Quote: G1 "I agree.
It's a baffling decision on the coach's part. But I've been baffled by softKirke's continual selection for about 18 months now dating back to Bluey's time.
That said, GH must back the coach in such matters as to undermine him would make what might be a bit of a mess much, much worse.
We have to separate McDermott's decision to play Kirke ahead of Cross from GHs handling of the subsequent fall out. The former s a head scratcher. The latter seems by the book.'"
I suspect (and could be wrong here) that it's all down to what happens in training. You have 2 players, one that knuckles down in training and one that larks about / turns up late / doesn't do what they're supposed to / etc. To try and keep some control of the team the coach has to pick the former and drop the latter.
