It's an obvious article. I don't really think it touches all that well on the bigger issues.
The first point was dropping George Hewett for the Giants game. We were 39 points up and had scored 50 points in the first quarter. I think most of us would have preferred he played but do we really think that had he, the result wouldn't have been the same?
Then the next one was Matty being played as the sub for the Dogs game. Again, not one most supporters would pick but something this team should be able to overcome.
If we can't have someone like George/Matty miss a game without capitulating, the game plan is in far bigger trouble than we already know it is. It's clear as day that our players will need to be rotated better next season to keep them fresher for longer through the season. That can't happen if we're unable to win without them.
For me the key is the bolded bit.
If we're going persist with a bunch of heavy weight bulls then the number players who can rotate through the middle and
the number of rotations needs to be spot on; meaningful minutes rotating through the middle for our half forwards
and regularly.
Add in Stamos's point re selection misfires further compounded by injuries (also ultimately at the selection door re at least Cotterall, Cez straight back in and bringing back a sore TDK against Briggs as mentioned) and here we are.
