How/why is Simpson being managed?

He only just came back from 2 weeks out and we’re already missing Thomas from our half back line.

Managed = dropped. He had a shocker last week.
2012 HAPPENED!!!!!!!

Surely after a couple of weeks out you' would cut him some slack for a poor game on return.
Especially with Thomas out of the side.
"Managed' just doesn't make any sense...


(Edit: ......to me! But I'm buggered if a lot of what's going on makes any sense to me.)

We will win so easily, we can afford to rest him ::)

Sad that we are still relying on a bloke that is what 35/36 but his body now is finally showing its age.

What a warrior he has been and bloody sad last week as the poor bloke looked a beaten man even early in the game......I could see it on his face.

Reckon he knows his dream of playing in a successful team has now passed him by.

Sadder still. He's played in one of the most unsuccessful teams.
I don't think I'd be keen to pull on the guernsey just games away from the worst personal record imaginable ????
I really feel for Simmo. He's been a champion of our club in it's darkest times.

Keeping together is progress.

My brother is a doctor and has been a local footy club doctor for a couple of decades. He was shocked that Simpson was coming bcak from a hamstring strain so quickly. He said once guys get over 30, if they do a string, it's usually 5-6 weeks to get back, even for a minor strain. They just don't heal as quickly. I suspect he puled up sore in the hammy after Sunday's game and they are going to give it another week or two to get it right

Just beat me...lol.

x3... be good to see Kerr playing, Hooker and Hurley though probably not the easiest potential opponents...

They’ll be busy with McKay and Charlie - provided the midfield can actually get the ball to them.

Wrong! His hamstring still isn't right.
I spent most of my money on Women and grog.
The rest I just wasted.

Then it wouldn't say "managed", it would say "hamstring".

i saw 'general soreness' somewhere...
Finals, then 4 in a row!

Nah we rushed another one back.

He was probably shocking because of his hamstring.

Garlett might be in the thinking as a defensive forward option against Saad? His run off half back is critical for Essendon and not sure we have anyone with that sort of speed....him or Polson might get a gig for that exact role. But I'm hoping Kerr gets a crack at it.

It's probably not fair to Kerr given the forecast, I hope if they do bring him in it's not just for one game as cover for McGovern.

For me giving Kerr a crack is an opportunity for Charlie to go back and find some form, do it know while he has Daisy in the VFL to keep him focused on the job!
