What's O.P.?
My first thought was osteoporosis. Hope that's not the case
Hanners near the end of the game kind of gave up when on the mark. Like he was over it, or maybe over some confining injury.

The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.

He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)
GWS Injury list looks impressive but when you actually investigate it a bit more you see this;
Buntime & Kennedy are gone for the year and like our position with AJ for a long time can't be considered anyway. So we take them from the equation. If they are not going to be able to return this year they are not list depth until next year.
Greene, Johnson & Williams all played so take them off.
That leaves Coniglio & griffin as definitely best 22 who are still injured.
Developing players Hopper, Taranto & Himmelberg as developing players. Although I swear I saw the number 14(Taranto) playing in the reserves.
Mohr & Reid are depth players.
Findlayson is not probably AFL level at this time.
Tiziani played reserves and that will be his lot this year as the older players return.
As for the swans Robbo did the job asked of him as a defensive forward and even managed a goal so I think horse will be pleased with his game.
If Reid doesn't get up for next week we have a few options. We have to be certain we don't isolate Bud as the only tall forward. That is a disaster as the opposition just set three on him and don't worry about the consequences. If we do that we have to make sure we have numbers at Bud's feet. Too many times that spare man or spare men are not anywhere near Bud when the ball is delivered long. But the other option is to be smart and use the free players.
But the alternative is to have another tall come in. The options are, remember we are looking for a forward not a back, so Marsh is not an option what's more his set shots are diabolical;
Aliir -- Has been playing a utility role in the reserves and is starting to kick very good goals. He ticks all boxes, he is a key position player & is now playing forward
Rose -- Has been playing very well in the reserves. He is not a key position player but is a handy forward. The only doubt is whether he can replicate his reserves form in the seniors. The other doubt is is workrate, he can be lazy.
Dawson -- Can play forward and rests there in the reserves and kicks goals. The advantage is that he will give you an extra mid who is huge for a mid at 191cm. He is a very good kick so if we can give him the ball he will kick goals or deliver to a teammate. He is more a third tall but would not be out of place as a key leading forward who can also take a huge grab.
Hayward -- He is a very good goal kicker. But cannot play the key forward role because at AFL level he is just too light at this stage. But he does add that X factor. He took a really great contested mark between two opponents yesterday and kicked a very good goal.
That's all folks. Take your pick on the type of team you want to play saints next week.
By the way if Smithy goes on a short holiday, can't see that happening as he has no form, then marsh, who has not played that well, would probably come in as Murray (Reserves Back Pocket) is only a Rookie.
yes.
Osteitis Pubis is a common cause of chronic groin pain in the football codes. It is an overuse injury. That is, it is caused by repeated trauma rather than a specific incident. However, it is not uncommon for a specific incident to trigger the symptoms.
Osteitis Pubis
Says it all really....
To clear up previous posts, the Best 22 missing for GWS who may come back for them by finals, Cameron, Griffin, Deledio, Coniglio, Hopper, Taranto, although a couple of these are likely to not be ready. So some extra firepower for GWS at the pointy end.
OP can be a lingering debilitating complaint, hope the rumour isn't true as no leeway to rest Hanners now.
Am I spending way too much time checking the ladder ? Certainly way more than Horse.
It was good fun mate. Spending quality time with the wife is the most important thing. We caught up with some Suits and started watching this series called The Handmaids Tale.
I've just finished reviewing the 1st half. The pressure is incredible from the Swans, the Swans look very well drilled by coach Longmire and Buddy provides that extra class. Also very pleasing to see K. Jack playing so well. He looks like he is running on top of the ground.
Agree on Naismith, many of Mummy's HOs would have been vs Towers or Parker (or indeed no one at all!).
What's people's views on the one ruckman policy? Is it working? Is it sustainable? I feel uncomfortable about it but we do keep winning.
There are several less-experienced players I would not want to lose. Naismith is one of them.
If he picks up an injury , that's a real problem for us : we can cover the loss of Parker or Hannerbery or Heeney more easily.
Tippett will have to come back in when he's fit , but he should be second-fiddle to Sam.
And while I'm here - Happy Birthday , Sam !
Apparently he only has one ankle as he hurt his groin on Saturday. Nervous wait for Sydney Swans ruckman Kurt Tippett after injury scare
"Tippett has been troubled by an ankle issue for much of the year but this time it was groin tightness which brought an early finish to his night... Last year's grand finalists do not believe Tippett's injury is significant but it was enough of a concern for them to pull the pin on his game shortly into the second half. Tippett had been slated to play 80 minutes � the equivalent of close to three quarters � in his first game at any level in nearly a month."
Is that true, or did you read it in the Herald-Sun?

Come on Barry, come clean. Your real name is Cliff and you're from Clematis. Am I right or am I right?
