Round 9: Team changes against the poos & wees

VFL game on Sunday.

Might be a good opportunity to make Sonsie the sub.
Pre-game routine exposure and get his first game nerves out.
Can still play on Sunday depending on TOG on the Saturday (if any).

Sonsie no chance of being Sub.

We're not Essendon and have players debut as sub.

But you’re happy to punish the sub who happens to be the 23rd best available senior player?
That makes even less sense to me.

*Should preface that with if the sub doesn’t get any playing minutes.

It's really simple. Pick the best team available.

Yeah. Imagine making your debut sitting on the bench not knowing if you even touch the green stuff.

Would prefer Martyn as sub to Aarts. But think we might jump on the Sheds rest/sub strategy

Back in limited overs cricket Australia had an A and B side in the final and Paul reiffel was 12th man for aus A and didn’t play.

Doubt it, Mitchell is sick as well.

Well, it's hard to know what is going on with Covid, flu, gastro, injury and age - too old or too young! Otherwise, if Newcomb and/or Mitchell can't play, they'll most likely recall Shiels.
 
Dont Argue said:
Not sure I want to get caught up in word play but how do you omit a player and give them no opportunity to prove themselves in the VFL and then promote them the week later? How do you differentiate that message to players who are dropped through lack of form?
Omit means dropped on form. Required to gain it before promotion.
Rested or managed is giving the player a week off but I’m suggesting it’s an opportunity playing the percentages and playing them as the medi sub as opposed to wasting a game from a developing junior who may or may not play a minute of football like Sydney Stack last week.

So much for being 'rested or 'managed'. If this was the case he wouldnt be named in the VFL team.

He was dropped. Plain and simple.

Call it as it is.

“If” Edwards plays VFL, then you were right, he was dropped and it should have been communicated that way.
But you seem to have difficulty understanding the difference between omitted and managed which I’ve tried to explain to you.

Well, we know what it is to get Covid.
A nephew from the USA came to visit on Mothers' Day and was infected, but did not know it at the time.
No prizes we now have Covid and i can tell you it is not great.
So much for being triple vaxxed!!
No idea what other people who have contracted suffered it but in our case it is not a heap of fun.
Maybe the age thing does not help.
Off now to get some cough mixture into us and then will watch the game tonight.
In iso until next Thursday.
