Krakouer and Macaffer racing against clock

[JOELY]

I'd forget about Krakouer this year. If you remember the reason he was playing that stupid VFL reserves match was because his conditioning was so poor and needed to be fast tracked. He'd previously had those personal issues and time away from the club, so it seemed like he was a fair way off at the time. This was before he did his knee. I just think he'd be coming from too far back match fitness wise, and he's not the caliber of player to slot back in regardless. Protect him for next year and let Sinclair/Elliot/Ugle fight it out for a place.

Looking forward to some Krak Candy asap.

Daniel Menzel is a prime example of not rushing back from ACL injuries.
Not worth the risk IMO

If Elliott and Sinclair continue their development, they would just about get a game ahead of these two on their merits if all were fully fit. Would be nice to see them back this year, but I don't think we will try to rush them back.

At the very least, they'd need to force these other guys out of the team by weight of VFL performances. Would be a nice dilemma to have, play a kid who has shown improvement all year, or a more senior player who has been among the best at VFL level for 4-5 weeks.

Agree with most posters here that even if they do get back it would be difficult for them to put their hand up for selection and gain regular selection over those that have been doing it all season. The only way they could is if we are cursed with forward line injuries late on in the season. Nice dilemma to have regardless.
