Finally something clicked last week and I get the need to select players and tweak game plan to better target your next opponents weaknesses but in this case I don’t think we should be making too many changes. We have to try and reproduce last weeks performance before we start getting too cute with selection or tactical changes.
In: player selected in round one, played a solid game as a mid/fwd, injured, missed 4 games, has had two weeks full training.
Out: player not selected in round one, played three games since, has had minimal impact in those games.
I don't think that's being cute, or making overly tactical changes. It's going back to a preferred player who won more ball, took more marks, gained more territory, laid the same number of tackles, had the same number of inside 50's, and negligably fewer score involvements/goal assists in one game, as the player he'd be replacing did in three.
It's a pretty logical change for me, and should only be avoided for medical reasons.
