AFL Dream Team 2007

what medical qualifications do you hold to make that "call" ??

if the injury was as bad as it 1st looked I doubt that any qualified club medic would risk loading Hall with pain killers to get thru next game and risk suffering a far more serious injury in the process at this point in the season.

It's obvious that Hall was cleared by medical staff and they are in a far better position to make that "call" than you are.

Most likely.
But why risk making the injury worse?
The older and most valuable players down at the club should be very cautious with their rehab and they should not take any slight injuries into the game.
I mean, Lappin probably could have played this week, but why risk it?
Hird could probably play against St.Kilda AND Collingwood, but with only four days rest, why risk it?
Either his injury was talked up by the media who made it look worse than it really was, or he was a little stupid to play that game.

Barry Hall is 100%. Played his best game of the season today, and killed it.

Can anyone predict what Brad Johnson's and Nathan Bock's values are going to be after this round?

Thanks

Bock should come very close to a 30,000 profit... great start for him

100%
???
Ha.

 

[Drummond]

100%
???
Ha.

Does it matter?

He scored 111, he is a gun and only the stupid traded him out.

 

[Butane]

100%
???
Ha.

The only funny thing is you trying to justify why Sydney shouldn't have played Hall. LOL your the joke

 

[Drummond]

Barry Hall 111.

Thanks for coming.

Ok.
You are going off track here.
I know he is a gun and i know that people were stupid to trade him out.
If i had him, i would have kept him.
Look back to the "original" post though.
I said that he was a slim chance to play and it would have been pretty stupid of him to play.
I said this early on in the week and everyone agreed so i do not know why it is being bought back up now?

 

[theone5]

Barry Hall 111.

Thanks for coming.

Lol.
Classic.

which is my point. If swans medical staff felt the injury was bad enough to warrant a weeks rest I feel that that's what they would have done as I doubt any club would take such a risk which means that Hall's injury was not a bad one and the 5 or so days since that game was enough for Hall to be 100% fit.

Trading Hall based on "your own" medical assesment is not recommended...leave that decision to the medics

Fair enough, I'm just pretty satisfied with his performance today and can't believe people would trade out a player of his ilk.

Lappin didn't train.. so obviously he COULDN'T play

gee half of this thread is theone5 arguing...come on mate this is a good thread dont ruin it

Oh please Drummond.

He did his medial.

Only the stupid kept him, will break down in 2 weeks.

Getting Brad Johnson in return will be a much better trade in the long run.

Last time I started arguing I got 20 pages of this thread deleted...

In that case, I am a fool.

Big Bad Bazza is a gun, and dare I suggest you’ll be boarding his train in a few weeks.

I do not think arguments like this ruin threads.
They actually make them more interesting to read instead of scrolling through pages of crap like:
"Franklin...goal "
"Get into the game Hodge"
"Sinclair gone cold"
"Bad week for me"
Pointless posts which no one cares about.
These arguments are not personal so i do not see the concern.
It is like "On The Couch" or whatever where people discuss different issues sharing their own thoughts related to the topic.
If you do not like reading into it, then scroll straight past it.
Simple.

hes trying to ruin the thread like he ruined his team and his life

Incorrect.
Judd did not train last week but still played.
You do not have to train to play.
You might need to pass a fitness test only hours before kick-off though.
Lappin could have easily played this weekend but like Lethal said earlier on in the season, they are being extra careful with Lappin this year because they want him to have a good season and hopefully get back to his best.

Settle boys... all I know is I used every trick in the book and mind game I could think of on email to get my mates to trade him. FACT u don't trade a gun like him when at most he will miss one game.

ill be scrolling for ever in that case lol but i agree i dont see the point in people posting crap like "get into the game hodge" because no one really cares what players other people have or how their team is going

Exactly what i did i didnt have Bock so i traded in Bock
And will get Johnson this week for N.G.Brown as i have the 120 K left over

so yes Hall scored well but i would prefer Johno in the long run

and wow.. i 'wasted' one trade
