[Libbaaaa]

Very interesting with Keath, he is clearly hobbled but its clear he has been dropped for form.

Bit of a head scratcher that they are playing him when he is ‘Clearly hobbled’

 

[dergert]

Amazed if keath plays.

They wouldn't make McNeil sub again would they?

 

[Some Idiot]

Keath playing would be confusing, he can come back through the vfl next week if Cordy plays well but surely he needs a rest

 

[Mr. Walker]

We should win this easily. I have it on good authority ( an AFL coach , can’t name him , don’t want to reveal my source) that the Willi players are not as tough as they think they are.

 

[TommyD13]

No Scott again, hoping his concussion is not too big of an issue.

 

[DognBones]

17 listed players, easily a record for this season.

Seems like we’re way more cautious than most- we never have just the one week for a concussion, like every other club.

Very happy with that take by the way, shows we actually care a little bit and are putting the players welfare first

What did your source say about Werribee?

Yeah I'd rather be safe with a player coming back from a concussion.

Well Liam Picken's issues are pretty recent in our club's medical history

Not only is it putting player welfare first, it also gives us a compelling defence if we are sued in 10-20 years time for failure to exercise duty of care. I expect every concussion and recovery plan would be carefully documented. We can demonstrate a very conservative approach (relative to the prevailing industry practice) in returning players to the field and to full contact play.

To be fair, it was once not uncommon to have a ruckman in the back pocket if you played 2 rucks.

 

[TommyD13]

Yeah I'd rather be safe with a player coming back from a concussion.

Was perhaps coming from more a place of concern given he has been a test for the past two weeks. Obviously we are going to be cautious, and he has a history, so hopefully nothing too sinister.

When Gary Dempsey played for Victoria he would play back pocket.Because he was the most prolific mark of all time (Recent Nick Rievoldt) .Dempsey excelled in State Football.Good place for Darcy to begin his career as well.

 

[Mr. Walker]

What did your source say about Werribee?

Fair point
( my attention to detail needs work)

 

[Testekill]

Looks like a lovely day down there, just a light breeze at worse.

 

[doggies ftw]

Darcy back nice like that - let’s see what he can do

Sam Darcy would've been some kind of super in the 1970s.

 

[doggies ftw]

Doc & Keath playing today, hopefully both back next week after the shitshow which is tonight

Anyone been kept out for tonight?

 

[doggies ftw]

Toby looks like he’s bulked up wayyy too much, he’s so stocky, would like to see him shed some right back down to that little slippery outside player
