, who has a partially torn ACL.

His manager Liam Pickering confirmed on Sunday that while he had ACL damage he had absolutely no swelling in his knee.

So Geelong will have to decide whether he needs surgery or risk him playing, aware he might eventually need an operation which could put him out for up to 12 months which would impact his 2027 season. - Herald Sun

IMO this should be removed from the club's decision making.
The club doctor and specialists give the player their advice. And the player and player alone choose if they want to risk it.

It's their career and they should have some autonomy to make those choices.

Unless a journo gets news that breaks early, you just have wait until Tuesday arvo for the official injury reports from the clubs.

So happy for Naughton

A Jones: next week would be more.convenient, tbh

Don't think it matters tbh.
If this week, we're boosting to bring in Retschko and AJ + upgrade.
If next week, we're boosting to bring in Cumming and AJ + upgrade.

Get what you are saying, but it matters to me, was planning a double upgrade.
Would like Jones, but Retschko is clearly coming in.
Just 4 not going into 3 for me, but that's individual circumstance.
