a) I could be wrong of course but given his performances thus far (and as I said earlier he has a few mates) it certainly appears to be restricting him and if that is the case, particularly given we are only Round 4 give him a rest and bring in someone that is much closer to 100%. b) is irrelevent, his selection should be based on how fit he is on gameday and whether his injury is restricting him to the extent that it is severly effecting his performance.Originally posted by liz
But a large number of players carry injuries into games. If they all cried off sick as soon as some part of their body was a little sore, hardly a single player would hit 100 games, let alone 300.
Crouch must have played with injuries before, given that he's yet to miss a game. The question is not whether he has an injury, but whether it is a) an injury that is truly restricting him to the extent he's not better for the team than Moore, Schmidt or Spriggs and b) whether it is an injury that will benefit from rest.
I have a suspicion that the Selection Committ. are placing too much faith in his recovery powers.Comment

Crouchy is now officially a champ in my mind. He has bled in all kinds of ways for the club.
To suggest he's interested in the record is a croc. He gets paid whether he plays or watches it from the lounge with the legs up. If he was selfish, the easy thing to do would be to take the lounge option and cash the cheques.
He's not the most skillful, he won't get off the ground and nor will he drill a 50m bullet to Baz, but he works within his limitations. He's rarely ever been beaten by an opponent and more often than not, embarrasses superstar opponents.
The reason for his recovery powers are probably less to do with flesh and bone, but more to do with discipline and focus. His professional commitment to mate, club and us as fans is second to none in the AFL.The Pain of Discipline is Nothing Like The Pain of DisappointmentComment

To be honest, I think Williams has been under-done lately as well. But like Crouch, to suggest that perhaps he should be forced to have a week off is taken as an insult. To all you Crouch lovers, wouldn't you rather see him fully fit and play out the season than see him carry an injury at the 70% level and not make the distance? It's as if your more concerned about him making that silly record than he is! There I said it!!

Didn't you see him weave a beaut path in major traffic at the Dome on Saturday night? Carved up 4 Carlton players, showed some great finess.The Pain of Discipline is Nothing Like The Pain of DisappointmentComment

There are a couple of games a year where Crouch is one of our most important players. And this week against the Dee's playing on Davey is one of them.
If Davey fires and puts the pressure on our backs he is renowned for then we are in trouble.
Crouch even at 90% fitness must play this week. The only other match up for Davey I can see is Scheinder and that looks way to dangerous for my liking.

We must not let setiment decide the issue on Crouch - if he is fit he is in in my book...but is he fully fit? Can we trust the coaching staff / selectors to get it right?
I'm tempted to say yes...but Chambers???Comment
