any news on the injury? hopefully a 1 week job?
I believe so.
My sauce tells me that someone who believes that Sauce belongs in the fridge was not impressed that he had been left out for too long and needs some recovery time.

The integrity of the sauce is not in question according to Gillon.

There is no injury. The club has taken care to state that ROB will not be part of any resting plans for this week.
Doesn't the fact that ROB is not part of any resting plan suggest that Sauce is injured? I.e. we haven't upgraded him so he can play to give Sauce a rest, we have upgraded him because we need someone to play in ruck.

Unless...
He has been upgraded as part of the rules where a rookie can be upgraded before the end of the season to the main list. This is good management in case anything happens during finals.

The club statement - http://www.afc.com.au/adelaidecrows/news/2015-09-03/obrien-upgraded-to-senior-list
This is all true - but does it have to be done before round 23? If so, then of course he should be upgraded now as insurance and there's no reason to think there's anything wrong with Sauce.

If not, it suggests there's something wrong with Sauce, because otherwise why would we upgrade him before we have to?
 
I don't see it.

We should rest Sauce.

No we shouldn't. Watching Sauce, he thrives on continually playing. He also trains fully with the midfielders, hence why the boys nickname him 'Tall Mid'. And sorry it was part of the tweet that accompanied the story.

The end of the season is coming this week. My understanding is that finals don't count, it has to occur by today.
 
Sauce has to be an out. A rest would benefit him immensely, let's be honest, a win/loss won't make one hell of a difference. Let's hope we're competitive with a debutant ruck. By all reports, he's good.

I also got on at 2pm. Cats were paying $2.50, only two hours later they are $1.80 favourites, Sportsbet have contacts, we're resting a couple for sure...
 
No doubt we're gonna rest a couple IMO. We'd be silly not to especially should North lose. Maybe not to the North/Freo level but maybe 4 or 5.
