They said a few weeks ago i think, that his injury is an awkward one to put a time frame on. You basically just have to take it as it comes. Longer has had a back complaint last week or two, so i don't think we will be rushing him back into senior action, but is possible he might play another couple of games this year, just depends on how his body is holding up with the work load. Huddo is doing a great job, and Merrett is doing well as the back up role.

Lisle has been in decent form the last couple of weeks, i wonder if he might be getting close to a game, being that he also has part time ruck ability.

 

[Unknown Caller]

Will Rockliff return to his form from last year in DT or will he keep spending a lot of his time in the forward line? He's been pretty inconsistent this year.

 

[Stocka]

Rockliff hasn't spent that much time forward of late. He's been matched up against tougher opponents this season and probably still coming to grips with the step up. I reckon he's been getting in to games with a more consistent effort in recent weeks, so hopefully he can knock out really good scores over the rest of the year.

 

[POBT]

Not DT but in SC, Rockliff has averaged 118 since the bye - there was one standout game in those 3 but still a pretty reasonable return.

How long will Golby be out for?

I heard about 4 weeks, is that true?

4 Weeks, yes. Hopefully no more then that, and likely to come back in fairly quickly. Maybe 5 if they run him in reserves once before hand.

any update on leuenberger ?

Last we heard was a potential game return around round 18 (presumably through the reserves). Could end up being mothballed for the year though, given how late that is and how important he is.

meaning from a SC perspective his season is over. thanks.

Yeah, would not look at him this year for SC unless he's named and you need donut avoidance in the finals.

 

[chopperduck]

I think if he gets his fitness up they will give him a game or 2, get some miles into the legs leading into preseason. But he isn't going to be relevant for any DT or SC teams.

Hi all. With Giles out I need to know if there is ANY chance of Longer being a late inclusion this week, asap. Cheers.

 

[DeMerrett]

Doesn't look promising...

 

[cammo6556]

Is Bartlett far off a debut or should I look elsewhere for a downgrade option?

Look elsewhere, there are better options out there that have already debuted in the last week or two.

thought as much... thanks for the info. Is he likely to get a run at some stage anyway?

Hard to say. We could rotate him in given we're out of the finals race now, but I don't think he's putting "pick me" pressure on the selection committee.

Will Elliot Yeo be playing for the rest of the year? If not, how many games?

Impossible to say. If pushed I'd guess he won't play every game. We've got a few players in the magoos pushing for selection and a few on the fringe of our best 22, so I imagine Voss would want to get a few games into all of them.

 

[dlanod]

What happened with Drummond? Saw a couple of mentions of him getting injured. Will he miss weeks?

Landed awkwardly. Seemed to jar his knee or some such. No idea if he'll miss weeks, but was subbed out not long after (from memory).

Courier Mail today says it was cramp but that he also jarred his knee.

What has happened to Rockliff? Is he still playing forward and is it likely to continue? He used to be so consistent..
Thanks.

There's suspicion that he's carrying a niggle or two. He's not being as effective at accumulating the ball as he had been, even when not forward.

 

[chopperduck]

Isn't covering the ground he use to. He use to get back and pick up easy marks and kicks being a link guy and that isn't happening. Near the end of the season, he is certainly carrying something.
