[StevieJohnsonComesAlive07]

Will he be playing this week? if he is fit enough he should be.
and if he is who will lose thier spot?
and kelly?

i think Byrnes C.Gardner

 

[chapmanmagic35]

Vfl.

Didn't Harley mention awhile back that the club had Rookey penciled in for a Round 4 return (via the AFL or VFL was undecided I believe)?

Anyway, while some would argue the value of a half-fit Rookey at all, I think it's essential he come back via the two's given the amount of football (and training for that matter) he's missed over the last couple of months.

 

[CF]

we have the depth to let him get his fitness and form back via some VFL games but if we were to make the finals later in the year he would be in the starting 22 if he is fit.

 

[Copernicus]

If he's fit, the twos. Don't want him injuring himself again adjusting to the pace of the seniors.

Spot on mate, we have now got fit players, get our good players playing well in the magoos, no risk of re injurying themselve and becoming a liability, guess im talking mainly bout King i hope he plays two full games in the twos, Blake deserves to play this week.

 

[Dont you hate pants?]

I think we have been bitten in the backside far too many times by rushing guys back into the senior team as soon as they are seen as 'fit'. The team has abit of depth now so missing players can be covered somewhat. Let him come through the VFL, gain some confidence and then let him tear it up in the seniors

Agree,given that we have so few injuries why rush players back. Both he and King should be played in the VFL until they find form and fitness then they can be promoted to the Seniors and give 100 %.
Kelly and Stokes on the other hand should come straight in if their form warrants it as fitness will not be an issue.

 

[SirRooke]

Just get him in the seniors asap. We are a much better team when he is playing!

 

[Ricketts]

Bit harsh dropping someone after an 80 point win for someone who has no match play this year.

 

[BlueNWhite]

As much as I love rookey, (one of my fave players) he needs time in the magoos, so his body can adjust to the rigours of footy again... if we bring him back too early we're risking injuring him and losing him for longer periods of the season when we really need him (i.e. 2nd half of the season, finals-if we make it)

 

[Big_Tazz]

yep i agree, rooke needs to play in the Vfl for a couple of weeks, no need to rush him back now

 

[Kittenish]

Kelly was in the VFL last week? And C. Gardiner played with the big-boys?
I shudder at Bomber.

Wasn't Kelly suspended?
Wasn't a decision Bomber made.

He was? When did that happen?
Why did that happen?

From the AFL website, under tribunal news...

From March 13
"Geelong will also be without the services of James Kelly, after he accepted a a two-match sanction for engaging in rough conduct against Brisbane Lions midfielder Jed Adcock."

Does that mean he's ready for this week???
Probably will play one or two games in the twos first.

Don't remember that punch up...... oh well.

 

[cat in sydney]

Don't think it was a punch-up. From memory it was a hit when the guys head was over the ball or something. Unfortunate, as it wasn't really reckless... but them's the rules now.

 

[Kittenish]

..... Oh that.

DAMN YOU ANDREW DEMETRIOU ! And whoever makes up the rules!

I see news travels very slowly up to Sydney,even via the net

Yes, yes it does.

Espicially anything important.

 

[gus17]

Kittenish your a disgrace, before you get dirty on our senior coach for not playing Kelly check if Kelly was available to be picked.
I NOTICE YOU NAME ST KILDA AND FREO AS OTHER TEAMS. ON THAT FORM I THINK THAT FELLOW POSTERS WOULD AGREE YOU NEED TO CONCENTRATE ON ONE TEAM AND UNTIL THEN SAVE YOUR BIG COMMENTS FOR THE FREO OR ST KILDA BOARDS.
