[Funk]

Yup, commenting on that in the other thread. If it's RF he's out 3 weeks max.

Would they be thinking a lesion of some kind, or just head-scratching after trying to manage the issue?

Thinking through how scratching your head fixes a lower back problem.

I’m struggling..........

 

[AceAndy]

Would this be televised or streamed ?

 

[The Bighouse]

Be interesting how many we can rotate through the bench / half-time replacements for the entire numbers to be played.

 

[The Bighouse]

Would this be televised or streamed ?

Only lucky enough if CFC streamed it for us I’d say. Glued to BF reports likely.

Will be a tad early for Jones and probably Plowman, Schumacher been in rehab group. If we are considering those in line for early selection would be
surprised to see Ben. Thinking LeBois will get a trial run. Lock at least Gibbons in, Cottrell may get some game time depending on rotation arrangements.

You think Jones will be fit to play, but Marchbank, Macreadie and Williamson won't? Tough call.

 

[Funk]

I hope to be there.

 

[The Bighouse]

I hope to be there.

Notes appreciated

 

[Funk]

Notes appreciated

If I get there I’ll do my best

 

[Mr_Plow]

Haven't checked out the exact date Jones injured his hand. It'd be close to 6 weeks by now, right? Aaaaaaaaaaand it'd be 5 weeks by the 21st, so probably no Jones.

Marchbank and Macreadie have been restricted to jogging laps, not a good sign re availability.

All I know about Williamson is that he is alive.

 

[Jeremias]

Will hopefully be able to make it out there for this one.

Seems completely absurd that Gibbons and Cottrell won’t be able to play.

Indeed, Jones will very likely miss. Plowman would have close to 2 weeks of match sim under his belt by then, that should be enough for a quarter or two. Schumacher I don't know much about, your call.

If we are playing an extended bench I'd give BSOS a run, Hawthorn's tall forwards aren't much chop + many of our players will be unavailable.

I agree that LeBois will play, although I'd prefer that the likes of Polson, Gibbons and Garlett get more game time instead.

We still don't know if Gibbons and Cottrell will play, there was some uncertainty last week with the official club Twitter commenting that they won't be allowed to play. Very recent article in The Age (maybe this evening?) has stated that they are permitted to play in the JLT, but nothing confirmed about this match.

 

[I bleed Blue]

Should be able to make it.

For what reason would they not allow them to play?

 

[Mr_Plow]

For what reason would they not allow them to play?

There were probably some legal issues prior to not being officially signed by the club?
Now that they are official players, I'm not sure where the issue is.

 

[Bamboo Harvester]

Because Gill is a ****wit

I thought Jonesy was like a 2 week injury, would not hamper his pre-season much..?

 

[Mr_Plow]

Nah, he fractured a bone in his hand.

 

[The Bighouse]

Now that they are official players, I'm not sure where the issue is.

They are cleared to play JLT now at least, which I thought there was still conjecture about on the w/end - don’t see the issue if they’re on the rookie list now...
“The dual Liston Trophy winner became eligible to play in the series as soon as he was added to the Blues' list last Friday alongside athletic young midfielder Matthew Cotrell under the AFL's new pre-season supplementary list rules.”

 

[The Bighouse]

Nah, he fractured a bone in his hand.

Minor fracture & expected quick recovery was quoted - must have ad-libbed the 2 weeks (hopeful anyway but he has been running).
