Always Right Match Committee Round 14 vs Fremantle Dockers

[Before I Die]

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 14 vs Fremantle Dockers

I don?t get the angst. Khamis came in last week. Are posters arguing he should be omitted after ten minutes of game time? Busslinger is unproven and this game is critical, calling for his debut is more about a new toy than a solid plan. Let him debut when he has good support around him. Cody and Ed are in which is great. And Ed is now clearly seen as a midfielder, so who goes out. It could have been Sanders, or Daniel, or MacCrae, or Garcia. I see that decision as a toss of the coin, so I?m happy to go with the MC. I guess Scott should be included in that discussion, but the MC have been keen to get him back into the team for some time and suspect he will have a specific role. Re Buku, the MC saw what we saw last time, so I?m actually not expecting to see the same thing happen again.

Good post BID, I wholly agree with you. Garcia was a surprise omission, but there will be a good reason - perhaps not following the game plan, or needs to work on his defensive side?

Bramble is named in the back pocket, fullback line, where else is he going to play ? But I agree with you, he wont get anywhere near Amiss, Treacy, Jackson or Darcy.

He'll play in defence on one of their smalls - Walters, Switkowski, Frederick, Sturt or a resting mid. The named positions don't mean anything.

As it stands right now, Harvey Gallagher is on track to record the second lowest player rating average of any player to play every game in a season, going back to 2012. The only one lower is Ryan Crowley in 2013 (his tagging days).

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 14 vs Fremantle Dockers

Are so many others have posted, the omission of Garcia makes little sense relative to the players retained on the side. If I was him, I would be contemplating a move to Perth.

Tedn to agree with this. Khamis showed a bit early. Deserves to be next cab off the rank. Garcia is a bit of disappointment, but with Libba and Ed back, he is the spare.

GG I'm sure there's an AI generated Prince Harry mashup you can work on with this material.

Garcia being omitted is enough to pull me out of posting retirement to write

''What the actual f*** are we doing?''

You've normally got the skinny or a version of it, any ideas outside of team balance/ performance that might be driving his omission?

None on this occasion.

I'm praying it's something to do with the illness that's sweeping through the club at the moment. From being firmly in our best 22 to being omitted and not even listed as an emergency is so incredibly confusing, specially as he was one of three players who showed some fight against Brisbane.

Maybe its disciplinary? Pure speculation.

I would hope that we get a response from Bevo or the club on this omission today.

If it?s anything other than due to discipline I?m going to riot.

I thought we had turned the corner in terms of selection integrity, but if this is form related then it?s a ****ing disgrace.

So not the rising star winner you say?

Welcome back.

I like Garcia but I guess what has he done over the past couple of weeks that we are gonna miss?

I'm way too lazy to look stuff up but I'm pretty sure his tackling has dropped right away the last few weeks - he laid 5-6 in his first 3-4 games and lately it's been more like 1-2.

I totally get the conversation around "it shoulda been Gallagher" etc but Garcia is still a young developing player and needs to be held accountable for his week-to-week performances. We need him playing on the edge, not playing on the edge of the contest.

I wasn't impressed by him last week and whilst I'm surprised he's out I think it is unfair to say that Garcia being left out is a sign of the apocalypse.

Hey welcome back!

I love Garcia too but I'm ok trying something different. With Ed and Tony in who else do we drop? Gaggs tends to play wing.
