How Peder and Dale Whelan both didn't get selected in the squad will forever have me baffled.
Both unavailable I believe.
Not so 'baffling' I guess. It's part of the issue of interleague footy every year and I'd suggest in almost every league. We all want the 'best' team on the park, but if those 'best' players are not interested in playing, then they are not worth having. Some leagues do/have in the past forced players to play by suspending those who pull out.
I don't have the answer to the problem, but I'll go as far as to say the O&M couldn't have done much more than it did in the lead up to last weekends match. Let's move on, we lost!
