A week each...

[ant555]

yes he did
came home from the game and saw the last 5 minutes of the game and olarenshaw said he was in doubt with a bad groin injury

You dont comprehend all that well do you ?
Fletcher has been carrying the groin injury since round 2 . It is not a new injury


Anyway back to Longys first quote

Probably a good result for Fletch.

I was thinking the same thing , even having two weeks off may have been better despite how much he is needed.

Yep, Fletch having a week off isnt a horrible thing right now. Best team there is to have it against as well. And do have Fletcher and Ryder missing, I think that there is only one team in the comp. we could afford to do it, and its Footscray.

I wouldnt appeal either. Definitely not Fletch, perhaps McVeigh, but really, we have a fair bit of experience to potentially come in - Lloyd, Stanton, Campo, Monfries, Bolton perhaps Bradley (is there a definite time frame on Winda?), and they will more than likely miss West and Grant, adding to Cross and Griffin.

I think we can trust our teams ability to cover many of those who we have out, against a team who will also have trouble covering key players.
