Id rest rhys and just play him in round 1.
I cant handle the stress of him playing another praccie match.

Correct. Better if he gets injured in a proper game. And he has played 40 minutes already this year. Thats plenty.

[bobmurray]

He's a big chance to get injured ANY time he plays so he may as well just get out there and play

[Solar]

rubbish thoughts, play him for a set amount of minutes, pulls up well then he slots into CHB. Suns perfect to work him into the season down back. Is the ace in the hold as far as I'm concerned. Could be a reason we make the finals or not

[Eastern]

I'm pretty sure that the fitness staff at the club know what they are doing. If they say Rhys is ready to go and needs the run under his belt, that's fine by me !!

strangely yes I do, but like most I keep a little of the past on the walls, ah the memories....

He has permission to play, doesn't mean he's playing.

I agree. One is having a go at our player and one is having fun with a poster.

Presumably rookies don't need permission, so we could see Curren, Ferguson, Minchington, Shenton, Staley as well?

Won't see Fergo due to his knee op

[rexy]

Schneider Simpkin and Stanley all in contention for rd 1 I hope!

[Junction Oval]

The Medicos should know where he is at. Throwing him straight into a full-blooded game for 4 quarters seems to be a big risk to me for Round 1. A half this week (at his own intensity level), would be a good test.

[st_Trav_ofWA]

excuse my ignorance but wouldnt there be a lot more saints players allowed to play this weekend in the VFL then just the ones mentioned ?

Only the rookies. Only players returning from injury are given permission to play in VFL when team has a "bye". Those guys plus Curren, Shenton, Minchington should be named in the team later this afternoon. It's to stop AFL clubs from dropping all their players back to VFL.

[stkildathunda]

Not playing after all that by sounds of it

That means game at Frankston v Frankston has been cancelled altogether, does it?

[chook23]

Meanwhile at Frankston, Adam Schneider put his hand up for selection in St Kilda's Round 1 side with a second strong performance for Sandringham in two weeks.

Schneider has been carefully managed through the pre-season after hamstring and foot problems restricted him to eight senior appearances last season.

Key defender Tom Simpkin also played well.

He may be needed by the Saints after Rhys Stanley failed to take his place in the VFL team today. Stanley was named to play after hurting his knee early in the NAB Cup.

[saintbrat]

Early report from where chook23?

[saintbrat]

Ferguson was at the game, hopefully just a couple of weeks away
Pierce only half game

[Scoop]

A very promising half tho....

Also....Saunders very good today...
