Opinion Changes v Essendon ins Neale, Shane, Collins, Rixx, Griff, DP

[Walkingwounded]

Didn't wanna answer my questions, I'm shocked.

So resting Neale isn't commonsense? Hmmm, I'd say 99.9% of people would say it is, so much so even th blokes on 6pr agree and that's saying something.

I'm guessing our medical team isn't that good? Guessing we have a large amount of recurring injuries from rushing players back? Debatable.

Ok we have some players playing with a niggle or two... so you would prefer Freo to wrap all our players in cotton wool when they feel not 150%.

Don't know about you but I always play with pride... never put up the white flag .... or yellow flag.

You can't even tell me what is wrong with him.

Michael Johnson has bruised ribs.
Nathan Fyfe has a bruised sternum and a sore back and a sore ankle.
Stephen Hill has a sore knee/hip
Why aren't they all being rested? Everyone on our list is carrying something.

Exactly! Why aren't our players being rested when they're playing injured in a season that's been fairly bad? Stephen Hill definitely could hav used a rest, I love him but hes been useless in multiple games, he went through a 3-4 week patch of nothing. Johnson should have been rested, healed up and Collins play his role. Are you on our medical team? Would make a lot of sense actually.

Pride cometh before the fall.

There's nothing to play for, blokes playing who require surgery, especially key players who struggled to play a fortnight ago from known injuries, and couldn't get up, should actually go and get their surgeries so they have longer to recover.

1. Less chance of them having a shortened pre season
2. More time to deal with complications
3. Less chance of re-injury or exacerbation

Additionally, we know what Neale offers, what do we gain from a 50-75% fit Neale in a nothing game, or having another look/giving experience to someone like Deluca?

Neale has been carrying groins all year, according to Ross since Round 1 when quizzed on it by the Shnoz on Channel Eagle I think from memory. Also said he's got a knee issue.

Article backs it up. I'm guessing you guys missed it.

Didn't miss it.

Groin can be anything from a cork to OP. It could be persistent tightness.

You're basing all of your opinion on ignorant fear. That leads to religion.

Some versions appear simply erudite and tolerant.

I prefer to base my idiotic opinions on nothing but ego and ignorance.
Whether Lachie Neale wants to play or not, he should go straight for surgery.

The AFL competition has sufficient leeway for all teams in the latter rounds to play games with lower numbers to accommodate early surgery,general soreness,and the need for rest.

Is Deluca ANY chance at all to be a late in?
I need to know so i can place him on the ground in order to get Witherdons E score.

None, he's playing for Peel now. So not in Melb. Pearce flew as emergency.

Must say its a miracle johnno has played all 22 games this year.

Looks like only 4 (Johnno Hamling, B Hill & weller) unless there is a late change to have played every game this year.

He has struggled to get through 1 game without getting injured in the past 2 years. So to play all 22 is remarkable

 

[Scham]

Is this the first time we've actually stuck true to the "play your way in, play your way out" mantra?

 

[Frank J Moose]

It is the 27th of August. Our next game is more than 6 months away in March next year and people think we should be resting players?
