I know for a fact he won't go out until the end of the season as he is booked for surgery in October and I also know for a fact that he is really struggling at times during the week to get up for games. Just once I'd like to club to do the right thing when our season is shot and send a player that needs a long layoff from surgery in early to get it done rather than waiting until after the season is finished. He and the side gain nothing by having him out there and his spot could go to a kid like Helbig to see what he can do with a run of games.I think we need to realise that Morris isn't going to get rested or go for surgery just yet. he has had the injury for ages and still hasn't missed games so lets just forget this. He would also feel he is letting down the rest of the group doing so, rightly or wrongly imo.
Sure but what if the players says no, Im not getting surgery now. Do they make him? I don't think so.I know for a fact he won't go out until the end of the season as he is booked for surgery in October and I also know for a fact that he is really struggling at times during the week to get up for games.

They can choose not to play him though.Sure but what if the players says no, Im not getting surgery now. Do they make him? I don't think so.
Given the suspensions and current injury list I'm going with:
Out: Vickery Thomas(both susp) Lennon(rest) Morris(inj)
In: Elton Helbig O'Hanlon Arnot

HB: Petterd Rance Houli
C: Ellis Vlastuin O'Hanlon
HF: Martin Griffiths Deledio
F: S.Edwards Riewoldt Elton
R: Maric Cotchin Miles
INT: Foley Arnot Helbig
SUB: McDonough
That is what I'd like to see, but I'm tipping we go with
Out: Thomas Vickery Lennon
In: Hampson Grigg Conca
B: Morris Chaplin Batchelor
HB: Petterd Rance Houli
C: Ellis Vlastuin Conca
HF: Deledio Griffiths Martin
F: S.Edwards Riewoldt Maric
R: Hampson Cotchin Miles
INT: McDonough Dea Grigg
SUB: Foley
I for sure did..! it was a flash of 2013 elimination final and history did repeat itself..!Honestly, how many of you knew we'd **** it up in the second half?
If the player has an injury the club don't have to play them, but when they think they can get them through while the season is alive and well they'll do just that. With our season effectively over we should start sending anyone who needs long term recovery off. Then as the season progresses send of those with a shorter recovery time. Hopefully that would mean that by time preseason starts everyone is up and running and we're not having guys trying to catch up a month out from the season starting.Sure but what if the players says no, Im not getting surgery now.

and now he'll tear us a new oneGood to see that Ballantyne got off. For him to cop weeks whilst Franklin got off would be an injustice.
and now he'll tear us a new one
No doubt but I was just putting up an argument that Morris wouldn't like to go and have a rest and may seem like he is abandoning his team mates.If the player has an injury the club don't have to play them, but when they think they can get them through while the season is alive and well they'll do just that.

So be itand now he'll tear us a new one
Hopefully Morris rips his head off (literally) but pulls up sore from the effort having yanked his shoulder out again and we put him in for surgery to get him right for next year. Newy can play some farewell games for the rest of the season as a small back.
Oh and with an undersized Docker defence, Hampson kicks 5 and we win by 11 points. Hampson gets busted for drug use the next day and we have the points stripped off us. Hampson kicked out of the club.
Winning!!!
Apart from Banfield, I can't see that we have a genuine small, pacy crumbing forward on the list. When watching the atrocious method we utilise in delivering the ball to our forward line, it beggars belief that we don't have someone in our 22 who may be able to capitalise on a loose ball in our forward 50!Do we have any players with pace in the 2s worth considering?
Small Crumbling forwards?
