Armo might play VFL this weekend (only part of the game)
http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-07-18/v ... return-afl
TOUGH St Kilda midfielder David Armitage is on track to return through the VFL this week after two bouts of groin surgery this season,
with retired Saint Sean Dempster helping Armitage's recovery.
good news in an otherwise unhappy week
he has to pull up well from Thursday's training first.
Restricted minutes, if he plays.

Good news. I think we've missed his toughness in the middle.

He ain't the answer imo
Really Armitage is a tough, 1 paced mid in a list that has quite a few of these types...

Can he help with on-field leadership and help to arrest a potential blow-out?Teflon wrote:He ain't the answer imo

He's played 156 games? A bit of experience can help a bit, I'd suggest.
He won't grab a game by the throat like Joel Duckwood, but he would help.

Yeah that's lovely but I'm talking bout the future and I'm not sure he's there in 2-3 years when we might challenge and be in that midfield on the last Sat sept
Agree he's no Selwood and unlikely to materially influence a game off his own boot - hence why we desperately need A grade quality and fast

Who would come out from last week's side if Armo was ready to go now?
Also if 8cres was to get a game - who comes out?

Keelhauling - there should be more of it!elizabethr wrote:Keelhaul the Scurvy Dog !
Historical Evidence wrote:The process of Keelhauling involves sailor who is stripped and tied so that he cannot swim, with chains or cannonball being tied to his body (usually legs). He was then fastened with two ropes. One from his back to the yard-arm (the widest point of the horizontal structure of the main mast), and other that went from sailor all the way under the ship to the other side of yard-arm. When sailor was dropped in the water the weight will pull him under the waves, but to prevent him going too much under the crew (sometimes entire crew of the ship) will pull on the second rope, forcing the sailors to to move under the ship and touching the hull, eventually raising him up on the other side of the ship.
The punishment here was not focused only on the prospect of drowning (which was a real possibility) but more on the injuries the sailor received while hitting the bottom hull of the ship that was often overgrown with barnacles and other sea life. The cuts received from such close contact could not only cause severe injuries and blood loss, but also the loss of limbs and even in some cases decapitation. The speed of movement while underwater was often crucial in determining how much injuries will sailor get. If the rope was pulled more slowly, weight on the sailor would cause him to go deeper and narrowly miss the barnacles on the hull. But if he was pulled faster, the sailor would remain in contact with the hull during entire underwater travel, causing incredible injuries. During times when underwater sections of the hull were not covered with sea life (if the ship was new or recently cleaned during repairs) or of the ship was too small, keelhauling was done from front to back of the ship. This prolonged the duration the sailor was held underwater. In some cases, Dutch officers pushed an oil-soaked sponge in the victim's mouth, which gave them an opportunity to extract an additional breath of air when they were underwater. Victims of this gruelling torture method were usually not brought back on the ship immediately, and instead were left hanging on the yard-arm as a warning to other sailors.

Re: Armo might play VFL this weekend (only part of the game)
Armo could play the small forward role brilliantly - aggressive pressure, reliable around goals and is very good overhead as a bonus. Replaces Lonie. Imagine him and a fit Weller hunting and tackling opposition backmen and both are no slouches when in mid field traffic.
AwayInUSA no longer ... have based myself back in Melbourne for a decade of Saintsational Success (with regular trips back to the USA)
