Bigger than Sheezus?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Has it been confirmed that it's the remnants of that original training concussion, as opposed to a new one from the Geelong game?I'm wondering what type of activity we were doing at training for this concussion to be so bad (and lasting) for George. I'd imagine at this time of the year there would be little to no contact at training and more focus on skills and recovery.
I was wondering the same thing myself but they’ve since said it was from an incident late in the Geelong game. I didn’t see it, not sure if anyone else saw what happened.Has it been confirmed that it's the remnants of that original training concussion, as opposed to a new one from the Geelong game?
If he's fit, play. Nothing to be gained by sitting him out "just in case"...his first head knock was at training....

Well George does like a bit of theatre so it wouldn’t surprise me if he came out and smashed it!I just put another pineapple on George for the Rising Star, i know he has missed a few games but that headbanded Dempsey @ $1.12, and our boy at $21 was irresistable, put in a couple of big ones George, and remind everyone of the true pecking order.
Yep, this is so true for me too. Love watching him go about it. I was glad when he finally played in a win this year but yeah, that’s a shit return for a guy who plays like his life depends on it every week. A miracle win this week would be nice!He's a perfect coping mechanism for the otherwise completely inexcusable loss last week. Missed our first two wins last year due to being underdone, came in, played in approx. 10 straight losses, got injured, and missed the R23 win too.
Then this year he finally played in a win, got injured, and missed the next two wins. Playing in one win in seven would be a diabolical record for a guy so firmly entrenched in our best 22
Hopefully. He was a off and fumbled a bit after the last one vs Sydney. Medicos need to keep a close eye on him. He's too important long term.Yep, agree. He’ll be raring to go
definitely won’t happen again, greenwoods playing vfl this week soo he should be fine hahaIf he's fit, play. Nothing to be gained by sitting him out "just in case"...his first head knock was at training....

Midfield is his best position.Is midfield George’s best position? I’m starting to think not, for a few reasons.
His stoppage craft is a bit crap. As roos_fanatic08 posted in the game day thread, he’s just bull at gate every time, which so often leaves an outlet for the opposition.
He just doesn’t get enough of the ball, especially clean ball in space or in possession chains. Pretty much every possession comes from a fight to the death.
Third, I think a few people saw George’s combine results that Souup posted this week. That vertical is off the charts, can more be made of it elsewhere, i.e the forward line?
Is Wardlaw potentially the unicorn small forward we so desperately need?
PS. Sorry to tag you guys, I’m not trying to drag you into my (potentially silly) argument. It’s just that you guys crystallized something that has been nagging at me. Feel free to disagree 100%. I know we all respect your opinions about these young guys more than anyone.
