Daniel Wells as sub , yeah or nay

[La Flama Blanca]

Decisions like this are the definition of 'high risk, high reward'. It can pay dividends i.e Cyril Rioli in last years grand final, but can also backfire heavily. I reckon Wellsy can be the difference and if he trains hard enough, why not take a punt!

Cyril had been out for half as long and barely touched the ball!

He's not fit. It's as simple as that.

 

[Jay-Z]

No.

He needs to be cherry ripe for next year.

Absolutely tip top.

It's too early to be worrying about next year. I'll do that when we drop out of the finals

Having said that, if he's sub you'd have to be confident he could play at least 3 quarters if we cop an early injury and if you're confident of that, why make him sub?

Wells is a professional athlete for sure and footy's a game that demands courage and the willingness to put your body on the line, but he has also broken his body playing footy for our enjoyment. Like all players we should give a shit about his (and their) long term welfare. If anyone can guarantee his body can hold up and he can run out most of a game then play him. If we're just adding to short and long term injury then no way. If he's ok by the GF maybe...

And what jay Z said.

 

[The Maestro]

No.

Absolutely tip top.

Agree with this sentiment.

Have a feeling next year will be top 4 or bust and a fit wellsy will need to be a big part of it.

 

[Junk yard]

Looks like he's been eating subs.

ney ney

 

[Rooboy 96]

on last weeks form I would prefer to see Dumont (or Daw if we could guarantee not needing to use it till the last quarter) as the sub.

 

[Naked_North]

So sad

Who's Daniel Wells?

He will play.

 

[the big lebowski]

I love Wells more than most but history is littered with teams taking underdone players into finals at it not working out.

Wells has played 3 half games and got hurt in all 3.

I hope he does not play.

 

[nelroo]

He will play.

I hope not.

If he is selected, it has the potential to end in tears.

Cannot take him into a final IMO.

 

[bengrina]

He will play.

No chance. It just shows how desperate Scott is becoming

The most recent being Cyril in the Grand Final last year. That turned out terribly!

But yeah, I agree with you. As much as I'd love to see Wellsy back it's a massive risk!

 

[Shinbonermagic]

No chance, he's underdone and it's a final.

 

[Ahern2Boof]

Nae nae.
