You cannot take those 3 out for those reasons, maybe Acres as he was holding his arm up and it is obvs paining him immensely, but you’re taking out one of our very best who has played with the condition - Under extreme heat, and done magnificently. I would say absolutely not.
Just adding to the above, Weitering was talked about with potential concussion, but apparantly he was punched in the throat, so thats ok. However, i noticed at the game, and it was also mentioned in the presser after the game, that he had an issue with his hand/finger.
He was in pain, trying to do something to his hand, but stayed out there. Some speculation it could be a broken finger. I reckon it could have been a dislocation. IIRC he dislocated one in the past month or 2.
Bit of the walking wounded, but all those guys - Weitering (hollands) Docherty and Acres were the guys involved in the turnover, (transition) goal assist and goal to win us the game.
Our boys have guts and determination and a never say die attitude. Combine that with our natural talent.....and thats a very dangerous combination.......for opposition teams.
