Rutten back?

[beartoo]

afc.com reports that Ben is possible starter for the MMC grannie. Good idea to bring him straight back or not? I'd be for.

Would be good to give him a game before the season but not if he isn't very close to 100%.

Trust the clubs judgement here, however would love to see him rested for this game... still 2 weeks to go until the real stuff and I would prefer to be cautious with him to ensure he is ready to go round 1.

 

[Paladin]

If he can, he should play to ensure he is up to speed for round 1.

 

[Allefgib]

Plus one pally

 

[WALL-e]

More km's in the legs for Rnd 1 is good. Even if he only plays a half.

Wall-e are you saying he should play a half in the NAB final or a half for West Adelaide?

Because we can only play the standard 22 players this week, we can't have him only playing a half. This week he either plays a minimum of 90% game time or he doesn't play.

I agree it would be good, if he's ok, to play a game before round 1.

Plus two. If he's recovered from his injury then he needs to play, so that he's got enough match fitness to be cherry ripe for R1.

2+2 bench. sub him off if he needs it.

 

[King Elvis]

Wouldn't risk him.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Half a game for Westies reserves

 

[cmndstab]

I heard on the radio today that he wouldn't play.

 

[Saborn]

I think in the long run, we would be better off having him not have played prior to r1 but be completely fit than miss games that matter because he played when he shouldn't have.

I know they could be famous last words but our opponent round one is gold coast, not a bad way to ease into the season if he doesn't play.
