[Groupie_]

Prestia is listed as test on the injury sheet

Vlas TBC (this usually means hes out for a while)

Titch 1 week

Conca 4 weeks

 

[Groupie_]

Wouldn't mind seeing Prestia and Miles play in the same side

I know what the date on the listing is, however for the moment it is the latest on the website and may provide a useful baseline for other players not mentioned in your update.

stop living in the past (a week ago)

Vlas small fracture 3-4 weeks

Prestia more likely to play next week but still a chance for this week

source : Burgey

 

[RobsJourney]

Edwards chance to be back this week

Conca 2-3 in a boot, then 2 to 3 on a program if it has healed well. Could be 6 weeks, could possibly be more.

Graham 4 to 5 weeks then can play game time.

Prestia was just pulling up sore based on not much footy in last 12 months, probably another week away

Vlastuin 3 to 4 weeks, possibly less, possibly more, fracture in shoulder, depends how it heals

 

[RobsJourney]

Based on the injury update, I'm guessing this is a chance:

OUT: Soldo, Vlastuin, Castagna

IN: Nankervis, Edwards, Lennon

They'll keep C. Ellis for Vlastuin's spot I reckon, structure.


I'm guessing though... that's all.

Vlas and Conca out leave big gaping hole in the backline

Bring in Hunt and Mortis

 

[THE THIN MAN]

Bring in Hunt and Mortis

Should be banned for a month for even saying that in jest

This really is another season shaping game. At 5-2 making finals is the minimum expectation. I think last week showed that we have the depth to keep the wins ticking over this season but I'm just worried about a couple of losses affecting the team confidence. They really need to hit back hard this week. After that infamous loss to Freo in 2015 we came out and dismantled the Hawks. That's the response we need this week. A similar loss to the Pies in R2 last year saw a pretty weak response that I'm hoping won't happen this week.

A bigger concern is the injury front, anymore injuries and we won't be able to field an AFL standard side

8 point game.

If you listen to the main board we haven't fielded an AFL standard side for about 7 weeks ...




... or 30 years depending ion the topic.

As long as it isn't a tall player we're still pretty alright. Lloyd, Lennon, Menadue and then the new guys Bolton and Garthwaite still would be reasonable ins.

Oh ****. Thats just made me realize they're going to need to bring in a defender to cover that mid sized defender role. Its probably going to be Hunt or Morris.

Technically no,

Grimes, Rance, Astbury
Short, B.Ellis, Houli
McIntosh

Not sure why we need more defenders

 

[aislegi]

Nice preview tugga although I'm docking a point for use of the word "major"

 

[Groupie_]

we need to have the old gameplan as a plan b, if we get ahead by 4-6 goals we need to be able to switch to the old defensive gameplan so we can win crucial games

not even joking

I'm really hoping we can get Griffiths back... I know he hadn't set the world on fire but he's a 200cm mobile player who, with continuity, could be really bloody good. We've been pretty robbed this year.

Do you see Elton having a 20+ disposal 5 goal game like Griff did against Sydney last year?

Griff can take a pack mark too.

Fingers crossed, come on Griff.

I always preferred


I bought the CD's "its better to travel" and "Kaleidoscope World" back in the 80's

 

[guruisatiger]

Surely Xaviar Richards would have been a better option up forward than Elton.

No
