that is not endorsed by the playing group, just undermines confidence in the systems and culture IMO.
