Hello, am a new member but have been lurking and reading posts for a while.
I think the coach and match committee did go through their processes and did make a decision without emotion when they left it up to JM to made the final call.
They balanced the prospect of him performing badly and the risk of not getting 4 PP with managing the club's relationship with their co-captain who has done so many things right for the club over many years, trusting his judgement (just as they do on the footy field) and to provide some extra leadership to the younger players. The committee trust JM to make the right call as the onus for him to get it right is much higher as the co-captain and role model for the younger players. They made a calculated risk just like when they go the opposite way and keep someone in the 2s longer and give a younger less experienced player the senior spot, or play someone who is sore but not clearly injured.
One of the reasons I have supported the Swans for so many years is they rarely get the people management and player development side wrong whilst still being so successful on the field as well.
That said, I would have preferred JM to play himself in the 2s like Goodes did when he was given the green vest multiple times last year.
Hope JM plays well of course to prove us all wrong!
