Committed yesterday. Unfortunate as I was very keen and excited for the selection but the opportunity to grab Preuss as an onfield selection, Xerri to receive dual position status and the cash to be used to upgrade a mid rookie to Oliver in the next few rounds to push McCartin to the bench and Daicos to the backline if all goes as planned, is too hard to resist. Matchup against Melbourne next week means it is unlikely Preuss would be dropped, for Flynn to go in alone.
A key reason for starting Marshall was the hope that Ryder would start relinquishing ruck contests and Marshall would receive a 65-35 odd split which seems unlikely to happen so far and unfortunately he has not contributed around the ground like I would have hoped in the past fortnight.
