Right now, I have faith the MC will pick the side that will give us the best chance of winning and they will have reasons and data to back the selections (they we simply aren't privy to). Of course after the fact (ie hindsight) it wont stop us from professing to have known better.

I hope you're right, but my faith in the MC has been sorely tested to the point where I don't have much left

Thats my point Prof, our faith is tested but its on face value without knowing all the facts and data the MC have in front them.

They played Charlie Curnow who was in doubt the whole week  against Hawthorn and he could barely move before his ankle completely gave way.
They clearly made a mistake there.

If we lose, the MC got in wrong.  If we win, the MC got it wrong because we should have won by more ... and that's despite the MC knowing just a tad more about the players' fitness, durability, likely match ups, etc.

According to SEN, McKay, Curnow, De Koning, Martin, Williams, McGovern, Cerra and Docherty all went full bore at yesterday's match sim and should all be available for selection.  A conundrum for the MC, but a good one to have.

Yes, mixed reports about Charlie that's all. Some say def in, some say def out. Might be named and will be given until just before the  warm up I reckon.

If Doc is selected and played, he would surely struggle with match fitness. I hope we don’t break him.

I was thinking along the same lines Mantis but Doc is always meticulous with his preparation and is probably one of our fittest players … and he won’t have the niggles that most players will have now.
