I have heard, not looking good.

You've heard that Martin won't be selected?

Very unlikely, but who know with Bevo.

Re: Always Right Match Committee - Finals Week 1
I'd select Martin and have Schache as medi sub. If Martin is struggling pull a shifty injury sub saying his shoulder or groin is playing up.
They've done studies you know, 60% of the time, it works every time!

If Schache comes in to play the third tall in defence then it only makes sense that Easton Wood is out.

I think so. Depends who has flown to Tassie too.

Yeah...but what if we lose someone at the first bounce and the medi sub is needed straight away.
I get what you are saying but if we are planning to use a 'SUBSTITUTE' for a 'set rotation', well...nothing else had better go wrong. If I was coaching I just wouldn't like this idea.
What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

Nothing worse than having to play one down for real halfway through the first quarter.

I think we have enough mid sized players to cover a mid injury but if a tall goes down we would be trouble. Schache makes sense imo either way

That's a very good point. Based on that I wouldn't do it either.

I see the Stef medi-sub thinking but he seems to have a legit issue with even getting to contests. Do do get him a scooter as well?

Re: Always Right Match Committee - Finals Week 1
I heard that the whole squad, minus Bruce were all coming down…as they’ve been told they won’t be going home til they literally lose..so could be 5 weeks away from Vic.
I will never see #16 the same!!
