Can't believe they got it so right.

This is exactly what has been happening for 100 years,if you change that then you alter the fabric of the game. Personally I'd like to see players alter their behaviour about charging backwards into a huge pack with a minimal chance of actually marking the ball. In 2023 it's not brave,it puts themselves & anyone else in contest at unnecessary risk.
We would however need the media to stop lauding players for this act.

Sampson Ryan just became a bit more popular.

Seriously though, the club is hiding something. How does an AFL player, who has the best access to recovery treatment & conditioning, miss 2x weeks due to general soreness?

Definitely carrying an injury.
The Suns’ injury updates have recently been cagey to the point of being meaningless.

Ellis was listed as TBA last week - he then proceeded to play in the VFL, well ahead of players on more precise timelines. Budarick is still TBA. How can they not have an estimate?

The only actual news in that “update” is that Witts is a test. Anyone could have written the rest.

BLAHH :rolleyes:

"It's one of those things that's hard to put a timeline on," Dew said.

"He's been a bit sore all year and it's just managing that."

What is "it"?

I thought "it" was general soreness...
Probably the same kind of withholding / deception like with Fyfe, pre-existing condition they don't want anyone to know about.
Makes SC a fair bit harder when they're not just being transparent, and if a player isn't 100%, they shouldn't be playing them.

Wow, you wouldn't have enough players to start a game. :D

I used to understand what was meant by "it", but then they changed what "it" was.

Now what I understand to be it isn't "it" anymore, and what's "it" seems weird and scary.

It'll happen to you!

Unless you're planning on moving Doc to Dawson or Saad (or Michalanney), then you can use the 'trade update' function to update accordingly post the hearing.
Therein lies the issue. Doc to Dawson or to Day (if not suspended) would change things for me. If Day gets off, Worpel goes, Gulden/KP in. If Day suspend, maybe just Dawson in.

I have a similar predicament - if Day gets off, Worpel goes to Day & Mackenzie goes to Stewart.

If Day is suspended, it will just be Cowan to Stewart in a single trade - which I need to lock in before the bounce tomorrow night.
