Silvagni or Grover?

[believe_it]

I watched the replay and they showed the physio doing his work on him. He tried to do that hamstring stretch where you push the player's leg up towards the body and Elvis gave a pretty big grimace instantly.

Two things occurred to me watching that:

1) it can't have been a very bad tear - or even an obvious tear at all - if they were trying to stretch it like that

2) I hope the physio didn't inadvertently make it worse. He pushed on the leg pretty hard and Elvis looked in a bit of pain the second he did it

I agree it's clearly not a bad one - the worse more ballistic ones are when you are running flat out. In my experience you aren't running in a few days later , you are barely walking properly. A hammy done from a twisting movement doesn't take nearly as long . Doubt he'd be any likelihood to play this week but the following is a possibility although if it wasn't finals you wouldn't risk it.

Could John Anthony be a chance to play down back??

Guerra's looked like a pretty severe hamstring injury,the guy was on crutches.
And he is aiming to be ready for the GF, telling him he's dreaming.

I wondered about that but he hasn't been tried at the top level yet as far as I recall. It would be a big gamble to do it in front of Silvagni in a final.

Winner is Silvagni.

He, deBoer and Keps on the plane.

Exactly what I thought when I saw it.

Article mentions that DeBoer, Bradley (Griff out) and Silvagni are in and Sutcliffe, Clarke and Roberton travelled as the likely emergencies, so someone (Sheridan?) misses out.

Pretty happy with those ins... Elvis missing the obvious downer, but Silvagni gets his chance to show what he can do, and I reckon he's the best choice we have available in Luke's absence.

Sheridan was always going to miss - good ins

Man, I am soooooo keen to see ROBO-SCNOS just go out there and hand out a shellacking to a big key forward again, a la J Brown last year. I really rate him.

Also, Arc is there any way you could make up an avatar with Dale Kickett's head on Yoda for me? Favourite player he was...hmmm.

Fremantle Twitter - We went with Alex because he had more mintues (than Grover) says Stone. De Boer also back

Yeah I was thinking about Ballas-yoda last night. I was going to do a series of avatars with a star wars theme. Kickett yoda should be ok. Tried doing a mundy-chewbacca but there was too much hair going on.

Should find somewhere to post them I guess

Wow man, just wow.

Just struggling to load this up as my avatar (complete technophobe). Anyone know where I'm going wrong?

It's a pain in the ass - you can select a file to upload for your avatar - but I notice that half the time your old one is cached. It's a bit finicky but select the file to upload - then once you've saved it - clear your browser cache and refresh the page. Then you can move it around.

Dockernut try and clearing your old avatar before uploading a new one, it also helps if the size of the file is small (e.g. less that 600kb)

I'd be surprised if a physio doesn't know what they're doing. Especially one you'd use for an elite sports team.

Seen Essendon lately?

 

[Pusswah]

If you're referring to 'The Weapon', you realise that he was at Geelong before that right?
And i'm not even sure his background is physiotherapy.
