Yeah mate. Finals experience for the 21 players that aren't Sandilands would definitely be a backwards step

My name isn't Gavin by the way 007. And yes it would be a backward step, but the anti-Rossers have a quota of must win games, so that is irrelevant.Yeah mate. Finals experience for the 21 players that aren't Sandilands would definitely be a backwards step
Any word on Valente or Dixon cider?

Valente added to his tackles late I think. Dixon would’ve been out of his depth in the conditions

We could be the first team to do a full rebuild from the mid season draft
Dixon Cider, I know where you are going with that 
Itd be a frickin miracle, and itd be better to work on long term plans than miracles.

Blakely, McCarthy and Logue all looking like they might be back playing this week. Stephen Hill with the good 'ol 6 weeks down to 5-6 weeks... treatment. Ballas and Sturt join the TBA mob. Kersten finally out of TBA - he'll no doubt be 4-5 weeks next week.
Connor Blakely | Hamstring | Test |
Cam McCarthy | Illness | Test |
Griffin Logue | Hamstring | Test |
Shane Kersten | Foot | 5 weeks |
Stephen Hill | Quad | 5-6 weeks |
Hayden Ballantyne | Hamstring | TBA |
Sam Sturt | Concussion | TBA |
Aaron Sandilands | Calf | TBA |
Harley Bennell | Calf | TBA |

Wow, the club one came out early, probs because of Saturday game.
Realistically, given three tests will almost certainly play somewhere this week and Sandi and Bennell are cooked, I'd say we are only a Stephen Hill away from having the best 22 available. Exciting times

I would personally put Sturt in the gym for a month or two before bringing him back and make him wear a helmet for the rest of his career. Was always going to be a long termer so risking concussion issues at this stage is asking for trouble. Given the guy he had contact with on the weekend ended up in hospital, its not like he's getting concussion from small impacts yet so I hope we are conservative and rule him out for a while
It’s his second concussion so they will take a very conservative view. When he is ready for cognitive assessment I’d expect he would then and only then progress to light duties for a month. Id say he is a good 6-8 weeks which puts him after the mid season bye. Could be longer and even on light duties he would struggle with gym work but he can go hard on the food

Wait, when was Sturts first concussion?
Yep I agree, let him hang out in the gym and eat some protein for a while.

As much as I want to see Sturt out on the field, this is probably the right approach.
Get him in the weight room, and let his brain fully recuperate.
Don’t want him to have any long term issues.
Too be fair both concussions he’s had have been from legitimately big hits, and not from innocuous incidents, so hopefully he can build his body and come back stronger.
Probably wouldn’t hurt for him to continue playing half back setting up the play when he is back playing.

Don't remember any others, has been knocked about a bit but this was just a head clash - would have concussed a buffalo!
Was there definitely a previous one?
What is it with our first round draft picks?

Hill - quad
Mora - knees
Apeness “- everything
Simpson - discipline
Sheridan - just shit
Sturt - concussion issues

I’m sure you know, but it was compartment syndrome. A bad medico would have put his limb at risk. If that progresses you can lose your leg. Some of the good ones only lose specific muscles which would still be career ending.

Good to hear Logue and Blakely are all good. Blakely I'll bring straight back in because he's a walk up selection imo. Logue I'd say play him in Peel for a bit and make him earn that spot back. Our defence is pretty solid at the moment.

Least points conceded after 5 rounds, solid is about right =)
