Fix shoulder now Polo

[Madtiger2006]

We won't win many games this year and we know Polo is going to be a great player in our midfield, but we should fix his shoulder now and give players like Connors and Casserley some time in the middle. By the end of the season Polo will be able to pump the weights for 6 months and be bulked up for 2008

Agree. The season is shot.
Fix it up.

Connors and Casserly in the midfield? I don't think so. Connors is no way near ready (doesn't have the stamina) and casserly is a defender in the mold of gilbee. Bring in white to play backline and newman into the guts.

Depends how bad it is. From what i've heard its a problem he has had for a while. If the medical staff suggest in anyway there is a danger to polo playing without the surgery then he should be on the operating table yesterday. If we can continue to get games under his belt without effecting his future health then he may as well play out the season.

Agreed

Dunno what you reckon about Kane Johnson Madness ... where do you think his future lies ? Where does he fit into the midfield rotations ?

He fits into Coburgs midfield pretty well. Should be great to pump up the youngsters

You are a man of wisdom MT.

polo dont need to get the shoulder done now. just because it happened before in preseason dont mean its urgent since he played lots of games since.

 

[astro_toby]

think he should play on, sounds like its something he has lived with for a while, so let him play and tough it out till about round 17, 18 - and then get the op done. then he will still be okay by the time the pre season starts and that wil also keep him from getting into too much trouble over the break.

will build character in the boy, and valuable experience - why waste another year of his development just because we can't make the finals? its a development year afterall so who cares if w cant make finals - i never thought we could this season.

playing him with a bit of a pain factor can bring out good things in a players character, it makes players like hird, archer, buckley, dippa - players who can play with pain are always a better player - because in footy there is a lot of pain

Yep I agree and also one more hard hit could %$#@ up his career, but that doesnt matter, we want Polo to be Tough in the stands.

Polos Shoulder

Does anybody know the outcome of his scans yesterday? Will he play this weekend?

Well it was never a bloody question of if his shoulder was in desperate need of surgrey, but if they should possibly due to a worse case scenario. he played the game out so it could not have been terrible - this idea that we should repaire a shoulder that may only have a minimal chance of more damaging occurring, just because we can't make finals is rubbish . why should it make a difference if we can make finals or not? we want to develop these kids, that happens by them playing games of football - not by having a shoulder re-co - just for safety's sake and because we cant make finals.
You want tough footy players, than make them tough. putting them under the surgeons knife needlessly is pathetic - if anything takes more away from their confidence as they build a defense mechanism about that part of the body.

as it turns out - his shoulder isnt that bad - and he will most likely be in this week - so shove that one in your rectum, you cynical, sarcastic knuckelhead

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

I believe this hasn't been discussed yet. May set up a thread for it?

The problem is that if Polo is out of the team it means that Tuck and Johnson have to play more minutes despite both clearly struggling. Even if Polo is playing 10 minutes a quarter it gives Tuck, Johnson and Foley a bit of a chop out. Take Polo out of the mix and we could see then start dropping like flies as the others breakdown from being overused.
