It’s a weird situation. His talent is undeniable but his form has been underwhelming for large stretches of 2023-24. Now we find ourselves with him out of the team and the two roles he is best suited to occupied by players in good form. To upset either those form lines or structures by shoe-horning him in seems risky for a final.The thought of leaving SDK out or as a sub in this Geelong side, so bereft of talent, is simply preposterous. He would be our best key defender, best ruck, and probably even best second tall forward option. And a useful winger.
But Scott has a habit of making ludicrous selections in week one of finals when he has too much time to think, so you probably can’t completely rule him out being sub.
Which is why I found myself seeing him as sub. Gives you the option value without any of the problems described above.
