    Cometh the moment, cometh the man. The moment comethed, but Stack didn'teth.
    I'm a huge fan of your work but doesn't that discredit your opinion for the other 20+ games we play a season?

    It's only a 40min flight so I would've thought even if someone hurt themselves at training or got sick overnight there would still be time to get an emergency up here.

    Good luck to the Zeph.
    Hope he becomes a gun.
    Although not sure about the selection.

    On one level you are right. On many more, you are wrong.

    Assigning a loss to a single moment in a game is short-sighted...and allows the group as a whole to absolve themselves of the loss - after all, it was Stacky's fault. It allows the coaching group to absolve themselves of the loss - I mean, if he had only...

    I don't like this thinking, it doesn't helpt the idea of team and I always believe that unless skill/decision making errors are being consistently repeated then selection decisions should be made based on players who have not done ANYTHING rather than those who had the courage to ACT but made a mistake.

    Against Fremantle we had 9 players with less than 15 possessions (an average score in modern footy) and 14 with less than 3 1%'ers...11 fit into both categories (Stack was in neither). To me, a young kid who offered run and carry and committed to team acts was not the main problem we had that night.
    What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

    Well said MJP.
