On this forum we all like to express our thoughts as to which players should be chosen to represent MFC each week. Naturally, we don't all agree. Most of the blame is aimed at Neale Daniher for having all the say in who is playing. Can someone please tell me and others (if they don't know) who is on the MFC selection panel? Is it just the coaches etc or are there some experienced ex Demon players voting on who gets a game or not?JADED or WHISPERING JACK surely one of you two learned gentlemen know the answer?

I was under the impession they just put names in a hat and selected the first names picked from the hat.

Don't know how Jaded will feel about you calling her a gentleman, she may prefer "lady".

By the way, Neale, Neita and a few of the coaches like Williams, Riley and Curran make up the bulk of the Selection Committee.

With Danners getting the final call.

I remember hearing an interview with him last year where he said the final decision rests with him.

Just out of curiousity, in what way do you think the selectors got it wrong. Pre-game, i thought they got it pretty much right with who was available

Selection Committee = Daniher, P Williams, Riley and Curran. Danners has the final say.

& thats the way Daniher has always wanted it. He once said whats the point of being the coach if you can't pick your own side.

I wasn't actually criticising team selection but just wondered who, besides Neale, picked the team. Maybe it's time however to try a few more young guys.
