Depends on the club policy and where and what the injury is. It seems our policy is to keep on park no matter what and if in foot disregard the player won't be able to kick. Same happened to Pierce last with poor long term prognosis. Some clubs especially with lower leg injuries will rest and treat immediately.
I agree that someone else should have been given a go and Nyhuis and Duman were both kept out of the team during this period. Get Dardy a coach for kicking and confidence and give him a structure for delivering the ball to him on a lead and no reason he can't be in the team instead of Lobb! Might have been handy if Cox was available as well.
Don't think it's a co-incidence that Col Young criticises injury treatment and both Lobb and Wilson who weren't named in the injury list are suddenly injured and being rested and treated.
Pretty hard to perform when you can't feel half of your foot I imagine but you're spot on in that he should have been given time to recover.
Agree but in the foot really effects the way you can run and kick. I remember last year the same thing happened with AP, he couldn't hit a target by foot.
The 'alternate reality' Dockers for this round:
Wilson, Hamling, Ryan
Logue, Pearce, Weller
Morobito, Neale, Yeo (taken by Bris pick 30 - we picked Foster at 29)
Walters, Hogan, Bennell
Matera, Lobb, Bobby Hill (taken at pick 14)
Ruck: Grundy (taken by Coll pick 18 - we picked Simpson at 17)
Foll: Fyfe, Kelly
Int: Mundy, Menegola, B Hill, S Hill

All I'm hoping for are better kick outs after they score a point. This will at least show they have addressed a gameday strategic issue from last week.
It would be exciting to see Carter take the ball & sprint away from the goalsquarebefore launching the ball past half back.

I reckon we'll get one in the first, we're usually up and about for the first 10 minutes or so.
It's the 2nd, 3rd and 4th qtrs I'm worried about.
Can't have Bobby Hill and Hogan/Lobb cause without trading down we don't get those two players. But if you want alternate reality. Maybe Apeness is fit and firing and we don't need Hogan. Maybe Jayden Pitt is in his prime.
Apeness was a first grade spud . was nothing special even when fit.
This is a alternate universe so he's a stud not a spud there
Can we have an alternate universe where Kepler Bradley was a triple Coleman medallist, lining up with his partner in crime Jack Anthony?

It's not only some players can play through injury or not, it's where it is and how they play. Wilson is a dash and delivery by foot player - that's his thing, the foot issue has messed that particular ability up. So stupid to have kept playing him because he's so average at everything else.
As you say, we had options to try and should have.
