Gorringe just has to compete. That's all we should expect.

re: Glandular Fever....EBV  to those in the trade.....another herpes format that you get over but dont get rid of. A lot of kids have it but is just gets passed of as the flu as it only lasts a short time in most cases..
My Eldest had it for 24 months and it still pops up in her blood tests if you look for it..my son had it for about 4 weeks and like DJ's lad was back playing basketball in about 6 weeks..he is a big strong boy though and shook it off quick and I would expect a fine specimen like Charlie Curnow to do similar.....
In fact we found getting back to your routine and doing some moderate exercise tended to help more than continual rest...

Is there a relationship or link between Glandular Fever and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?

The friend i mentioned earlier ended up with CFS after contracting Galandular Fever. Thats why she was bed ridden for the best part of 12 months.

Didn't Alastair Lynch suffer the same fate. A year off to try and recover.

Yep, not surprised to hear the modern treatment is the opposite of the old world ideas of rest. I watched a show on ABC the other week that said exactly the same thing about cancer and chemotherapy. The new theory is exercise stimulates blood flow assisting the drugs to get to where they need to be with much lower doses, something about opening pathways that the body naturally does to generate energy needed for exercise helps distribute the therapy. But the spin off was that even patients not having chemo saw a benefit from immediate exercise, they think this is because exercise triggers the bodies repair mechanism allowing it to deal with tumor cells. Resting requires higher doses to ensure all critical zones are treated and doesn't trigger the bodies own repair process.

Is there a game today?

Go Blues!

Forget Levi's contribution last week as it was non existent (no fault of his) Weitering and White are strong inclusions and either has Jammo covered at this stage. If you rate Kruezer's performance at 100%, I'd be stoked if big Orange could give us 75% of that, and pinch a goal.

Re KJ, you are seeing that the Crows are playing hard ball with Menzel who has more runs on the board than KJ. Bolts has said that NB performance and effort will be rewarded and obviously KJ hasn't produced that to a satisfactory level. (Would SOS have considered him, if he had been in the chair at the time ?)

If he was interested in KJ (and we don't know he would have been) he would have offered a lower pick and maybe a player.

Malty wanted instant results, SOS is rebuilding so i don't think there's any chance he'd have traded out of the top 10 for a speculative tall who nobody had figured out if he was a forward or a back or a bust.

Jaksch's been unlucky as he has been pretty good in the twos. Marking very well, kicking some goals and last week 20 touches and 6 marks. We do have a number in his spots at both ends so he's really having to earn his stripes after a pretty good year thus far with the NBs.

We have quite a few that have been filling his spots. We might be better off with Jaksch rather than Jones but Jones got in based on good early season form, especially against Geelong, and simply hasn't done enough to be dropped. You could argue having him in before Jammo and White as well but we've gone with experience.

Jones got in curtesy of playing closer to goal than Jaksch and kicking slightly more goals. Bizarre situation where Cas gets injured and our next best tall fwd isn't even an emergency. BB hates him.

You have to wonder what SOS's take on him is?
