Vindicates the decision to "rest" him the other week, he's way more hungrier now!
Oh rubbish, he's been hungry in every game he's played for us.
The more knowledgeable posters have noted how good Greenwood will be once he gets his tank up. So makes sense that he was a perfect candidate for a rest.
It would have been pre planned before the season started, given his lack of pre seasons.He'd played 2 games in a month. It made no sense, and vague appeals to the personal authority of the apparently 'knowledgeable' ones doesnt change that.

You don't know how he pulled after up the game prior. You think it's a video game where you have a fatigue status that drops down a certain rate after x amount of games, jesus.
You know more than anyone else including our fitness team? Please send in your resume to the club ☺
Ugh, I don't have the time for this, enjoy your day!
Of course fatigue has a cumulative effect. It didnt take us long to get to the 'they're the experts' safety blanket, did it?
That authority relies upon the explanation given being the actual reason why we dropped him though. Which is highly questionable given that we picked him as an emergency (i.e. he was apparently plenty fine to play in the event of someone elses injury). That weighs against the idea that he was incapable of playing due to fatigue.
We dropped him because we wanted to play Thompson. It was only Thompson's poor performance that saved us from our own foolishness.
Crap Pete. We have been playing the long game with respect to Hugh. He is only playing 60% game time in the AFL. That is purely because he can't play more than that in order to have the tank to keep being effective in the final quarter when we need it. In some games we have rested him longer in the middle of the game so that he is fresher in the last quarter. Put all that together and that shows that we took the opportunity to rest him in order to make sure that he is going to be effective into the finals series coming up for us.

Resting someone is different from resting someone from fatigue. I don't see an issue with him having a rest to let the sore spots heal. Whats with the anti crows selection decisions all of a sudden? Because Greenwood says something probably a bit out of context you use it as an excuse to pot the club? Fair dinkum we are top! Get over it.
Giving someone low game time is not convincing evidence of a strategy of backing them in as opposed to say, dropping them.
Is there any credible reason why we should think that dropping someone in week 16 for a mere one week (and yet still having them as emergency) would have a markable impact upon his freshness for finals, noting that those finals occur after a bye week?
Think about who we just played and who we have coming up!!! Its not hard to think why we might have given him a break...well for some of us anyway! Rucci????
Now it's sore spots? Can we get a consistent line?
I mean, in the last two pages alone we've had fatigue from the previous game, a master plan to ensure freshness in the finals, and now sore spots.
What's next? He caught the plague during the week?
If resting him a few weeks ago was part of setting him up for last nights game then it's great management of a developing player.
The club knows the numbers so I'll leave it to them. What I saw last night was a bloke who was let off the leash and it was just what we needed.
You're being a twat!
He said something out of context, the club probably gave him the reasons and he neglected to pass them on in his excitement of the win. You are potting the club based on your on assumption. Crows are top, piss off of you have to keep being negative.
