Should MM play the Ressies GF?

Question of fitness vs risk of injury, with Benny out, can we risk him to keep his fitness at an acceptable level?

[johnno]

nope, shouldnt play

[Dosser]

That finished that thread.

Doesn't need the run as he played a full bruising encounter last Saturday and risk of injury is too great. Imagine if he pulled a hammy!

Id play him for a half

[Lucky Knickers]

Id play him for a half

Yep. Not often you get a chance to be a dual premiership player in the same season.

[Woodie]

No don't play him. Shouldn't need the run, has played most of the year in 2's

[Swanno]

Save him for the prelim, he showed enough last week that he should at least get another chance in the 1's. Keep him fresh. On the other hand, him kicking a bag in the 2's may do us some good also.

Had a reyhink, yeh play him, start him & let him kick 5 then take him off, deserves a medal in the 2's.

Go Bloods

[Wardy]

No!

[Dogzbody]

He should play in the prelim, and actually think he is in our best 22 (I know hard to say from 1.25 games of senior footy). Get him hungry with a quick bag and then get him off!

Interesting quote from Longmire today:

?We just thought that specifically against Adelaide, that Mitch was a chance to play a role for us up forward, and he certainly did that,? Longmire said.

Yep, give him a chance to play in A granny. He has been there all year, is leading the comp in goals, it would be a bit mean to deny him that chance imho. He will be fine and available to play the next week. He missed a bit to start with so hasn't played a full season yet.

And besides, I don't think Horse had him in realistic finals sights in the first place. It was a chance and MM took it. There is a dilemma brewing I suspect.

[The Big Cat]

Play him. He's not in our best 22 if McGlynn is fit and Grundy comes back in.

I would have thought if anyone needed game time it would be Luke Parker, subbed in the last 2 games. The problem is that the reserves are limited to 12 listed players in total for the whole game and playing anyone for a half would significantly impact on our chances of winning the flag.
