Preview Saints v Lions - 1:10 on Sunday @ Etihad

[DT_35]

No Gresham

Yes there is

edit: He is indeed out, AFL site had only Fisher for Paddy

 

[Dopey BJ]

Like having a good 2 year old colt, give a good prep, win a race and put him away for the autumn.

 

[aussierulesrules]

Obviously we're resting Gresh so that he can be fresh for our first final, after GWS beat lolnorf by 150 points and we beat Brisexodus by 200.

Damn it. I needed him to play a blinder to win the rising star award and make me some $$$.

Says he is just managed so will be interesting if he plays VFL.

I'm in the exact same boat

 

[bird_man]

Strange that we are "managing" a guy in the last game of the year?

I think I'm just pissed off we don't get to see the Gresh this week...

 

[Diehard Saint]

Thoughts?

Great vision to watch before Sunday's game...hope they play it to the team.
Roo's still round to kick his 6, but who's going to "do a Milney" this weekend?

 

[aussierulesrules]

I'm in the boat next door. Have money on Mills at 15-1 and he's out with a calf.

 

[Diehard Saint]

Well, at least my boat, Acres, is still sailing...go Blacres!!!

Very strange decision, managing what a load of crap, you would think letting the kid play in the last game of the year and having a win would be the best thing for his development.

 

[Saint12]

he isnt afl standard

I know, I was wondering if he was serious that someone who has played, what 3 games, deserves a send off game. Or whether he was taking the piss about this sudden trend of everyone having a send off game.

Riewoldt, Bruce & Membrey will have a ball against Gardiner, Andrews & Sauce

Gresh has done his bit this year; earns a rest. His body would be tired as.

Certainly hope so, pity about the Gresh though

I thought he might have been running out of gas. Had a really good game in the midfield a few weeks ago in his first game where he spent a significant chunk of time in there, but since then we've tried to play him there more and he's not done anywhere as well, so there's a fair chance the extra workload has taken a toll and he needs a spell, as someone else said.

"Managed" - its just an excuse for keeping up the track record of "weird moment at the selection table" - number 23.

 

[puppy_dog7]

Seriously.. Why the F*#k would someone be 'managed' in round 23! Round 23!?
If he has a niggling injury just tell us that he does and that's why he's being rested!
But if he's not injured, why would you rest him for the last game of the year?
Like seriously! It makes no sense whatsoever.

Richo travelled to the future & saw that Gresh did an ACL against the Lions & as such has omitted him from the team to avoid injury. Unfortunately, this has caused a butterfly effect in the space time continuum with Chris Mayne shitting himself so badly it causes him to go into a coma. Pray for Mayne.

It's perfectly valid should you accept the management is dependent on the load and soreness a player has experienced the past week. Likelihood of injury might be quite high.

Any chance Richo can travel to the future again and see what it holds for JOM?
