Lack of game time; why?

Re: Lack of game time; why?

Interesting. Essendon hit the interchange limit in each of the first two quarters...I think we hit 12.

Ludicrous or not, the interchange limit was not the reason (and changes made during the breaks dont count).

Yes they do

Yeah they do.

I agree they do.

Re: Lack of game time; why?

Well that is ludicrous if true. The NAB Cup are glorified practice matches, and should offer similar opportunities to the coaching staff for experimentation. This arbitrary rule is supposed to achieve.....what?

It achieves absolutely nothing. This experimentation is a joke.

Kind of on point re game time in an absolute sense, why isn't Wight playing on Friday?

I would have thought it was the perfect opportunity to get some CHF time into him.

Either injured slightly or they've given up already

I actually think Wight has done ok at CHF. he seems to run to the right spot's on most occassions. His biggest problem so far is holding his marks and then moving the ball onto a team-mate once he has it.

I agree but i don't really know what the coaches think.

So the most likely reason would probably be the policy of taking no chances with injuries at this time of year

I agree (we haven't been doing much of that lately).

Maybe they want to give him a full game at CHF for Willi.

Would be interested to see who they play at CHF for us then. Will they revert back to Murphy in this role?

We don't seem to have many options in this area and I thought this type of game would give Wight the perfext opportunity to gain some confidence playing CHF against an AFL team.

And no we don't have to agree all the time, it would be boring if we all had the same opinions..
