Did Ellis get subbed yesterday just because they're managing him / he was tired? I assume no injury.

I actually thought, without looking at the stats, that he was playing well. Maybe I'm just trying to notice him a bit more.

I think Batch to come back in for Mini M.

Reckon they are managing him through use of the sub. He is playing well enough to hold his spot in the side but is probably feeling the pinch a little. At least this way they still get to give him game time and gain experience.

Get your hand off it, it was his first game at AFL level since mid last year, it is a world of difference in intensity and speed. Pretty much every player that doesn't have AFL level match fitness will suffer cramping from pushing themselves that hard after such a long time away from the level.
FFs he was just expressing an opinion- I don't think griff has the engine to go with riewoldt either - although few do

Brandon gave one of the best shepherds I've seen a tiger lay in a long time- he is a beauty

Give Ellis a rest in the GWS game before the bye so he gets a 2 week break.

Out Maric In Batch
That's not a bad idea, although we can't rest them all, there'd be no point risking players in that game. Anyone who's not 100% shouldn't make the trip.

I think its great that for one of the first times since I can remember any player from RFC would be stiff to drop :thumbsu:

I also agree that while Griff has a decent tank. its not as good as Rances and especially riewoldts

So on the one hand, Griff has the tank to play a go with role on N.R., but on the other, of course he doesn't because he has been away for a long time?

I don't know what you are trying to argue. I suspect you don't either.

So how about getting your thoughts together next time before you go mouthing off at other posters.
