He would have been guaranteed this game.
But Marshall was taken as a rookie when McCartin was taken as a No1 draft pick.
Rookies don't get the same chances even though everyone is equal after they are recruited.
When you are a first round pick you get more chances because the powers that be are reluctant to admit to a mistake.

Re: Team vs. Bulldogs
Is this the first time Coffield and Clark played together? I seem to think they have been swapping for each other a lot.....

Re: Team vs. Bulldogs
Coffield and Clark have got plenty of senior and VFL games into them this year which is a massive bonus. The club has handled them well and not flogged them in their first year which can ruin a kid's career. I like the fact they haven't really got injured (not that I know of) which shows they have some durability. That always helps to become a good regular player.
They are only going to get better folks and were great pickups. Lets hope we can get another gun in this draft. Please come down to Moorabbin Bailey Smith.

A shame he hasn't been able to get a good run at it this year and recapture something closer to his best.

Love The Gilbo, but I'm afraid his time might be up. A great warrior for our Club.

Gilbert's the last member of the GF sides remaining. The others were on the list but didn't play in the GF.dragit wrote: ↑Sat 04 Aug 2018 10:58amGeary?samuraisaint wrote: ↑Sat 04 Aug 2018 9:55amArmitage was there too.

Re: Team vs. Bulldogs
About half the posters on this forum questioned the omission of Marshall, and in particular who would be the backup Ruckman if needed.Toy Saint wrote: ↑Thu 02 Aug 2018 11:34pm I've been calling for Mav to have a spell in the 2nds for a couple of months, and I'm not a huge fan of Savage, I would have been fine if they were both omitted.
Marshall didn't exactly set the world on fire last week, but I reckon he's an ideal 2nd ruck. Not sure who has that role now, as Gilbert would have been my next choice.
Criticizing the selectors with the benefit of hindsight is really not fair. Fact is a major reason we lost that game is because Hickey went down and there was no bloody backup ruckman. If the coach and his selection panel think Acres is an adequate back up ruck, then I'm going to seriously question the football knowledge of that coach and his selection panel. Objectively, it's time for this coach and his selection panel to move on and let somebody else have a go.
