Can give him limited minutes to keep him with some sort of match fitness. Would've thought that was implied.Why risk playing him in a pointless scratch match?

Agreed, but my point was that if he was going to play anything, that'd be what I think they'd play him in.Match fitness wouldn't be an issue at the end of a season. Dislocating his shoulder ago would be an issue.

Fwiw I wouldn't play him in anything either.
Well each to their own. At the end of the day the club, we hope, will make the right call.I disagree. Either he's able to play without discomfort and with enough mobility and he plays seniors or it's nothing.
Yeah I noticed that at the time and thought to myself - what a load of sheit!Fair enough, everyone sees it differently.
I thought he was one of our better players for sure, and it seems the match report agrees:
BEST
Brisbane: Lyons, Rich, McStay, Ellis-Yolmen, McInerney, Robinson
I think we'll bring Starcevich and McCarthy in for Hinge and Coleman
Berry won't be worth the risk

yep.Stef in this week?
Thought so. Cheers.yep.
Thats only my opinion not fact.Thought so. Cheers.
I reckon he'll be on 40-50% game time. Cant see the club taking too many risks.
Going out on limb here but I think we should continue with the Oscar & Archie show. I have actually been impressed by Archie the last couple of weeks.
Jarryd Lyons on The Roar Deal today saying that Jarrod Berry looks good and if he gets through the main training session tomorrow he could play, he then added that the medicos might decide to rest him anyway although Jarrod will put his hand up to play.
IMO if there is any doubt whatsoever don't play him, he's not going to lose any fitness being so late in the season, he'll be primed for the Tigers in the qualifying final.
At this stage likely we play Richmond in QF Semi, and Chol played when they beat us, so reckon if he plays this week they will probably go with him for the semi. With a few games of experience Payne might be harder to push in the back, I mean 'worked under the ball' next time around. Also IF Stef is fit then some game time this week and with Big O playing well, we have an advantage in the ruck over Richmond. Lynch might not be back (but probably not Andrews either). Get through the Blues game and then watch with interest Monday nights game.While we're at it, if Stef looks OK, then play him, even if it's only 30-40% game time to blow out the cobwebs.
Archie was pretty good against the Swans but in a big final, Stef coming in is a no brainer if he's good to go.
Richmond have lost Soldo, their #1 ruck,
Maybe they play Chol, maybe they don't but whatever they do, if we can get both Oscar and Stef out there against them in a Final, , that has to be a huge advantage to us in the ruck division.
Lyons was very positive on the Roar...like him a lot...seems a real team man.Jarryd Lyons on The Roar Deal today saying that Jarrod Berry looks good and if he gets through the main training session tomorrow he could play, he then added that the medicos might decide to rest him anyway although Jarrod will put his hand up to play.

100% correct - getting Stef back fit and firing is vital.While we're at it, if Stef looks OK, then play him, even if it's only 30-40% game time to blow out the cobwebs.
