Donza means 2012
Richards (needed 50 injections prior to the game)
Goodes (PCL)
Cant recall the 3rd one but those 2 were the most obvious.

Umm.
But he is fit. He's been named as an emergency.Mills played infinitely better on Hawkins than Gould did.
If McCartin is fit, of course he would play. What evidence do you have that suggests he is being protected from concussion? He’s best 22. He plays if he is up to it.
No current season stats available
Although Warner is our most damaging midfielder, I agree, if we swap in the more defensive minded Mills, this may work to our advantage in this game.Disappointed to see no McCartin, though I suppose we've come this far without him, we might as well take all the necessary measures.
Hope Warner's okay but IMO won't make much of a difference in the mids. Might actually make us better if it means Mills spends more time in there.
YAY FOX (would bet my house he's in for the Rohan match-up)
I
But he is fit. He's been named as an emergency.
Should be a combo of mills, Sheldrick and a bit more of Heeney.Calling it now. Fox to take Florent's place in the back-line. Florent to take Warner's place in the mids.
(Hope I'm wrong - would rather have Mills in there.)
Yep definitely an underated aspect of his game.Hayward should be the down the line marking target on our quicker breaks IMHO. If he can clunk a few 70m out then I like Logan and Joel's chances in the 50.
McLean the target if we have to go slower
As much as I'm bummed by Warner out.
I'm warmed by the fact I was wrong re Gus.
He's growing in importance.
That contract signing has increased his confidence. Imo.
In fairness to Francis and Melican they would be stiff to lose their place.Clearly McCartin is our best tall KPD when fit etc so there is likely a good reaason he hasn't been selected. In some respects I don't mind it. He is prob still a tad underdone and i reckon it takes most a game or two to adjust to the pace of AFL footy after several weeks off. Sure he was good in the VFL but its a quantumn leap playing on Hawkins. It may be better to bring him for the Tigers - play him on Riewoldt. I also reckon that Francis and Melican have been pretty solid and have been improving. Clearly they are no May/Petty combo. I actually wouldnt mind seeing Melican on Hawkins.. I've noticed that Melican is surprisingly strong 1-1, rarely is outmuscled and Hawkins will either get you on the lead or in a wrestle not in the air. He had a good warm up playing against Oscar Allen.
I wrote him off around 8 weeks ago.Donza did you write Gus off already?
And don't forget all our hearts in the last few minutes...Umm.
No.
Richards. Rounds and rounds of injections prior to play.
Bolton. Had torn a ligament. Played with it torn. Dosed up by Gibbs .
Mummy. Shoulder injury. Also had painkilling injections prior to play.
Plus Goodes obviously during the match.
I wrote him off around 8 weeks ago.
He's a good egg
I'll admit I was wrong.Rarity from you i dont recall you doing that.
It’s not tightness it’s a slight tear.Calf tightness is a precursor to further injury. If you catch it early like this, you can prevent further damage. Therefore, limiting time out. Peter Marker, the ex Glenelg captain, used to get bad tightening in the calf muscles. He was suffering over a period of games and it is a wonder he didn't pull a muscle. But he, or the physio, was telling a dance teacher about the problem one day and she suggested some dance exercises that fixed the problem. The footy club paid for her to come and do loosening up exercises which made them more supple.
The modern. Aerobics programs are full of those exercises. You see dancers have the fittest and most flexible bodies in the world

Then the obvious answer is that he’s not fit enough.I didn't say he was being protected from concussion. I just made the comment you can get concussion just as easily in the reserves so why play a fit player in the reserves as he is best 22? It doesn't make sense

Forgot Sheldrick. Wingers not included.5 is not enough in the mids. If you do that you will get flogged in the last when all our mids are walking not running

Having watched both games, TMac had it tougher in 3qtrs than any Swan against the Eagles.He played 3 quarters against VFL oppo. Probably not quite there yet to match it with Hawkins.
