Dermie played with a [censored] punctured Lung [censored] some people have no idea.

Actually Derm played with a fractured rib,Dipper played with a punctured lung but I'm just being pedantic.

Geez I would hate to c how we treat each other if we followed different teams.

We r in the same side aren't we?

Some guys play through pain and some just refuse to, I think Dress fits Dawes perfectly.

and some guys injure themselves beyond repair. How the heck do you know how much pain Dawes or anyone is in. More armchair toughness.

I suspect that mjt may not be able to grasp the fact that Chris Dawes is in fact a very tough customer and may be willing to play with pain, yet he may be physically not capable as a result of his injury of being able to play his designated rôle and pull his weight to the extent required for a full match of AFL.

We have all seen what can happen when a player goes into a match underdone: he does neither his team nor his self justice.

Has no one heard about the clubs no risk policy?

The club wont play players that are under done - its risk management

Maybe thats why these guys aren't playing...

You and the club are clearly wrong, wrong, wrong: mjt knows far better.

As someone else pointed out it was Dipper.

...even I've played at local level with cracked and broken ribs, concussion, stitches in my head and even for a little while with a broken collar bone, I'm sure there are quite a few on here who have done the same or similar but I couldn't play when I did a hammy, calf or thigh. You do one of those leg injuries properly and you can't move, not a good look in the modern game.

Or more fundamentally, what the idiot also doesn't grasp is that he is advocating potentially stuffing a player for all eternity in return for him playing one game, in Round 1, against a mediocre opposition.

For the record, whilst I wish I said something stronger, it astounds me that !d!ot is censored.

Be grateful.

Be grateful.

Think I'm tough enough to see what people actually say about me without being [censored], if that's what you mean.

Lol those peahearts would take a swing fall over and break there ACL and be out for another 6 weeks there brittle barbie dolls and there games played justify that call .

If we can repair ACLs in 6 weeks we do need more of these pea hearts. We'd be revolutionising footy and probably have Alex Johnson, Nathan Vardy and Dan Menzel joining the clubs. Thanks mjt you are a genius.
