Glad to see this fella back among the full training. Looking forward to his reappearance in the purple very soon.

Haze did his back before he even played afl iirc. He did a disc and got a fusion which was an idiotic move. But the main problem was chops inability to keep himself in decent nick. He’d get to round 22 then park himself on the couch for 12 weeks and show up to training looking like a potato.

Yeah he's the one that can change the angles, and get that burst of separation.
His ability to pick up the ball at speed is impressive too.
His talent became clear pretty quick, along with his obvious injury struggles, but he's taken it to a new level this year, genuinely damaging.

And this is exactly why we need him playing finals.

I was at the game but we all saw Tabs come off… what was it? Back / hammy again? Saw the trainer trying to stretch out that area so we assumed so
Tabs has been very unreliable this year, very concerning

He did a hammy in a marking contest late in the second.
They showed him doing some hamstring tests on the bench during the third before he got subbed.
We've had a good run with injuries so far this year but things are on a knife's edge at the moment:
That's 10 players on the list - a number we haven't seen since last year.
Really need to hope we get some good news re a few of those injuries this week.
Critical time of the year.

- Matt Taberner
- Sam Switowski

Taberner is the one that concern's me the most. Bad back which is probably the root cause of his hammy issues. Should see chappy, acres, and drizzy back in the next couple weeks which would be huge for us. I don't really expect to see switta back this season though which is a massive loss.
We can't go deep into September with only 1 key forward, Lobb.
If Tabs is so hit and miss, then big key defenders will stop our assault.
Having said that, Logue was bloody good yesterday.
Very good in the air

It seemed like it was precautionary rather than a definite injury. From memory, we were well in front by that stage or Port had only kicked a goal or two of the come back. It's concerning he's been out so much but I recon it's a 50/50 on him playing next week or being on the list with TBA next to his name.

I didn't notice him with any treatment post testing and I suspect given we were almost 40 points up it was the right call to put him on metaphorical ice (since he didn't get iced) and cruise to the end.
If we did lose the game it wouldn't have been because Tabs wasn't out there. It was all clearances.
The exact sort of lesson to learn without having to pay full price for it about four quarters of intensity.
The hope is with Treacy fit soon (touch wood) we can see how Lobb/Logue/Treacy play in the some forward line. Both Logue & Treacy are fantastic are ground level for key position players and means Lobb can't be doubled if they have to respect all three as lead-up targets

This would be ideal as long as Longmuir is happy to move Logue back which might not be necessary with Chapman soon to be back
Agree with that but they will likely take a more conservative option and I felt we were too tall against Carlton at Marvel. It looked briefly as though he was going to come back on but was tapped out after doing some further testing. Port got back into the game on the back of Dixon going beast mode for a few clearances there. Also Longmuir summed it up well. We got pushed back in the clearances (second in line) and the ball seemed to bounce around and landed perfectly for Port to run forward.
I’d run with a medium tall replacement for Tabs at Marvel and hopefully fully recovered Tabs for Optus the week after.
Banfield keeps popping up and showing me I know nothing but for mine he just struggles with the tempo of AFL footy. He is more than serviceable but for mine it is an opportunity to give Sturt a game. I reckon Sturt and Logue on the leads outside 50 - otherwise long to Lobb also on the lead at to around 30/40metres out. I think Logue can take those contested marks that Tabs did against Carlton out on the wing but with more mobility.

My concern playing Sturt is all WAFL had a bye. I think he needs continuity in playing to maintain his touch. Seemed to building for Peel before the bye. Give another 2 weeks and bring in for the Tigers game at Marvel. Make Grimes accountable for him and Logue.

Unreal - we nearly have a full list to choose from at 3/4 of the way through a season, can't remember us ever having such a fit list at this time of year.
Getting both our number 1 wing option and our 2nd/3rd in O'Driscoll (no idea if he sits in front of Aish in the pecking order or not) in a week or two is brilliant
