Fair enough.
I think that was sometning the match committee, Ratts etc would have said in the first couple of rounds or prior.
But, what if Ratts and O'Reilly are trying to play him (or other Demons selections they've made) in an attempt to play them in form, perhaps to save face?
I understand your point, but I think their treatment of Warnock shows they are prepared to select players on form. Sure, Warnock isn't from the Demons, but it's a similar situation where they made a big play for him and gave up plenty for him and his form didn't justify his presence in the side any longer. Look, I'm not rapt about the way Brock has gone so far, but I think he's still a bit impeded by injury. I thought he was ok yesterday, good against the Tigers and really good against the Lions. The thing about the Tigers and Lions games is that his body seemed right and he was moving freely.
The real question here is whether Brock's form warrants selection for the seniors or the Ants.
Yes the MC have made the hard call (what seems) reluctantly with both Warnock and Johnson, and I am suggesting the time is now overdue for Brock to find form and/or get his body right in the Ants, because he just doesn't seem to be in form imo; assuming my perception of his form is correct.
Well, looks like the MC are willing to make the tough call on Brock, even though I think the timing is a little strange. I didn't think he was so bad last week, and was just coming back from injury.
