As above we do manage players etc & have them on different programs. If they are all still in rehab, say this time next week then it's not great.11 players in rehab ( 12 if you include Lynch ) doesn’t fill me with excitement.
We need some overdue luck with injuries as our depth is very thin.
Only 1 first round pick at this stage, with 2 second round picks. Will likely trade up with all our draft capital though so could be a handy haul come draft timeIs 2 of those 3 come good then our younger midfield depth suddenly starts looking much better with Taranto, Graham and Bolton all under 26 too, and potentially 3 round 1 draft picks this year in a midfield heavy draft.
No matter how you toss it, having that many players unable to compete in our first game simulation is not ideal. The club had to drag in untried VFL players to make up the numbersAs above we do manage players etc & have them on different programs.

3 firsts is optimistic but I wouldn’t say no!We have 9 picks so I reckon we will trade up to something like 3 1sts and a 2nd.
A lot of unknowns mostly around how good the academy & father/sons are. If they turn out to be good enough the clubs in question can’t afford to pass up then we can sit back and deal for the best offer from each club. Will be a fun trade periodWe have 9 picks so I reckon we will trade up to something like 3 1sts and a 2nd.
Yes but Coulthard injured himself on the 18th Dec, even though he looks close to resuming i think it should have been touched on.only 4 on the injury list wednesday though so maybe there is just some management of players going on, or possibly niggles, nothing too serious
Thomson Dow relegated to the wing in match sim today in favour of Mcauliffe to mid who starred whereas Dow didn't really feature
Oh yes, forgot about the Coulthard injury and also Tylar Young put a pic up on instagram post season of him in hospital after shoulder surgery and as you’ve said he’s still not in full training. Pretty sloppy stuff from the club really. It’s like they’ve only touched on best 18, then everyone else doesn’t matterYes but Coulthard injured himself on the 18th Dec, even though he looks close to resuming i think it should have been touched on.
Young and Juddy are fit as but both shoulders so not yet full contact
Dusty and Cumberland are new, could be just niggles or watch this space.
Grimes has done nothing pre or post christmas so either managing him to his life or seriously struggling.
Bauer??
Shorty is doing half half.
Ross, toe is fine now but calf a bit tight?
The reports I've heard from a few are very encouraging about this lad.Thomson Dow relegated to the wing in match sim today in favour of Mcauliffe to mid who starred whereas Dow didn't really feature
Very, very early days but this kid could prove to be an absolute stealThomson Dow relegated to the wing in match sim today in favour of Mcauliffe to mid who starred whereas Dow didn't really feature
I’m warming to him, the fact he’s quick and. mobile gives him every chance of doing okYeah worth a punt. Imagine him hunting bodies in the forward line, defensively we need that. And would be a match up nightmare.
Point of difference. And I'd throw him in early. More VFL footy won't help him.
yep , he’s the poster boy for giving the media donuts , so was buddy but he’s sailed off nowI imagine the players or clubs who refuse to talk to the press, will be fined. Get ready for another *smile* fight. Poor Dusty, the more he doesn’t want to be interviewed, the more they will hassle him.
