Yeah McInerney for Stephens when he’s fit and that’s our best team imo.Almost a full strength team. Happy Horse isn't content were we are.

Spot on. CompleteWilliamson is a rat , all about his hair
I thought we were well up when we subbed him.We are in a titanic struggle against the Crows, with finals on the line:
“Papley’s hammy is tight, better sub him off”.
Six days later …
“Papley’s hammy is fine, he’s ok to play”.
Given the stakes in the Crows game, it wasn’t a great time for the medicos and physios to get it wrong.
We were - but subbing him off certainly didn’t help us in Q4.I thought we were well up when we subbed him.
I cant blame Horse for subbing a player when we're 30 points up - we should have easily held on. Which is very very disappointing and a damning indictment on our current midfielders when the part time mid/small forward leaves a gaping hole.We were - but subbing him off certainly didn’t help us in Q4.
I’m hoping he doesn’t twang this week - because hammies are either dodgy or they’re not.
we never play unfit players....
If we do strike me down with lightning
Reminds me of the Lee Trevino quote
Why would you risk Papley anyway.. We've made finals.
Its just a thing we do i dont understand it either
Given he is good this week I think would vindicate their call, your post would look different if they knew he reported tightness and they left him on and he pulled it. I don’t really get your post.We are in a titanic struggle against the Crows, with finals on the line:

Holding his 7 iron….Reminds me of the Lee Trevino quote
“If you are caught in a storm and are afraid of lightning hold up a 1 iron. Even God can’t hit a 1 iron.”?
PS Trevino has been struck by lightning a number of times on a golf course.
If he is fit play him, I suspect our listed side won’t be the side that takes the field. Tightness can sometimes be a spasm, there is no automatic link to say he may be unfit because he reported tightness in a game.Why would you risk Papley anyway.. We've made finals.

I’m a skeptic - when I hear a player has reported “hamstring tightness” or “calf tightness”, it’s usually code for 2-4 weeks.Given he is good this week I think would vindicate their call, your post would look different if they knew he reported tightness and they left him on and he pulled it.

Still every chance of a late change to the team tomorrow I suspect.I’m a skeptic - when I hear a player has reported “hamstring tightness” or “calf tightness”, it’s usually code for 2-4 weeks.
I can’t recall the last time a player was subbed out due to a hammy or calf but was right to go the following week.
Someone can probably find examples - but if we’d have lost the Crows game, questions would have been asked re: the Papley sub.
And if he twangs this week …..
