Based on the list, given we don't have any further setbacks then in a couple of weeks, our injury list could be down to just Johno, plus Mora and Ape. Not a bad position to be in if we can keep it going.

I caught up with Duffy at the Peel game on Saturday and he had a support on his calf that he has injured . He said 3 weeks before he can get back into full training . He was just a bit down on himself about the timing of the injury but still there supporting the boys .

Alex was tried forward a few years ago (or was it last year) and was deadest hopeless.
That said will be interesting to see if they are even tried as a forward for a week or so at Peel to see if they might be some use to us.
McPharlin could play forward. Pav + McPharlin = 66 years of experience.
I remember he was tried as a forward in that brilliant game against Collinwood in 2013. He tackled and pressured like an absolute maniac, but his set-shot kicking was absolutely horrendous.
If there is one thing we don't need it's tackling and harassing maniacs who don't kick goals.

Which is actually a bit out of character. He's a pretty good kick, both in play an at goal. I remember another disastrous game against the Hawks, 2011 I think, where he kicked a couple in tough conditions. He was the only one who could kick straight the whole day. But yeah, the most recent attempt at it, he just couldn't find the sticks.
I remember at the time in interviews etc. that Ross really seemed to want to make it work because he could see SCOS being useful there - his attack on the ball is excellent, though not a supper tall, he's got pretty good hands, is mobile enough and he seemed to know where to go - but for whatever reasons, it just didn't work out and I think that idea is now in the too hard basket for good.

RTB in his 6PR interview said that Dawson's pins were coming out and he'd likely be available for Peel this week, so if that's anything to go by, you'd think Zac will be available for AFL action the following week vs Tigers.

Having Dawson back will allow a chop out for Pearce, and possibly Macca - though it scares me a little to have those 2 back there.
Having SOS back helps a little, though we wont really have full flexibility and structure until Johno returns.
Relatively healthy apart from our defence
You would argue that there is a strong correlation between our 2 way running midfield helping out the depleted defence atm with its declining output

Read somewhere earlier that it'll be on very managed game time.

Think he is only playing in the 2s so I'd say he plays a half at most.
RTB has said Zac is much closer to playing (AFL) then Silva.

Alex was very good in the Collingwood game and gave the forward line a hard edge in contests . He got the ball to ground for the small forwards to crumb and created opportunities for others with good kicking to leading forwards .We won that game without Pav .
Once Dawson is available Alex Pearce should go back to Peel and play at FF to see if he has an impact .
Keep Alex Pearce where he is unless his form dips. he is playing well and RTB mentioned him and Sandilands as only the 2 not mediocre last week. Dawson and Silvagni need game time at a lower level for a couple of weeks as they have played little football. better off in the long run

Taken for-bloody-ever but finally our backline cavalry have appeared on the horizon. Let's hope Alex and Zac get through unscathed, right now actual performance is secondary.
