Changes Vs Fremantle

It's also not about Tippett being unable to play. He's trained 100%, he can play. It's just that, if he plays, he puts himself at risk of suffering a fourth concussion, and obviously the doctor's feel that's a big enough risk to want him to rest another week.

This is nothing to do with Tippett being a sook who can't handle hits and doesn't want to be here. He's done everything possible to get back on the park and would be there with bells on if he could get permission to do so from the club doctor.

No no no Stabby. I'm sure he's probably told the Club he'd rather watch the final of the Women's Synchronised swimming tomorrow and ask them if he could sit this one out. I'm sure he'd rather sit on the couch for another week...

Pretty sure we can all blame Henderson for providing false answers to Tippet for his concussion test. Cue conspiracy theorists...

I know concussions are a serious business etc but theres definitley something suss going on here.
Tippett has trained well for 2 weeks, pulls up fine, coach and captain say he'll play, results show no long term damage and come back clear yet they say "the doctors feel its safer for him not to play". He's either leaving and their not playing him, or the AFL are secretly forcing Adelaide to give him at least a month off. As far as I can tell if someone trains well, pulls up fine and feels 100% they play. Theres something not quite right about all this...

We were told on this site weeks ago that Kurt would not play until Brisbane match courtesy of AFL and that week by week suggestions would be going to play.

Nick is full of shit.

My preferred team:

FF: Callinan Jenkins Johnston​

​

HF: Vince Walker Douglas​

​

C: van Berlo Dangerfield Sloane​

​

HB: Mackay Talia Reilly​

​

FB: Doughty Rutten Shaw​

​

1R: Jacobs Thompson Wright​

​

B: Petrenko Riley Smith ​

Sub: Johncock​

I think we looked most dangerous at the start of the year when we played 3 talls up forward. Obviously because of injuries and suspensions this has been hard. I like Mackay and Reilly on the HBF to give us some drive. Johncock as Sub, because he's our biggest impact player.

Stop bringing logic to the thread Stabby, let the conspiracy theorists have their fun.

Yeah, I retract my comments... Just spat when I heard he was out....

The big worry s that he failed the test today. If his reaction times are still impacted, then he may have long-term problems. Let's hope that isn't the case.

Kurt will have no problems playing against Brisbane. I predict that he will take 20 uncontested marks

 

[PykeDream]

Did he definitely fail the test? Or are we and our team doctors simply 'exercising caution' again?

Red card issued by Apostrophe Police. Expect infringement notice in the post.

My understanding of it is that he is not actually at greater risk of further concussion. It's just that, if he gets concussed while he still has symptoms, then that concussion could be more serious than if he was symptom-free.

Even if he's fully recovered and gets a 4th concussion, that's the end of his season. If its a severe one, it could easily be Scotty Stevens all over again. Its such a high profile case that the club has to be ultra conservative, for legal reasons as much as anything else.

It really does complicate his contractual situation. He's a high risk commodity now.

 

[Slippery Pete]

But has Kurt kicked six goals in a final

 

[Freddy Bassett]

No need to worry about Fyfe this week

I just picked him up in my Supercoach team.... He is now cursed

I am a gun...... I have an uncanny knack of doing this....

F**KED my supercoach but great for the Crows...
