I feel more sorry for Sydney Stack.
Why? He got to play in a VFL flag over blokes who were in better condition. Has had a great first year and will be important for years to come, it's only the start for him.
really feel for both Jack Ross & Kam
Both didn't get the opportunity to play last week, so missed out on a premiership
Now they miss out on the opportunity this week
Great for Marlion, got to be devastating for those 2 blokes
Gutted for them too. However, they are AFL players and their job is to support the AFL team. They are not there to play VFL Grand Finals as harsh as that may sound. By sacrificing themselves they gave us security. If Marlion either played poorly or got injured, Ross would be playing. If Broad hadn’t come up, Kamdyn would have played. They have played their role and if we win on Saturday, they will be part of the reason we have another flag.
Understand what you are saying but it's never good to see blokes miss out on grand finals under these circumstances no matter what level. VFL is a great standard of footy in the grand scheme of things, probably just misses out on being the 2nd best competition in Australia given the SANFL is sublime. I know if I were to miss out on the big day at AFL level I would be very keen to add a VFL medal to the trophy room.
Who knows. If we let the world come to us and rested no one, maybe Mcintosh recaptures his best form and Ross has 40 touches. Instead neither got the chance to play in a premiership or push their case for the AFL one.
poo situation for those boys. Hard to swallow I'd imagine.
