RHYS-KY BUSINESS

GEELONG coach Chris Scott concedes selectors have yet to make up their minds on whether to recall injured ruckman Rhys Stanley to take on Melbourne in Friday night’s elimination final.

Stanley was last seen in the Round 21 loss to Hawthorn but managed minimal game time as he re-injured the calf injury that ruled him out of the previous week’s clash against Richmond.

With that game still fresh in Scott’s mind, he admitted everything would need to go right in the coming days for Stanley to be given the nod to have first crack at All-Australian ruckman Max Gawn, but said there was still an outside chance he would be named.

“We have got a decision to make,” Scott said.

“It is a fair way from the game and it has been put to me that maybe we might roll the dice, that’s just the wrong language, we won’t roll the dice at all.

“If he (Stanley) is fit we will have great confidence that the medical staff feel he can not only get through a game but perform really well, and if there is enough doubt there we just won’t play him — it’s not a complicated equation for us.

“He would have to train well at our next session to be a chance but he has been training and doing enough over the last week or so for us to have a fair idea of how he is going.

“He is tracking along OK so it won’t be a do or die session for him on Wednesday.
