Most of us aren’t bagging anyone, we want him to do whatever he needs to do without any pressure from the footy club or anyone else, to get well. His health first, footy second.
Whilst that sentence is probably quoted a lot its a double edged sword.
Person first always, club second where the person’s health and well being are concerned.
It is but I was suss that he was being rested last week. Surely given that it’s been such a miserable few weeks for the club, he provides the good news to the fans that he is definitely playing if he is playing.
Geez. People were bagging the club saying that the club miss-managed JD last year by playing him in too many games in a short period when there were concerns over his groin. Now they are saying that there is a problem because we are managing him.
Joey had general soreness.
He could’ve played, would’ve played if it was a GF.
Possibly he had the soreness against cats as he was crap in that match, but that is a guess.
Clearly he is not back to full health and fitness yet.
No one is being dishonest. It is pointless to tell the media every detail of the challenges, injuries and knocks that all 22 players deal with each week.
Just reacting to what John Worsfold said in the presser… He thinks maybe Joey will play but they have to wait and see… See how he goes over the next few days.
That sounds like an injury rather than being rested.
I’ve never heard Woosh give a solid yes on a player before team selection is announced. In fact, what he said made me more confident that Joe will be playing. Anyway we’ll know in a few hours.
