Team selection - more than ever - will be important in 2009. No more "untouchable" selections for certain players eg Russell, Wiggins etc and we should make the finals in 2009.
What started out as a reasonable post lost all credibility with that.
If Wiggo is an untouchable selection, why didn't he play in Rd 22. he was available. Why didnt he play all those weeks he was playing in the Ants?
Sometimes people let their personal vendettas against certain players cloud their logic.
Lovely guy - don't get me wrong, but we need forwards who can kick goals and regularly.
Wiggins - round 12 to 16 -
1 goal vs Collingwood
0 goals vs Essendon*
1 goal vs Richmond
0 goals vs St Kilda
0 goals vs Sydney
He tries his heart out and deserves his spot on form, but when his form dips then he should be considered for the Magoos like any other player.
In the early 80's - Harmes, Marcou, Sheldon and other legends of the club were dropped from time to time. I see no reason why Wiggins and Russell cannot be dropped if their form drops over a prolonged 4-5 week period.
