Not sure a good hip and shoulder bump that doesnt even contact the head should be given the same grading as a deliberate swinging leg though.. the Sturt player knew he’d really fxxked it up from the second he did it.

Reckon he should’ve got minimum 3 weeks.. swinging a leg out like that can have catastrophic consequences for both the player doing it and the bloke he trips..

He was lucky the impact wasnt that bad..

As I’ve previously said, the SANFL have come down hard on incidents with high contact this year. If anyone really wants some perspective then go back and look at other MRP decisions. From the vision I can’t tell how and where Wright got them high, I’m sure the umpire was closer than anyone on here.

Where did you hear that? Huge if true, he dominated against Glenelg last time. Would of course also allow Borlase to go back.

Dam. Thought he still was to be tested. It’s only Tuesday. Game not till Sunday.

Said on channel 7 news tonight he won't be available this week... so gather not even close.

 

[Bearded Clam]

Strachan still out injured this week unfortunately.

Faaaarks sake… we need him

 

[chazwazza]

Faaaarks sake… we need him

This is what happens, Sturt will be without our best big midfielder, our most competitive ruckman, one of our best intercept defenders and our most senior small defender.
We’ll face a pretty well fully fit Centrals.
It is what it is.

So by my count we only have 25 to pick from with no Strachan and assuming Crouch doesn't play.

20 from the above team plus Sigal, Templeton, Sharrad, Kappler and Johnson missing with two of those to go in to cover Strachan and Crouch.

[PeterSalt]

Lol .. Gollant named as the ruck

 

[cleanhands]

Lol .. Gollant named as the ruck

I think they maybe serious

 

[PeterSalt]

I think they maybe serious

I know .. and it's pretty funny

Ruck shared between Borlase, Gollant and Sigal?


They'll be right, Borlase and Gollant have long arms and Sigal has a great leap

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Lol .. Gollant named as the ruck

Think I would prefer to use Borlase.

 

[PeterSalt]

Think I would prefer to use Borlase.

Maybe.

Someone was saying the other day Glenelg don't really have a decent ruck either

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Maybe.

Maybe but overall, they are a very tall side. They play the square well.

 

[crows dude]

Borlase will be needed to cover their tall forwards

So, now that Crouch's contract is sorted I assume he'll be in this week.

Owes his team mates and wouldn't want to let them down, invaluable experience to pass on, large injury toll, club first attitude etc

Surely there's no thinking that him playing would be completely pointless for a senior player with nothing to prove in a game the club doesn't really care about. Right?

If he’s not injured it’s extremely poor

The club already announced he won't be playing, stating it was a collaborative decision with the high performance team to prep him for next year.

Crouch ruled out of SANFL finals

The decision was made in consultation with Crouch, coaches and high performance staff

Seems eminently sensible

Will be interested to see if there's any scathing responses from our fans

 

[Matt27]

The statement from the club on Crouch is totally unacceptable for several reasons. First, I am certain that when we joined the competition, we gave assurances that we would not do this, particularly in finals. I seem to recall the words “play the line” were used at the time, and may even be in our agreement. Until now, I believe we have honoured this, but apparently not any more. It is totally disrespectful to the competition to treat a final this way, and will give justification to those who don’t believe we belong in the competition. Also, I think it has really assisted our player development that we have managed to attract better quality top up players to our SANFL team; what message does this send to them? Bottom line; if a player qualifies and isn’t injured they absolutely should play.

The club can't have it both ways. They can't claim we are one club with three teams united then rest a gun player for the SANFL finals because the SANFL doesn't matter.
