McAuliffe not playing and it says he's injured.

Reckon Michaels mail is looking like it might be correct...

 

[Buddy Tambling]

Mail?

Yeah had a message yesterday after the senior team was named advising McAullife missing due to injury and not cause we just didn't want to pick him.

Today now not been named in the VFL with injury so the mail was solid.

Almost glad it was due to a niggle and not because we just didn't want to select him lol

Unfortunate that Fawcett misses, but along with Hayes-Brown & Colina taking turns rotating out of the team it looks better balanced.

What is the injury?

“The in-form midfielder reported foot soreness before Wednesday’s main training session, with the Club opting for a cautious approach while he awaits scan results”

fantastic to see Smillie named.
do hope it's managed playing time and our boy makes it through with no problems.

 

[Drunken Wookie]

havent seen mention of 'managed minutes' for smilie hope he gets the full game. if youre a 19 year old athlete thats been running for weeks and cant run out a vfl game youre in trouble.

2-3 quarters I'd hope. It's not so much about the aerobic fitness, it's more the body conditioning, kid just did a hamstring in the training program, match load is a lot more, nothing wrong with playing a half or so and then progressing from there.

Yze is a new type of coach, training is optional.
