Curious about Hall being named as a emergeny! Would very much doubt that they would look at running a Stafford / Vardy tag team against Gardiner. Vardy got slaughtered against the terrifying Jamar last week and would be worse off against Gardiner.

I just wonder if they are playing funny buggers with the wellness of Stafford. Maybe Hall is 'in' with Stafford being a late withdrawal?

(CJH - natural born cynic!

Was also suprised to see Hall named as an emergency. Perhaps he isn't fully fit as yet and will only play if a couple of others end up pulling out.

Anyone know if he is named for Coburg?

Aren't the reserves still playing?

Stafford

Not sure about Stafford, but i would think it highly unlikely that they would put Stafford on a plane for 4 - 5 hours journey to the west for nothing or a ruse. Make that 8-10 because he has to come back. Hopfully im not mistaken, because we will really need him to play.

 

[Tiger In A Tube]

Stafford's not so mobile atm what with his hyper extended knee and isn't certain to play.

They'll take Ray Hall as insurance imho.

Staffs injury looked pretty bad and I cant see how someone doing that one week can play the very next week.

he came back on though took a big grab and kicked a big goal. However in saying that Richo kept playing against the bulldogs after his jaw injury and then ended up missing the next week.

AFL website has an article saying Stafford and Coughlan are both in doubt after todays training session at Subiaco.

and that would make things pretty hard...

Real trouble if Stafford doesn't play as the article says Clinton King and Craig Biddiscombe went over as the emergencies. No mention of Ray Hall. If Stafford doesn't play we will be going in without a ruckmen, unless Hall flys over early tomorrow.
