9th of July will be 1 year since he got injured.
Reckon 1 more VFL game than bring him in against the Suns.

The 37 VFL byes per year can **** OFF. It's a serious annoyance of mine and this is a prime example why. If he's still not quite at the starting line after next week then what? We play him underdone? He sits out a week? It's just stupid.

Horrendous. Our competition is a joke

Shirley gets another 2-3 games in the VFL. No rush whatsoever.

With key position player, i think he needs more time to get match fit.

But final 5 weeks should be a good return to footy.

 

[swaeney]

I know one of the reasons he came to us was because his best footy was in defence…. But our backline is kind of clicking at the moment with certain players playing career best footy.

We have a void at CHF. Do we see Gus thrown forward?

No
He replaces Dawson and will be a big upgrade

Dawson is solid depth

 

[harper2bastinac]

Would love to see him back this week, but wouldn’t mind giving him another week in the vfl to get match fit considering that our defence is working well together at the moment.

 

[Mute Point]

Do we bring him back this week on the smaller SCG or go conservative & give him one more week in the VFL then bring him back to play against Carlton at Marvel?

Vs the Blues would be my guess. Pending how he goes next VFL game.

VFL bye last week suggests he may need another run after the week off.

The fact he had some hamstring issues before returning might make the medicos extra conservative.

Be still my beating heart.

 

[hotchilli]

Has been look very rusty in the VFL so not putting massive expectations on him but just excited to have him back out there.

 

[Passmore]

Be still my beating heart.

Testosterone level in them team has increased immeasurably.

 

[Ashley B]

Good luck to The Log tomorrow. A very important piece going forward imo

 

[por_please_ya]

The question on everyone's lips is... Will we be seeing the goose-step?!

All jokes aside, awesome to see him back out there. My partner is chuffed.

 

[koshari]

Good first quarter, one infringement

 

[nelroo]

One strong mother****er he is. Very hard to shift once he plants his feet. Giving Curnow a workout that’s for sure. Something we haven’t seen for awhile. Thank **** for that !

 

[Chadwiko]

Bloody love this bloke. Just super reliable down back and never seems to panic.

Just gonna repost this from June 2023 because nothing has changed.

 

[shintemaster]

Did fine and the right call was made.

 

[amaz199]

No issues with his game.

Curnow got kissed on the dick by the umps.

 

[shimaburnsgrieg]

Tremendous game from Logue - amazing effort giving it was his first game back.

Adds a steely resistance to the backline which is sorely needed.

Haven't seen the stats but must have been Curnow in 10 1 on 1's.

Well done.
