A question re tun bridge

How exactly does a player in rehab for an ankle injury **** his shoulder

Apparently, Dean Cox was casually tossing a tennis ball around at the time.

Hasn't darling been building fitness for weeks now? Couldn't he come into afl side blow it out 3qtrs and sub off?

Its best to give him a game or 2 in the WAFL to test the foot out fully before coming back. Plus there is no fitness like match fitness. If he played AFL and someone else gets injured then he is forced to run out a full one. Should always come through reserves after a long lay off.

Tell you what my heart skipped a beat when I looked at the AFL website and saw McGinnity was out for 6 weeks.

All I read initially was McG and out for 6 weeks and thought no way this happening we can't take a trick down back, but all is well that ends well.

Don't hurry the recovery Paddy. Want to make sure your in top top condition for the REagles

Tunbridge. Gets a game, looks pretty good, won't play again for the year. And will probably get cut post-season.

Football's a cruel game.

If you want cruel talk to Moribito.

Or Menzel. I think his chances of playing AFL again might be higher than Morabito's but

Getting highfives from Luke Shuey.

If you really want cruel think back to our own Brad Smith. Recruited to play full forward for us in 05/06 but done his knee twice and never got to play a game. He could have been a premiership player.

He was a gun too. Dead eye in front of goal.

I like the fact we still employ him. Didn't he kick 100+ in the WAFL before we drafted him?

Kicked a 100 a few later as well.

Did it 3 times iirc

 

[WCE_phil]

Did it 3 times iirc

did it in the 2 years prior to us drafting him and one later on. 2 years after his second recon from memory. He was a major part of the reason rookie list rules were changed for mature age players. We wanted to rookie list him but the afl wouldn't allow it at the time. Such a pity.

I remember my dad is a subi fan an took me to the numerous games and grandfinals... fun fact i was there when priddis won the simpson medal !

Great to see that Darling is back for East Perth

Quinz

Travesty. Hopefully he loses the game on purpose for them.

Murray Newman is a test so he could play in the WAFL this week.

Murray Newman is a test so he could play in the WAFL this week.

Just heard the same watching the video on the WCE update. Might have to start sneaking up to a few Royals games. Interested to see him and Cavka get a few games.

Tunbridge out for the season - along with ginners for 6 weeks

 

[Prem87]

Good to hear that Newman is back playing this week or very soon!

Now if he can break his way into the team later in the year... wowee lookout!

Would love him at the feet of Kennedy, Darling, Naitanui and working in tandem with Hill, Lecras and Cripps - allows them all to spend more time in the midfield or as the spitter!

 

[the harry]

Muzz will surely have just been doing a stack of running given it was a finger injury, would love to see him spend a little big of time on ball by seasons end.

We're in a position at the moment where he will find it very tough to break in. Would be good for him to have an extended WAFL run in any case.

 

[Boohemian]

Is there room in the side for Muzz with Hill and Cripps holding their place?

Highly Unlikely
Still don't get what everyone here see's in Newman
Bloke is barely on our list

He's skilled, can get a lot of the ball, and is capable of playing forward too. What's not to get excited about when the club is willing to keep him on the list while he's in jail?

When has he showed any of those traits?
Its all based on hype, hype which I dont quite understand im afraid
