Could do with a rest. Body looks crushed after a few weeks of batterings

No, he absolutely does not. He looks sore more than anything

Agree. Needs a breather
As someone who has been frustrated by him this year, I have to admit I saw his game today in a whole new light compared to previously. He's being asked to play a very draining physical role for the team. If he gets rested then Bobby or Ginni need to play as a quasi-KPP.
His ball handling, class and execution is missing this year, but I have zero question marks over his contest work. I think as long as if his contest work is up then Fly would be happy.
He's judged to a different set of standards than our other small/medium forwards.

Yep, most of our forwards have struggled the last few weeks, but he and Mihocek are the only ones consistently giving a good contest when the ball isn't clearly to their advantage. (Obviously Beau too, but most of his work has been a bit higher up the ground)

Had a hand in some very important passages for us in the last quarter. Looks incredibly sore and hampered though. Needs a rest for a week, not a spell in the twos. Huge difference.

Got busier and involved in the last term and was covering the ground better.
He’s working hard without much reward at moment but it will turn for him.

Had a huge last qtr. His work rate is excellent and also offers us versatility up the ground if we need it.
Still an absolute lock in this side.

He badly needs a spell.
When is Lipinski due back?

Reminds me of how beaten up Checkers looked towards the end of last year.
He's been asked to play 3rd tall which isn't helping.
He's a warrior. Would love it if we had the luxury of sending him to Noosa for a few days. He'd very likely refuse the offer.

Is it worth playing him when he is clearly hampered? I'm thinking more about what Geelong did last year and rested some of their sore players throughout the year. But then again, they didn't have the injuries we have this year I Suppose

Unless it makes anything he's carrying worse, it's worth playing him. Our forward line is limp at the moment, he's one of the few cracking in.

Injury and illness have depleted our stocks such that the cupboard is bare. Sidebum got on a flight on his own yesterday and Moore was touch and go with 20 minutes to the first bounce.
Billy fights on. He's what we have.

Watched the last quarter again last night and it was noticeable how active Jamie was - seemed to find his groove leading up the ground and generally putting himself about.
Hopefully this translates to a full game next week - we need him back in form.

I don't want him dropped. Just a bit concerened and jealous that we can't rest our sore players. We seem to have an injury curse

It was a dirty night for all of our forwards. Limited opportunities in crappy conditions. Elliott's forward pressure is second only to Beau's. 6 tackles last night, most sprints last week, he is going ok. The goals will come.
I agree he is far from his best but whether its just a slump or he's carrying a niggle the guy is a gun. His pressure is still intense and his involvement in getting to a contest and providing another link-up option is elite. He never gives up and I feel he is only one goal away from regaining his mojo and tearing the opposition a new one.
An absolute starter.

2 weeks ago I said we should rest him for the Adelaide game, Have to rest him this week.
Carmichael deserves a game on current form.

I agree with all of this, but I would also add that he seems to be struggling in one-on-one contests at the moment in a way I’ve not observed before.

Looks very sore in the lower back, can’t get low at the moment. 
Form is a worry but you would back him in to reverse the trend.
Conditions were tough for our small forwards yesterday.
