And ftr, I do not support the cancel/you-must-lose-job culture . . . usually an apology will suffice, where it is owed.
But in this day and age, maybe this provides mechanism to elevate Macario or Campbell to full roster status.
1. The official press releases about the expansion state that the number of players on each roster have been increased from 18 to 22 players, implying that all 22 players now have the same status. Each match will have an 18 player team sheet, which is a different issue.
2. In case I am wrong about #1 (above) it's too late to replace players on the roster other than for a verified injury.
3. In case I am wrong about #2 (above) Jane Campbell is a goalkeeper so she would not be a replacement for an outfield player.
It's probably a moot point anyway, and I am pretty sure about #1 and #2, but there you have it.
