Interesting point, particularly with Covid protocols in place. A couple years ago, plenty of clubs used it as a recognition of training standards rather than the likelihood of a fourth emergency ever getting a late call up.piffdog wrote:Just wondering how much stock we should put in the emergencies. Given they almost never are required, it could be used as an internal 'reward' for effort, without it necessarily meaning they are the next cab off the rank.
Happy to be set straight - but my point is its an inconsequential statement to make.
However, my guess would be that all clubs would need to now pick the next best as emergencies, in case a couple in the best 22 tested positive on the morning of the game ( and even more applicable if you’re playing interstate )
What we can safely say is that there is a reason Harrison was named as an emergency and even more importantly, it will be a positive reason.
If you look at this weeks emergencies, they cover all parts of the ground. Ruck and tall forward, midfield, “ tall “ defender and Harrison as the small ground level forward. The balance is right, it’s just that some of the names may surprise.
