Last post by Lods -Not on injury list.
Not on VFL team sheet last week.
If fit, would be a possible consideration this week.
Telehealth consultation and an e-script for anti-viral drugs. Old farts are a high risk category!Dunno if the rules have changed but Mrs G2G had ankle surgery last year and had to be minimum 7 weeks post covid for the surgeon to agree to perform it.
The doc said that it’s quite common for COVID sufferers to get significantly worse after five days, even with mild symptoms. 😳
Ms DJC's surgery has been postponed for a couple of weeks.
That's the way Crouch was taught to go for a ground ball. If Carroll had learnt the same technique, there would have been no head contact.
I agree that the game has to evolve to minimise head knocks but part of that evolution is a return to good technique and the elimination of foolhardy play encouraged by the rules as they are interpreted now. If two players went for the ball as Carroll did, it would have resulted in a head clash.
We have to condition ourselves to there being less contact in the sport. Crouch didn't have to do that.
It wasn't even a free kick.Nothing malicious in the bump and it was fair under the old rules but the onus is now " duty of care" and I have noticed a few players pulling up short in contests to avoid contacting the opposing player in an effort to look after them and its going to become more common and hopefully doesnt get confused with shirking the contest.
