If they think he is ready then I would play him and I am not just saying it because it is North. They have taken an extra 2 weeks with his build up from what I hear and there are some blokes who do not need a run in the VFL.

Even just from the club injury report, states something along the lines of them taking a ‘conservative’ approach. I think he plays

 

[quotemokc]

I would give him limited minutes in the VFL and go unchanged against Norf.

 

[Vindicater]

Remember this is still a test at training.

personally, as much as i’d love to see him out there i’d rather err on the cautious side. we have a winning formula, let’s keep to it

The other side of the coin says we have progressively more difficult matchups over the next 3 weeks ahead of Carlton, therefore get him in and let the defensive unit gel week on week so they're a smooth cohesive unit for the Blues.

 

[faible]

Depends whether it's a 'available to play and return to full training' available, or a 'has been in full training for the last 2 - 3 weeks and we were being overly conservative' available.

If it's not the latter, don't play him IMO.

 

[Howard Moon]

you can tear a quad in the vfl or afl - if hes playing, play him at the top

 

[justlookingaround]

Yup, Ridley slots straight in. They've been conservative with his recovery for this very reason.
Honestly stiff for Lav if he's who makes room - reckon he's been really good for the last month and his physicality has been immense.
Let's hope he passes the test and his quad problems are done for good.

The other side to this equation though is that re-injuring himself at full tilt puts us a man down. So far his quad hasn’t held up to games, so more about ensuring he can run out a game or two.

Nah **** it, just play him

I have some thoughts on the swear filter too

Bradley says he’s ticked boxes in terms of rehab and loads. Will decide after training today.
He’s prob 80/20 I reckon. Be great to see him back he’s pretty keen as per Mason yday.

He’s prob
Caddy…oh the possibilities that this team will become.

Wearing the black top today at training, with Heppell in the red top.

Also, there is a guy with the number 30 wearing the black top too.

You dont play A graders in the VFL.

rest him this week.

Yes but you can manage load in the VFL much easier than AFL. Give him a half in the VFL imo.

hecking hell, stop being heck-wits about VFL v AFL - he busted his quad during training… for heck’s sake

 

[Milanista28]

Heck it!?

What the flip!

I noticed that too. Also noticed that Duzz was in the red top?

So that would probably show that it means sweet FA in the scheme of things
