Autopsy Got there in the end - Swans def Blues

Well Mills is better, if fit, it's a no brainer.

But if they think Mills is ready after such a break and limited footy last year, to play as much in midfield as Adams can, with the associated risk being acceptable, then I'd question the decision makers.

Otherwise, why play Mills only half the VFL game. If he's ready to play a full seniors game, this seems like our VFL coaches stuffed up and took him off too early.

I would've played 3 qs

Heeney 5-5
Warner 4-4
Grundy 3-2
Cerra 0-3

Grimlock , so very good to have one of the best and nicest posters back on here

Well yeah, if there was serious thought that he might play seniors this week, and he was fine at half time, he should have played it out, even if he needed a few breathers or to be plonked at FF.

I don't think they were intending him to be selected for seniors this week, and it'll be desperation rather than proven readiness if he does imo.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Buller is not ready for AFL yet,perhaps later in the season if out of the finals race.BUT to be fair to Buller he is playing in a very ordinary VFL side with all the injuries we have at the moment.Hopefully Fox getting on the park in the VFL next week end?

Then go small put Heeney at FF. None of the options should involve playing Mills off half a game on restricted minutes

Have you stood next to Heeney ?

 

[giantsully]

Florent in, Hanily as sub or next best VFL player. No to playing Mills off half a game, it's just so brainless like it was last year but last year was worse as we did it whilst 2 and a half games in front!

No to McLean anyway Buller was better in the VFL, or we go smaller which I hope we do and play Heeney more FWD.

Wow, we're really scraping the barrel.

People are forever complaining about us playing injured players and our injury management,but now think the fitness staff should have been overruled and Mills played on even though it was quite clearly the plan to only play him for a half.

No doubt if he had had an injury re-occurrence posters would have been jumping on the fitness staff as having no idea.

As for this week let's see how that plays out regarding selection and load management.

 

[Kbroome]

I'm aware. You just missed my point.

If the club thinks he's ready to play a full seniors game this week, then he was ready to play more than half a VFL game last week. So my point was did the VFL coaches stuff up, or are we not actually sure he's ready for a full seniors game, but desperation will have influenced us if he plays.

Edit: Or maybe the club got it wrong by only putting him down for a half, in which case if you're potentially playing him in seniors the next week, you let him keep playing if he seems fine.

Yep, your right just misinterpreted your point.

I reckon your right that he probably needs another week on non-restricted minutes if they really only thought he would need a half of VFL action to be match fit for the 1s

 

[LukeParkerno1]

I know he’s not a small per se. He’s smaller in height than a KPf though. More than happy this week to do this might force us to not kick it to the bald bloke

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Wow, we're really scraping the barrel.

Maybe but it doesn’t means you play a bloke off a half in the VFL. Play Adams who has played a full game

I was fine with him playing only a half. I am on your side here, if you read the discussion. The point I'm making is that if the club seriously expect us to believe he's ready and that it's sensible to play him off 1 VFL game, then they needed to play him the whole game. This extends to posters who want him in the 22 or the 23.

They played him for a half because they thought he was ready for only a half and wanted to see how he pulled up. Now they should play him for a full VFL game, then consider him.

I probably could word things better, looks like I'm confusing a few people!

As someone still involved in footy and yes at a lower level , medical staff always err on the side of caution , so i can imagine at the top level the same . If Mills broke down last week i would blame his body

Heeney to FF ---- problem is the ball might not get down there

Massively he did not give Curnow a inch

 

[Kapers]

I would've thought the efforts of a say Heeney, Chad and Grundy getting us over the line in a tough game to keep our season alive would be the highlight
Imagine if he kicked it and we lost , but it was still the highlight

Nah. We have to remember that as much as we think sport is about winning, it's truly a bunch of people running around chasing a leather balloon following rules that random people made up 100 years ago. It's meant to be fun, and Ladhams trying to do a scissor kick is the most fun I've had watching aussie rules this year.

Nah mate the expert said you can't find a moment fun. Move on

He was superb. Brilliant move to shift him to full back.

Of course , i just don't like the way he plays
Glad you got a laugh

Very good game but in a wet game Curnow did kick 3.1

What you mean he's not a forward lol

 

[Bloods86]

Very good game but in a wet game Curnow did kick 3.1

Chad didn't have that much impact in the first half outside of his goal and pass to Hayward.

We hold defenders to different standards.
