Ummmmm. Surely Stott (and Bowen) are good enough to be picked. Has a bit of whiff of a player verus coach power struggle about it all. Stuff sadly all to familiar when we are talking about the Ferns.
Michael Mayne was of course an assistant with Klimkova, so all too aware of the issues inside the Ferns during Jitka's weird reign.
Another heavy loss on Tuesday and gotta be some question marks around Mayne, especially re this non selection matter of Stott and Bowen. Remembering it was 3 losses without a goal (GF 0 & GA 9) recently in North America as well.
Stott's getting focus since these games are in Aus but Katie Bowen's the more egregious absence - she's our highest performing player at club level right now
Meanwhile a semi-retired Annalie Longo has been in every squad this year (justifiably... but very weird in this context)

At the start of the year, it was painted as a bit of rotation early in a World Cup cycle, now the explanation is that "she knows what she needs to do"
