They are logical:roar wrote:I was in the "he'll stay" camp until now. I just don't agree that the reasons for his dropping are logical.
1. He was the sub last week so clearly on the edge of selection
2. We had brought Marsh in as another medium-tall defender
I felt that we would play one of Marsh or Scharenberg this week. My preference was for Scharenberg as I think Marsh is more likely to make crucial mistakes, but it's not a surprise that we decided to stick with the first gamer.
Add to all this that Scharenberg has been a long time out of the game, he wouldn't be at peak fitness and playing a string of senior games would be a stretch.

Yep, got about half his possessions on one transistion from our back pocket into our forward line but that is the type of line breaking run we want to see from him that hasn't happened at VFL level yet so not all bad.Beast wrote:His numbers looked good on paper but at a closer inspection most of his possessions were dinky 1-2 hand passes with bugger all impact on the play.
He's miles away from the player he was projecting to be prior the injuries so it's quite possible he's been dropped on form.
