‘Should be targeting it’: AFL greats’ big warning to banged up Blues
Schofield said given the fact Docherty – who dislocated his shoulder before half time in the semi final win over Melbourne but bravely played out the match – will head north with a known injury concern, it’s an area the Lions need to target.
And it’s not just Docherty battling ahead of the preliminary final with teammates Blake Acres, Jacob Weitering and Patrick Cripps all pushing through the pain. “Now it’s always a fine balance with the coaching staff to wind their players up to be physical and go after a team, but then also keep what’s important at the forefront.”
“That’s probably frowned upon in this day and age. But there’s absolutely ways you can target players fairly and squarely to make sure if they do have an injury coming into the game – which we know they’ve got – they might not participate at their best.”
