We lost it at the selection table

[Tony Braxton-Hicks]

This thread has been a long time coming, so we may as well formalise it.

I’ll begin.

Mansell. Cumberland may or may not have made a difference, but given our poor forward entries I’m confident Juddy’s disposal and nous would have made the difference tonight.

 

[Redford]

Mansell and Ross.

 

[dimmauchump]

Add Cotch to that. Had an ordinary game with no impact

 

[Willo]

We need more pace in the forward lines.
Where’s George………

 

[RUNVS]

Mansell and Ross.

Ross is the most useless player on the list. Offers NOTHING IMHO.

 

[Rantnrave]

Mansel ross
Over
Cumberland sonsie and clark

Guarantee you George would have helped us win that

 

[Willo]

Guarantee you George would have helped us win that

Imagine George coming on as the medical sub. Carlton players would have got dizzy trying to follow where he was going.
George would be still running flat out an hour after the game finished

Par for the course.
No-ones sniping, we allowed to critique performance.

Did we lose?

Ross as a sub doesn’t make sense to me. Gut runner, not an impact player.

Cardboard cut out.

Shocking

Selection is debated each week, before and after games. Why not catalogue it in one place? It doesn't have to be disrespectful. In this instance, I argue that Judson Clarke would have given our I50 advantage more power than a defensive forward in Mansell (1 tackle). Do you agree or disagree, or have an alternative selection option?

 

[Juffaricho]

Our forward line applied decent pressure. We know that little of that comes from Dusty, Jack or Lynchy. So be careful if you tip the scales too far and remove one of the others. Unless you know the guy coming in can apply pressure.

 

[thomas the tiger]

Have to agree. Cumberland should have played.

Ross looked slow when he came on. He did a few good things but not what you need from a sub.

Mansell not sure what he is adding to the team.

 

[Merveille]

Funnily enough Cumberland would be a dynamic sub, but I suppose it needs to be someone more a Utility

 

[BT Tiger]

Considering we didn't lose you can't really say we lost it at the selection table.

Gut runner, are U kidding. Slow as treacle.
