Round 18: Teams & In Game Discussion

I know, I know...
I can bench him with an (E), but all my donuts are playing (Olango aside). So I'd effectively be benching him for the round.
Don't love his ES stats, but last week was not bad (even though it was his only half-decent score in nearly 3 months)

I like stephen’s guess but looks like he’ll cop the Steele tag tonight. Probably another 90-105 type score.

I thought "pink cap" means something like "don't touch/tackle". If so, then its probably not a great sign that Gray will play

Yeah I think it does man something along those lines but sounds like he’s good to go ?

I don't have him, but hopefully you are right.
I just remember Gaz wearing a little cap in pre season training a few years ago (after his shoulder problems) and it didn't end well. Different situations I know... but it has got my "spider sense" tingling

 

[Ben's Beasts]

Lienert to debut for the Power with Pittard coming in also. Ryder out injured and Bonner omitted.

Gray confirmed as playing.

Funnily enough someone asked the question lol. He seems to think it’s nothing but I’m with you, it irons my means no contact or something along those lines.

@BigRuss any idea? I think you might’ve been to their training sessions in the past.

Makes complete sense Gray wearing a ‘no contact cap’ if he’s trying to prove he’s ok to play after a head knock....imagine if he wasn’t ok and he gets another knock.

I actually look at it the other way - If he is ok to play then it shouldn't be a problem for him to get another head knock. Why protect him now and then expose him during a game?

Or give him another 60 odd hours to recover and prove his fitness.
In % of time since the slam its like 40% recovery time still to come before game time.
Absolute no brainer to give him that time

I was initially with RB on the no contact thing but this actually makes a lot of sense. Either way, him playing/not playing makes for some interesting decisions if Ahern scores well with the E.

Replace concussion with ankle.

Stay off it till the last minute then prove its status

 

[Nathan]

I’m guessing with concussion you prove your fitness by how you feel during and after the session..like a hangover, sometimes your good until you move.

Possibly, but there's a large element of specific memory and balance tests to determine concussion status that players undertake pre season then retake if in doubt

 

[TheRemovalist]

What do people think Dusty will score tonight?

63 he is Soooooo inconsistent he should be a mid forward
Sicily to Greene
Martin to macrae this week or next

 

[Bones]

Keefe as a possible 'in' is annoying - which two should I put on field out of T McDonald, Doedee and R Gray?

Tmac and Robbie at home

 

[GrainFedBeef]

I’m the same in that I will get to look at Mihocek before deciding what to do with Sicily. If Keefe stays as an emergency as usual that is good for planning but could be annoying if he is a late in in the last game if using him to loop.

Is Sicily not out for six games, why is anyone keeping him? is there info and assumption that it may not be a six week injury?
