I dreamt about Tom Williamson last night. He's going to go well today

I really don’t get this theory that they are more likely to get injured playing AFL than VFL. They are playing full games in the vfl. They are going full throttle to try and get a call up. They are not managed. If anything I would bet they play more minutes in vfl than when called up.I really hope Charlie and Willo get through tomorrows game unscathed, i am sceptical about our injury management so far this season and would have liked Willo to have spent another week in the 2nds.
Our outs are a big issue and North have a much older and experienced side, i think we will go close tomorrow but a narrow loss won't surprise me and is not something that will change my opinion of where we are at.
I really hope to see:
Cuningham show some of his pre season form and build on his return game from last week.
Harry to maintain his form.
Charlie to play well.
A good showing from Stocker.
And
A blues win.
I have a couple of membership bar codes you could use if you want themSorry if this is the wrong place to post. I'm trying to pick up a couple of GA tickets for the game today on my membership but there appears to be none available. Does this make any sense to anyone?
Should I just turn up to the membership department at the ground?
Ta!
Yes please.Anyone keen to watch this game
I’ve got 5 Level 1 tix in the AFL members and I can’t attend as I’ve got to work later on today

Hope you can see the difference in the way you are being treated here compared to the vile abuse you delivered one of our posters earlier this year for a totally inoffensive comment. Play on.

They don’t manage their minutes in the vfl. Only in the first game or two back sometimes. Willo has played two full games back. So at each moment they have the same probability of injury due to load. If anything you’ve seen at afl level that (a) they get managed more and (b) any possible sign of injury they get pulled, not managed.It's possible. I see it different though.
I see it as, in the VFL you can manage a players minutes and you can play that player in a wide variety of roles to get the training or outcome you desire without much consequence.
In the AFL, you need to be 100% fit and ready to go and conditioned to your role, you can't just got sit behind the ball or hide in a position to get the feel of the game. If you or the team is 5-10% down, you get cut up.
If you get tired or are stuffed by 3/4 time in the 2nds you can be rested and the VFL side takes a hit and its ok as its for the greater good of the club. If you are stuffed by 3/4 time in the AFL and you need to be managed the whole club suffers.
Fingers crossed Charlie and Willo (and all others for that matter) get through unscathed.

Williamson laughs at your post.I am just countering the "speed" factor. Your backline in particular looks very slow with Simpson & Newman missing.
Cripps will of course be influential, but the loss of Kruezer is going to bite hard and Goldstein has been in very good form.
