Two Coaches & a Coffee

What goes through a coach's mind when deciding if an injured player should compete in a high-stakes game? Join us as we explore this critical question with Darren Burgess and Jason Weber, delving into real-life examples like Callum Mills' fitness dilemma and historical cases involving Phil Davis and Stephen May. We'll discuss the fine line between player readiness and long-term health, drawing from our own experiences with grand final fitness tests and the constantly changing weather conditions in Western Australia. Plus, we'll give you an inside look at the excitement surrounding major sporting events like the AFL grand final and the Rugby League preliminary final.
