He was taking a speccy on the marking bags at training

Rumour has it that Russell was incognito as the marking bag

I'd be concerned with Motlop coming straight back into the 1's.
Think he needs a run first. A toe that turned into a double hammy injury doesn't really fill me with confidence he will be cherry ripe.

Saad and Fog straight back in please.

The Fantasia v Durdin debate is interesting. Both have been ordinary this year. Both also have potential upside, we really need one of them to find it though. At the very least need to bring constant pressure like Fog has since being reintroduced last year.

Like to see Kingy play with a corkey into the thigh and then the hamstring area in a span of 3 weeeks.

Might as well just call him soft and not beat around the bush the campaigner

What a flog

 

[Michael Jezz]

Tells you that they probably would have also injured themselves in the VFL also. If they're deemed fit to play they're able to run out a game whether it be VFL or AFL. They may not have the same 'touch' after a lengthy lay off but that's a different kettle of fish.

Totally different pace of game. At VFL level, if a player feels a twinge, he will come off straight away, at AFL level, he will push it to a greater limit

The same Jeremy McGovern whose body blew up after 6 seasons of Senior Footy (he didn't play until he was 22) causing him to miss between 7 and 15 games each of the last 3 years.

Weitering has had a couple of injuries across his journey, and yet he's played 167 career games already. McGovern has played 185 total. I find this an utterly absurd comparison if you are talking about durability. Weitering is a good chance to finish his career more than 100 games past McGovern.

Great ins if fog, mots and Saad get up

Yep great replacements for Fantasia, Durdin and Marchbank.

With Pitto out, I’d like to see Cowan in and release Kemp further up the ground.

 

[RPCB]

We’ve had so many injuries (weekly) that these media/TV outlets know they can use us as click bait and people will watch. Good thing this one was pretty much a nothing story.

 

[AlecDuncan]

Hmmm might need a break glass ruckman this week

The Smirk 43 hit-outs last weekend. May as well give him a whack sometime. Why keep him otherwise?

Durds has been ordinary since 2022. Perhaps he's a bust. He should be better than he is, but Troy Menzel.

Had to check your stats, that is quite remarkable

Witts would spank him on the spread

 

[The Blue Weirdo]

Witts would spank him on the spread

But if TDK doesn't show up, Witts will spank everyone else also.
Gives Harry a chance to regain form and use Kemp or Gov forward.

There was a sense early in his career, that Weiters lacked the capacity to play good footy with a niggle, overcome discomfort etc...

Such criticism was valid then, but certainly not now.

Bloke's a warrior.

Is Witts on the spread a threat? 35 goals in ten years doesn’t sound like it.

Wrong thread but Witts is really good between the arcs. Doesn't push too far forward or bsck. Still gets quite involved in transition

Managed.

They are taking the piss now. They have no idea whether anyone can stand the rigours of the game.

“Uhm. Shit dunno. Play him? Oh sorry. I mean… He’s right to play for sure. I think.”

So people complain that our injury prone players aren’t being managed correctly, then they see that they are being managed, and they crack it?

Hes played 10 games in about 4 years, maybe he was a bit sore? Maybe they don’t want to play him before a 5 day break, in a game where he’s potentially going to be needed?

Defensive continuity is everything. If Marchy was a risk, play him in reserves until he proves it....given his history he was a risk.

Poor.

Continuity is a lot, but you’re just not going to get it from some of these guys. So if he is indeed “managed”, I would’ve thought that would be met with praise from many on here, no?

Not sure what the injury is but Lemmey is not playing in the VFL today and it just says (injured). Wasn't on the injury list released on Tuesday.
