I think he is allergic to any football.

Smith was great until they told him not to tackle so much.

Something has to be done about the VFL scheduling. How can there be so many byes?

Annoying we can’t get a scratch match in

186

I think there’s 21 teams in the VFL. Cut three of the stand alone teams, the 4 that remain each get assigned one of the Perf or SA teams strictly in terms of fixturing. Match the AFL fixture. No more 87 byes.

There’s an upcoming (at least) 5 week stretch without a bye.

Hoo fkg ray. Five weeks between byes is still too many byes - it’s not something to be thankful for in any way.

Of course by then at our current cadence, the VFL won’t matter because we’ll have so many injuries that everyone will be playing AFL anyway.

Did he get through without an injury?

He won’t play off a 5 day break against the Lions. VFL team play next Friday, so you’d think he plays that, then a chance against Carlton on the Sunday night after.

Looked sharp and running on top of the ground which was nice to see.

I just can’t see a reason to rush him in. Id give him 2 more games in the VFL to give him confidence in his body.

He needs at the very least another game in the VFL, would be a poor decision to play him off that preparation.

Im a big Parish fan, but it is such an easy call to give him another VFL game (at least).

  • He hasn’t played all year
  • Is prone to soft tissue injuries
  • Usually takes a few weeks to get up and running
  • This year is a write off, a development year, so there is no rush to bring him in.
  • Tsatas is playing well and deserves a shot.
