Still very rare though. I think Swans also only take 2 emergencies traveling and let 1 play in the NEAFL

[Ringo]

Just to reiterate reserves were also playing in Darwin so that probably also aided the decision to only take the 2 travelling emergencies and makes sense.

In 2 minds over whether Zorko should have been the original sub though.  One part says let him play and sub later with the counter what if he is sub and does not bring the zest when subbed on. Think right decision was made though.

Yeh not that uncommon Oss. WA teams only send over 2 travelling emergencies usually so the 3rd can still play in the WAFL that wkend

it's a risky tactic

Not all clubs have Eddie pouring money into the old back pocket ;)



Wish Zorko was a late out, gonna drop sooooooo much in value and he's in all my sides :(

honestly its 2 airfares and a few nights accommodation.

[Ricochet]

haha Ele was just having a little dig.

Its more the fact they can still play a game that weekend Oss and they would rarely need 2 emergencies, let alone 3.

Brown was never going to play... had to in the end

Heard that second hand Strikes but was unable to confirm. Merret also had a touch as well.

Pies took 4 players to Adelaide, I find it crazy the Lions didn't have at least 3.

Pies were playing Thursday night though so there was enough time to fly the emergencies back to play in the VFL. If the interstate clubs flew 3 emergencies every week it would mean players would be regularly missing out on a match altogether.

What's the point in naming 3 though?

[Ringo]

Think Oss according to AFL rules we have to name 3 emergencies. The gastro/flu was an unexpected occurrence and that caused problems. Our plans as I understand it Brown was not going to play and Close was the cover with Golby to cover any other outs which in the normal cause of events is usually sufficient and has been for us for a few seasons.
We do have exceptions when reserves are not playing though and take more.  One of the disadvantages of a decentralised competition and having your reserves playing in the NEAFL.
