stanton still a worry

[Darealrath]

Well that worked out well didnt it
Maybe one day we will stop playing blokes who are under an injury cloud.

Yeah, lets play blokes who rely on their running when they can't run properly. Might not be too noticeable now but they've just made the ankle worse. FFS.

From the first minute he came on the ground and attempted to chase down a possie he looked proppy and running nowhere near the pace he has.

I couldnt believe they didnt see this while he was training? Was he not tested at full pace?

Played a man down.

His ankle wasn't the problem.

Well whatever it was.

 

[Longy413]

Well whatever it was.

I don't think the injury he was tested for yesterday was the one that made him a liability during the game.

I think it was a fresh injury.

 

[monty1104]

But he still came into the game with the injury. If he goes through a "fitness test", it should be looking for every possible injury, not just a suspect ankle.

Hard to find an injury in a fitness test if it happens afterwards.

 

[monty1104]

Well he clearly carried it into the match, it didnt happen during the game. And the fitness staff would have been woried about it if Dyson didnt train with the VFL. They obviously thought a backup wasneeded just in case.

I find that very hard to believe.

 

[Longy413]

I thought it would have been standard practice to keep an emergency on standby.

Kepler Bradley didn't go to Tassie with the rest of the team either.

 

[monty1104]

But he trained with Bendigo did he not? There must have been more of a reson they chose to keep Dyson extra fresh.

 

[Longy413]

I don't know if Bradley trained, but I presume the fitness test would have been done before Bendigo training.

Although I stand to be corrected.

 

[Crave]

Aside from post match analysis of the game in regards to personnel, I think we've done well to climb back up from the canvas 3 from the last 4 matches and steal a win. This time round, we virtually did it with 2 less players in Stanton and 'barely noticeable' Bolton.

Can confirm that Stants definitely passed the fitness test: Agility, Straight line, turns, jumps and side to side switches.....

Seems he must moonlight in Neighbours as his acting is obviously very good.!!

Yes , straight line running, stepping of both feet. Four corner agility test.

IMO him playing wasnt the thing. Stuff like that happens all the time.

However, continuing to play him when he was clearly injured and in fact a liability and directly caused a number of turnovers is the question that must be asked.
