What's wrong with Stenglein?

[Crow54]

Didn't train at Brisbane last night. John Reid said Stenglein wasn't feeling well, then in a later interview, Roo said Stenglein had a small "injury" during the week, but would definitely play.

Last week it was mentioned during the game that he was throwing up a couple of times.....

What's wrong with him? I reckon the team will miss him if he doesn't make it tonight.

Adelaide coach Gary Ayres has dispelled any notion that Scott Welsh and Tyson Stenglein will not be fit to take the field in the Crows’ second qualifying final against Brisbane at the Gabba.

Stenglein did not join in training at the Gabba on Friday night and Welsh was limited to the warm-up and kicking for goal as the Crows went through their paces ahead of Saturday night’s match against the Lions.

Ayres played down any injury concerns after the session that lasted about 45 minutes.

“(Stenglein’s) had a pretty heavy last month as far as all the guys he’s tagged so I thought I’d just give him a night off,” Ayres said. “He’ll be fine.”


As for Welsh, Ayres felt he suffered from a heavy workload in recent weeks and sought to tailor his preparation accordingly.

“That was by design because last week I probably felt I pushed him a bit too much, especially late in the week,” he said of Welsh’s limited appearance in the session.

“He was just a little bit sore after that. So I thought what I’d do is make his training as spot on as possible so he doesn’t get sore. He’s had his goalkicking and he’s done the warm-up and that’s enough for him tonight.”
