He shouldn't really even be in the discussion, that's why.
Nobody actually thinks even Simpson is dumb enough to bring him back after 1 WAFL game. That said, why is he even on the extended bench and supposedly in the mix? Where is Burgiel (apparently he's had his appendix out and yet is still an arguably better selection than Gaff) or Hall? Why have we, in a supposedly rebuilding team not moved on from the slow as treacle, soon to be 32yr old who's footballing confidence is at an all time low?
1 week in the WAFL doesn't fix that, let alone a WAFL practice game against an understrength team.
Just like last week, after they dropped him then named him anyway, it's a very bizarre thing for the MC to be doing.
Hall is on managed minutes. He’s not as close to selection as some would like to think imo. Will be another 1-2 maybe even 3 WAFL games before he really comes into contention.
Gaff on the bench is fine, even as travelling emergency.
