If Cuningham was available next week, would you bring him straight back in or make him come back through the VFL?

VFL. Missed a month and we won. Great sign when players have to earn their spots again even after injury

If we're rewarding performance, Polson doesn't stay.
We won

Fair enough.
It may not even come into consideration. For all we know, Cuningham might be another 1-2 weeks away.
Lets hope he gets out there sooner rather than later.
Of course. Polson or Cuningham?
You don't wait until you lose to realise; Gee, we really should have.......

Absolutely. With only 17 matches to go, there really is no time to waste; if they are fit, get our best players out there and let's ****ing win games.

And Polson did nothing.
Just because we won doesn’t mean we can’t make the team better.
Wouldn’t bring Charlie back, maybe another weeks rest might do the knee good if it blew up again after a training knock.
Like most I think:
Out: LOB, Polson
In: Stocker, Kennedy

I don’t agree but even then we are still about development. Guys like Polson need games and in blocks and that’s what we have done
JMO but I wouldn’t make any changes. What a great sign that would make.
If we have Charlie Cuningham Williamson Kennedy Stocker etc running round in the 2’s pushing for a spot surely that makes the players in the 1’s perform?
Big picture
Why does everyone pick Cuners when (a) we have no idea where his kidney is at and (b) he hasn’t played in four weeks... I mean I know he’s too good for
VFL, but he might need to blow the cobwebs out.

Charlie will never play 2's.

a) it's in his abdomen (I hope)
b) can blow them out on the training track and then in the AFL
He's a very good footballer who won't be short in terms of miles in the legs.
Is there really any other way though?
If you're not doing that, you'll always be chasing tail.
Sure, some here may say, "You're anti-Polson" but that doesn't make sense as otherwise one may be seen to be anti-Cuningham.
Cuningham may not be good to go though and Williamson may not have a post open to him just yet after a long comeback.
That's fine but surely we don't pat ourselves on the back and announce no changes just for the sake of it after one win. We have no reason to be that arrogant. Just pick the best team for the opponent at hand.

On the basis of that logic I'm all for dropping Cripps this week.
I think I’m with Soapy in that I wouldn’t change the team given we won and we looked balanced.
The problem is that if Cas has a complete shocker or Polson goes unsighted then there will be some yelling and screaming from the cheap seats. But you do have to reward the guys who put left their blood, sweat and tears on the park.
I do though think that Charlie, Cuners and Will makes us a three to five goal better team when in form.

True. But he may not be match fit. Will have done zero contact work in the last month.

Gallery from Thursday shows him with ball in hand in what looked like a contact drill, probably not full contact, though. We haven't had an update from Russell in the last week, so this debate may be moot, but given the image I am optimistic that he will be ready for Hawthorn.
I just really like Cunners. He's a beautiful player to watch.
