If I was Georgallis I wouldn't give a fark about giving young guys a game or 2 this year. The objective would be to win games to promote my credentials, so picking the best player in each position is hardly a surprise. Our opinion of what is best for the Bulldogs for next year is completely irrelevant, look after yourself first, particularly when they have told him he's no longer required.
BTW just because Hopoate has #1 on his jumper doesn't necessarily mean that he is playing fullback, ditto 14 to 17.
