Would he?
I would think he would prefer a cautious approach with Muzz in games that absolutely dont matter.

No idea where this theory that Burgo is risking players comes from.
There was an interview with Burgess when he got to the club where he suggested he wanted people to train through niggles - I would assume thats where the theory originated.
A shoulder requiring surgery isn't a niggle but keep going.
Hmmmm.... Sounds like a niggle to me. Managed to get through an SANFL the week before with the same niggle.
Plenty of players play through niggles that require end of season surgery.
Cmon mate, an injury requiring shoulder surgery isn’t a niggle. Shoulders are a shocker of a place to get an injury, ****s a lot of stuff up including sleep.Hmmmm.... Sounds like a niggle to me. Managed to get through an SANFL the week before with the same niggle.

And when it’s no longer possible he will pick his most experienced team to build momentum for next year.Nicks selections this week will be based on believing the Crows can still mathematically make the 8. Nothing will change.

Actually, it will only take the Dogs to win on Friday night to unofficially end the Crows season in 2024, regardless if we win on Saturday.And when it’s no longer possible he will pick his most experienced team to build momentum for next year.
Of course even if we did win some games and get on a roll he will ruin all of that in the off season.
Ok Doctor.

The fact he played with it is irrelevant when the argument is he shouldn’t have, as for end of season surgery, Pedlar had his with what 8 weeks to go in the season?
You're the knowledgeable one.
If we were a well run Club, we should be making sure that every player is cherry ripe for a strong preseason.It's a pointless exercise. Just rest up for next season.

That includes doing any surgeries/treatment/rehab now in preparation for this.
Of course they wont. You watch how a few key players will have minor surgeries in September/October, which will impact their start to preseason.That would be using commonsense. The AFC don't do that.
pretty sure plenty of players have played though with strapping and waiting til the end of the year for shoulder surgery. Porps did it for us, shoulder popped out multiple times but played through it.Cmon mate, an injury requiring shoulder surgery isn’t a niggle.

Player hurts shoulder. Requires surgery, but won't be hurt further if he tries to play.
Tries to play. Re-injures shoulder and needs surgery. Will be recovered in time to participate in preseason training with no restrictions according to Burgess.
Don't see the real problem here.
To be fair, there's not a single coach in the AFL who wouldn't drop Curtin to make way for Dawson.Only Nicks will bring in Smith off injury and illness instead of Ryan. Only Nicks will drop Curtin to make way for Dawson. Only Nicks will retain Murphy.
What should happen is Himmelberg, Borlase, Murphy and Cook for Murray, Worrell, Dawson and Ryan but it wont
